Macandcheese Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hola InsanelyMac peoples In light of a lot of amazing new GPU's being released, what is the most powerful nvidia card that one can use with a hackintosh? For my purposes, gaming, video editing, and graphic design (not in that order per say), I'm looking for a powerful card that has full acceleration and no random issues that would make it a terrible purchase, like restarts or something. So there is the GeForce GTX 580 I guess is the top of the line. Any problems with this gpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangten Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Your idea of fully working is relative to what features you need: CUDA, Rotation, Displayport Be careful what your choosing. my 2 cents worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazybon3 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The latest ("most powerfull") fully supported Cards are: NVidia Geforce GTX 285 NVidia Quadro 4000 For those Cards you don't need any additional Kexts, if you use GraphicsEnabler and a up-to-date Version of chameleon. The GTX 460/470/480 seem to work with QE/CI, but in my experience they work pretty good, in about 90%. But i experienced some Problems with the Framebuffers, in Final Cut i can't Preview Clips that have not been rendered, and the list goes on. So if you want full compatibility now get the GTX285 or Quadro 4000 I wouldn't get a Fermi Card for OSx86 until those Chips are fully supported.
