The Vega 64 is the same card used in the high-end, 5600 iMac Pro (the 5000 model uses the Vega 56). Introduction Choosing a new graphics card is never easy, but its even more difficult when its for a Hackintosh. As well as the usual price and performance considerations, you also have compatibility to think about. To help you make a decision, weve chosen 4 of what we consider the best Hackintosh compatible graphics cards available to buy in 2018. AMD or Nvidia Mac OS X Mojave, and its predecessor High Sierra, are heavily biased in favour of AMD graphics cards. ![]() R290X For Amd High Sierra Drivers In OSThis is mainly due to the fact that AMD graphics chips are present in all of the current Macs with discrete graphics, so drivers in OS X are heavily optimised for AMD chips. In fact, at the time of writing in 2018 its been 5 years since Apple shipped a new Mac containing a Nvidia GPU (the 2013 iMac). In addition, beginning with High Sierra 10.13.4, Apple officially introduced eGPU support for the following cards AMD RX 470 AMD RX 480 AMD RX 570 AMD RX 580 Radeon Pro WX 7100 AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Vega Frontier Edition Air Radeon Pro WX 9100 and native drivers for these cards are included in Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.4 or later, and in 10.14 Mojave. R290X For Amd High Sierra Free Installation AndSo, for the best compatibility, most trouble-free installation and good performance, I recommend buying AMD over Nvidia. That said, I have included one Nvidia card in this selection, as they will work in Mac OS X High Sierra using Nvidias Web Drivers (drivers for Mojave are yet to be released), and if youre a gamer, they perform better in games under both Mac OS X and Windows compared to AMD cards at a similar price point. So which one should I get The answer to this question depends a lot on what you want to do, whether you want to be reliant on third party drivers, and how much you have to spend. All of the cards listed in our recommended Hackintosh GPU list will perform well, but here are our four top picks. Name VRAM Power Shading units Texture units Sapphire RX 560 Pulse 4GB Best Value 4GB 80W 1024 64 Sapphire Radeon Nitro RX580 8GB Best Price-Performance 8GB 185W 2304 144 EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming 11GB Best For Gaming 11GB 250W 3584 224 Sapphire Nitro RX Vega 64 8GB Best for Video Editing 8GB 295W 4096 256 Sapphire RX 560 Pulse 4GB Best Value For a budget build, the best value card is the Sapphire RX 560 Pulse 4GB. Its easy to get running under Mac OS X High Sierra, and works well in Final Cut Pro and Motion. This card is going to give you better performance in OS X than most of the current real Macs (apart from the high-end 27 iMac and the iMac Pro) while costing under 200. The power consumption is low, making it economical to run, and its one of the more compact cards, so is easier to install in smaller cases where space is at a premium. View on Amazon Sapphire Radeon Nitro RX580 8GB Best Price-Performance If youre willing to spend a bit more, the best bang for the buck card you can get right now for a Hackintosh is the Sapphire Radeon Nitro RX580 8GB. It has one of the fastest burst clocks of the available RX 580 cards, and is going to give you an excellent level of performance in OS X. It also has twice the VRAM of the cheaper 4GB cards while not costing that much more, and because its an AMD card youre not reliant on Nvidias often buggy drivers. R290X For Amd High Sierra 1080P Or 1440PIts also a very capable gaming card, able to run current games in high or ultra details at 60fps in 1080p or 1440p with ease. Best of all, its reasonably priced, considering the performance this card has to offer. View on Amazon EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming 11GB Best For Gaming If your primary focus is Windows gaming, but you want the ability to run OS X as a second OS, then the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming 11GB is head and shoulders above the other cards in gaming performance. Its also a perfectly capable OS X card, using Nvidias drivers. In the BruceX 5K export test, it scored a very respectable 20.1 seconds, making it just a little slower than the RX 570 and RX 580.
