> I think now you can use, or soon will be able to, Pascal based GPUs They are supported! I'm writing this comment on a hackintosh running a GTX 1060. Nvidia released Pascal-compatible Mac drivers 2 weeks ago (April 11). Interesting but unverified side story, the drivers were apparently released because of an email from a redditor: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/65hpc8/funny_story_an_email_i_sent_to_the_ceo_of_nvidia/ https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/65hpc8/funny_story_a... > Windows + Linux subystem is pretty great, or just booting directly into Linux. I built this new computer recently and gave Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 both a shot. I decided I didn't want to relearn how to be productive with them and turned it into a hackintosh, and I'm very happy with it so far.

> They are supported! I'm writing this comment on a hackintosh running a GTX 1060. Nvidia released Pascal-compatible Mac drivers 2 weeks ago (April 11). Same! I was waiting for the pascal drivers to take the 1080 Ti plunge, and I am super happy I did (literally installed it 48h ago, upgrading from a 980). I have a 6700k "mac" that flips to a top of the line gaming pc if I am in the mood for that. Glorious: http://fred.d.pr/FQLuV http://fred.d.pr/FQLuV

  I'm looking to build something like that. Did you use a specific guide/golden build?
  - fredoliveira 9y ago
    There's the base guide at tonymacx86 [0], which got me 95% there. Then it was a matter of learning about specific things (like installing and enabling NVidia drivers, etc). It doesn't take a ton of time. I did keep great notes about all the process in hopes I'd have time to write an extensive guide, but still haven't quite been able to come up with the time to write it.

      Please share those notes if you don't find the time for a full blog post. 2018 is still a long way from here and who knows how that new Mac Pro will be.

Try running Instruments on it, or opening an iBook. Won't work. There's issues (driver code signing related, I believe) that appear when trying to run apps that use Metal.

Not sure I agree that the overhead of running windows and linux subsystem is greater than keeping a Hackintosh running. I ran a Hackintosh for several years, but finally got tired of the update process, waiting for the right video drivers to be released, maintaining all this context, and then still have some quirks every now and then. The only solution to me would be running OS X on my own desktop hardware. I'd gladly pay Apple a nice premium for this.

  I get that, and I haven't done any updates yet, but from the research I've done I don't expect much trouble until the next major version of macOS. We'll see how it stands up over time.
