[SOLVED] Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080/1070

[swatch08]

I'm actually having to mess with this myself, except a 1080 and a 970 are the cards I'm using.
I left the first card (the 1080) in Slot 1 and put the 970 back in slot 2 so I could hackintosh again. DP to the 1080(So I would have it's HDMI available for my Vive) and HDMI to the 970. It seems to be working. (I have to manually switch input modes on the monitor, but that's just one button).

I did set the 970 to be the first boot option. Is there a reason I would need to "disable" the 970 in windows?
Since I bought the 1080 for my vive I was planning on seeing if I could use it as a "physx" card.
Or would that mess things up?
Just finishing my "rebuild" today so I'm not sure what pitfalls I may encounter with my current setup.

It's been a 2 day chore. And a forced "upgrade" to Sierra just to get my hack working. (long story)
Anyway. Any advice/warnings will be appreciated.

Gah. One simple driver and SO much could have been avoided.

hi there, did i read right?
You have a 1080 and a 970 in your PC?
You can boot your windows with the 1080 and the OSX with the 970?
I want a similar setup.
A GT730 in PCIe 2 for OSX and a GTX1060 in PCIe 1 for windows.

Are your coolers from the GTX1080 turning down or do they blow at 100% in OSX?

To tell you the truth I have not been able to play with it long enough to tell. My fans are pretty silent as well. Not sure if there is a good method of testing that while I am booted to OSX. Any software out there that might do that?

I'm getting by with an older ASUS GTX660 TI which plays my current games very well, but I'm hoping they will release drivers so I can update to a newer card sometime this year. If they don't, I'm kinda glad I kept my KVM switch from years ago and I'll build a separate mac.

Hmmmm.
MacRumors (comments) have reported that the new 10.12.3 beta updates ALL Graphics drivers. (AMD, INTEL, GeoForce)
Does one dare to hope? If the persistent rumor is true, that it's Apple dragging their feet here, possibly this could be a step in the right direction.

I bought GT 730 for Hackintosh and left GTX 1080 for windows games. Now I just need to switch monitor input during the boot process (hdmi for windows and dvi for hackintosh)

I don't think that means anything for those with Pascal cards. It's probably just updates to Apple's current lineup of GPU's. Might be some new stuff for the Intel & AMD cards though, so that might be a plus.

Either way, the beta is Dev at the moment, so probably can't really do much with it until the public version is out in a few days...

This happens with virtually every minor OS X update, so (sadly) nothing special here.

After 169 pages, i finally decided not to wait for Pascal drivers and to buy a second Nvidia card (a GTX 960 in second hand, certified by Amazon.fr).

Hack working with:
- GTX 960 in first pcie of my Z170 pro : HDMI (1440p 60hz)
- GTX 1070 in second pcie, for windows only : DisplayPort (1440p 60hz)

Booting in HDMI in Windows (deactivate the GTX 960 in the control panel), select DisplayPort on your screen when you are in Windows to get your 1070 working.

Hack booting so with GTX 960. Installation with i7 6700k with HDMI: select iMac 17.1.
Install Nvidia drivers and booting back: black screen, so reboot without activating the drivers (spacebar when clover menu appears before booting in macOS).
Solution: install AGDPfix, and reboot your hack.

Booting perfectly in macOS 10.12.2 with GTX 960 and fully acceleration in 1440p

can you tell me why i would need to disable the 960 in windows?
i am doing the same thing, but i am also using a 770 along with my 1080 in windows. The 1080 is set to 2d surround mode with 3 monitors. the 770 is for one monitor.
does that setup affecting the 1080's performance?
thanks
