E-Chris Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm thinking about buying a Nvidia 285GTX. Is the PC version the same as the Mac version? Is there any reason I'd want the Mac version over the PC version. (Will the Mac version even work on a hackintosh?) Thanks for the advise.

Mackilroy Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 They're not exactly the same - the Mac version has an EFI ROM which allows it to be used under OS X, while the PC version does not. EVGA's version should work in a hackintosh, but if you were going to buy either I'd go for the PC version.
