mc86 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I know this question has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find a clear answer because of conflicting opinions. From what I understand, Nvidia is easier for beginners because of the web drivers (but may be unsupported in future updates), whereas AMD cards require a bit more configuration through the installation of kexts, but is more stable in the long run. I've heard some cards work OOB, others require special kexts, and some work with reduced functionality. I found this article: http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/06/hackintosh-graphics-cards.html I'm considering the GTX 980 or R9 390X. Which one would be the most stable? For the record, I plan on using a lot of Adobe apps, and I understand they're CUDA-based, but I've also heard OpenCL works just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 There isn't a real best choice these cards are both "badass" Btw Cuda should be more useful for rendering stuff, but this is just my personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattsCreative Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 everything in os x uses opencl for rendering and nvidia doesnt do to good in os x for opencl so in more than one way amd our runs nvidia for rendering and 3d modeling and many other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc86 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Good to hear. I plan on dual-booting with Windows though, so I need to make sure it will work with either OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
