New AMD Radeon VII on my Hackintosh

I am waiting for Navi to see how it performs and the price. I will maybe do what I did for my 2nd hack, a dual boot with a powerful Nvidia card and a mid range card for MacOS. Wait and see until next MacOS release.

Good strategy!

My only problem is I’m pretty much tied to one GPU only since I am totally into ITX cases and small form factor builds.

(Not into the iGPU thing personally - like MacOS to have a bit more to work with)
 
I can’t figure out if I’m gonna like that card or not…

There are so many mixed opinions and so many people complaining about noise and heat
 
I have a Radeon VII with an i9-9900K and it has been excellent, especially compared to my RX580. Solid construction, and performance. There is always opinions of new technology but I am looking forward to 10.14.5 and using this GPU.

So how often are you having to listen to the fans on yours?
 
It rarely gets loud, only on GPU tests.
Daily use hasn’t been getting loud at all.

Do you hear it even at idle just doing normal browsing/office/email stuff?
Just trying to get a sense of it - thank you!
 
Can one use *only* the Radeon VII right now if on the latest beta or is another GPU still required partially?
