This guide is for macOS High Sierra 10.13!! For macOS Sierra 10.12, see The Perfect Customac-Pro: X99-A II, i7-6950X, 128GB G.Skill TridentZ, Aorus GTX TI Xtreme...

Both guides should work for your system configuration.

Cheers,

I have a similar build with i7-6850, no OC.
However, the performance is not promising as in windows.
Cinebench only 956 cb. Geekbench scores 4785(single-core) , 24811(multi-core).

What about performance of your build?

See my benchmark results towards the end of my macOS 10.12 Sierra Desktop Guide.

Results for macOS 10.13 High Sierra are approx. indentical.

I want to thank you very much for this amazing write up and the share. Using your EFI folder, I was able to get AMD VEGA Frontier Edition working 100% on X99!

I also want to know, how do you prevent black screen issue with AMD video card?

Buy a AMD VEGA card. It doesn't have this issue
