I just got my MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Armor 8G OC today and while it's working fine in Windows 10, my reason for posting is to share my experience of how it operates in El Capitan (v10.11.6).
I have a UHD monitor plugged in via DisplayPort as the primary and a HDMI monitor plugged in as the secondary. El Capitan does NOT see the secondary and doesn't use the maximum/optimum resolution of the UHD monitor; it's stuck at an old, oddball resolution of 1280x1024. The graphical performance is also sub-par.
I also performed a test where the HDMI monitor was the only one plugged in. While the maximum/optimum resolution of 1920x1080 was used, the graphical performance remained sub-par. I tried "hot plugging" in the UHD monitor and it did NOT result in it being recognized.
This is a far cry from the GTX 780 I used to have in this Hackintosh! I makes me wonder if I should keep using it for El Capitan until Sierra comes out and hopefully there will be resolution (no pun intended) for using the GTX 10xx series.
By the way, has anyone tried the latest Nvidia driver (v346.03.15f02) to see if it makes a difference?
