Ok, here it goes:
I'm reaching out to all of the great, amazing people in this community for your help. This is my first Hackintosh build (wife and I have named her Ripley - from the Alien series). She had been working pretty well with a few exceptions. The ultimate goal is to get full acceleration and the best rendering speeds in FCPX/Motion (which I use primarily) and Adobe AE and some other apps.
When it was working at it's best, I would have artifacts appear in the preview of some of the generators and plugins in FCPX (mostly motionVFX plugins) and normal video footage. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them to no avail. I'm aware it has to do with something in my setup. I've read through most of the comments in this post to try and find the best way to resolve this and here's where I'm at:
1. Do I try to fix what I currently have by changing a number of settings?
2. Do I erase it all and start from scratch? (really don't want to do this)
I've included a zip file with everything I can think would be needed to make an assessment (config.plst file, screen shots of S/L/E folder and L/E folder, etc.) and some additional screen shots. My current SYMBIOS is iMac 14.2 (thinking this should be changed), I'm using Clover Configurator 4.60.3.4, and my specs are:
Gigabyte-Z170X-UD3
Intel Core i7 6700K (Skylake)
32GB RAM (2x16gb BallistiX Sport)
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SSC GAMING ACX 3.0
I thank you all in advance for your help, wisdom and advice.
=)
