diestler Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm looking to build a "Hack Mac Pro" and looking forward to taking advantage of CUDA - so I'm trying to stick with NVidia cards - but I would like it be fully compatible and not have any issues with a hackintosh. The problem is the 285 is tough to find new, although it sounds like it works like a charm. It looks like the 460 was on tonymac as fully compatible, but now it's crossed out and I hear you have to loop a video in the background to have it work correctly. The 470 is still listed on tonymac, but wouldn't it have the same problems as the 460? I am running 10.6.8. Any advice? I want it to be easy to set up and fully functional. Thanks!

Hackintosh2000 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 nVidia GTX 260 896 mb has been the easiest in my experience. It works with GraphicsEnabler=yes. No extra kexts required. CUDA drives download and install no problem. It works in 10.6.3-10.7 retail. I haven't tried all the outputs yet though. THIS is the one I have. It has two DVI outputs. I wouldn't get a card with more ram. People have had a bit more trouble getting those to work.

jeopardise Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I have a GTX285 and not having a single problem with Snow Leopard and Lion. No problem with Adobe CS5 too and confirmed to work faster with Mercury Playback Engine.
