Honestly I respectfully disagree. I use an NVMe drive and I highly recommend it, but whilst HDD to SDD is a huge upgrade, NVMe, whilst on paper a hell of a lot faster (it definitely is) the real world performance improvement isn't nearly as big. Still well worth it if you've got money to burn...
Update: So uh, turns out it was down to faulty DVI cables. How they're able to make a GPU crash is anyone's guess, but after swapping them it's magically fine...
Hello! I have the Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 and I appear to be having the same issue. That is, it's actually stable if I don't use VGTab. Which is bizarre seeing as how I can change power states just fine in Windows.
But something I did notice is that in Windows it won't let me set up different...
Thank you so much for responding to me you excellent person. I'm sure there's far better things you could be doing than giving me advice on how to get my hackintosh to behave so I appreciate it, truly.
I should say, it was absolutely rock solid when I had my Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 but granted...
Thanks for this. I gave it a shot and it certainly improved things. It went from crashing regularly to well, I did the fix last night, left my machine on overnight, it was fine. Got into work and just now I connected to VNC (over an SSH tunnel) and it had died. Restarted the Window Server and...
I've got this GPU. OOB it works but the fan will eventually get really high and stay there. If I use VGTab the fan speeds are kept under control but it crashes regularly for no particular reason, even with virtually no load at all.
Unfortunately it seems to be a rather common issue with this...
Issue I'm having with VGtab, curious to know if anyone else is:
So it works. The fan control works. It works to over and under clock my GPU. That said, it seems regardless of any settings I use, including the defaults, my computer will freeze after being left on for a while, particularly if it's...
So I was experiencing the same issue. If I played video content and did anything even vaguely intensive at the same time (but not necessarily?) such as playing a game or even just using VNC to connect to a server it'd cause my system to freeze.
Interestingly enough, with the iGPU disabled it...
Your best bet for what you describe would be to use some kind of SIP or VOIP service.
There's the app Telephone off the app store which is free and works wonderfully for this - I get a VOIP service (in this case from my ISP) and people can call that phone number and it goes to my hackintosh /...
FakeSMC won't make the fans behave because they're still controlled by the SMC, regardless of what kexts you give OS X to play with.
If the SMC is dead as you suspect the only solution is to replace the SMC with one from a donor board.
If you aren't sure if the SMC is the true culprit...
Don't worry about it - El Capitan doesn't even have a 32-bit version. If you have El Capitan installed, you are running it in 64-bit mode because that's the only version of it that exists.
To be honest, I genuinely suspect Nvidia are just sort of 'passively' supporting hackintosh users. I don't believe that many legitimate Mac users need these drivers.
