Hello!
I would like to ask you as a Hakintosh guru to help me with some issues.
I assemble Hakintosh specially for work with CG soft.
I need CUDA support very much.
Dual-display mode support.
Internal Raid.
Preferably work of two Video Graphics Card in SLY.


As I understand, the best Video Graphics Card for my needs is GTX 285 or am I wrong?
I have possibility to buy nVidia GeForce GTX 285 1024Mb XFX 648M DDR3 2DVI, TV ( GX-285X-ZWFA ) Retail or Inno3D N285-1DDN-D3EV GeForce GTX 285 1Gb 512bit GDDR3 1476/2484Mhz GT200 55?? DVI/D-Sub/HDMI/HDCP Rtl.
Which one is better to choose?
Are there any problems or instability with GTX 285?

I think the other parts will be as follows:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
Processor: Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Archon
Memory: Corsair HX3X12G1600C9 XMS3 12 GB PC3-12800 1600Mhz Kit
DVD+/-RW Drive: Sony Optiarc AD-7240S-0B
HDD: 1.5Gb SATA-III Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 (5pis)
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
Monitor: dell u2410 (2pis)
Power: Cougar GX 1050 80 PLUS
Graphics: ???


Could you advise how to install Hakintosh on given selection of hardware in order everything operate with no problems and failures.

Sorry for muddle, Hakintosh is the new for me.
 
In my experience the GTX 285 is a very good card and has worked without any problems whatsoever on my system. Any GTX 285 should work OOB.

I don't think anyone has managed to get SLY working on a hack. Check the 'search' on this forum.

All the other components in your build are fully supported. All good choices in my opinion.

If you are looking for a RAID card, I believe there are some HighPoint RocketRAID cards that are supported. Check out this guide:

For install instructions, you could read my post on my install as I am using almost exactly the same components as you:

Thanks a Lot for your replay! I bought hardware and install Hackintosh already. I purchase the same memory as you have becouse I think it a good choise for further upgrade.
