Hi guys
Not really been using my Hacky, as I've been playing a lot of games (mostly my children, not me). However, after hearing that Nvidia released drivers for Pascal support, I went out and bought an Asus Strix 1060 OC 6GB GPU.
Obviously, in Windows, it is flawless. A decent upgrade from my Gigabyte GTX780 OC Windforce.
In order to get it running on macOS, I had to do the following:
1. Update Clover
2. Update from 10.12.1 to 10.12.4 (used combo update)
3. Download and install Nvidia web driver
4. Amend config.plist to use new nvidiaweb activation
Strangely, whilst doing all this, it actually went smooth, with no issues.
The problem I have is that my benches (Cinebench, Luxmark, Unigine Heaven, etc) are all bad results. Especially compared to the GTX780 install.
I am currently on iMac13,2 due to my other hardware (3770K, Z77 Asus Maximus V Gene). In Windows, this build is super quick, and it's quick in macOS.
However, I have just tried playing around with different models (MacPro6,1, MacPro5,1) and not much different happens. My GPU is underperforming a great deal.
I know that I am probably stuck here, as my hardware is going back a few years, but I should be able to get more out of the GPU.
Any ideas? I can drop whatever info you need to assist. Thanks in advance for looking.
