Run Activity Monitor and see if a program or process is consuming CPU. In my case it was Backup & Sync from Google.

Thanks for your great guide. It helped me recover from trying to install 10.13! Anyhow, what BIOS settings are you using to get 4.2GHz? Mine is stuck at 3.2GHz no matter what I do or else it's a kernel panic.

Anyone solve this problem yet? I'm using a 3930k, Gigabyte X79, MSI R9 280X. I can hear audio when it's done booting, but I can't see anything. I've tried everything.

I have 2 280X running 2 monitors. I'm pretty sure it can handle 3. I had to install the bootloader to an EFI partition though: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/115818-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition.html

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FR6XPL8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8

Picked up another 280X used on Amazon for $175. Just dropped it in, no Crossfire. Bruce X score dropped from 34 sec down to 21.

That didn't work for me. I just got errors saying the extensions were not installed properly.

You should hook your friend up with your 650ti and get yourself a 280X. I just replaced my two 650ti's with a 280X yesterday. Amazon had manufacturer refurb MSI 280X's for $259 the other day. My BruceX score with a single 280X was 34 seconds compared to 48 seconds I was getting with two 650ti's...

good idea. Here's a new thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/buying-advice/126157-final-cut-pro-x-fcpx-graphic-card-performance.html#post771416

Here's a link to a benchmark many are using that will help in deciding what graphic card to buy for FCPX use: http://www.fcp.co/forum/hardware/18250-brucex-try-this-new-final-cut-pro-x-benchmark (When you run the benchmark, just output to standard ProRes. Most are having trouble exporting to...

I added a 2nd identical MSI 650ti and it made a significant improvement in FCPX. I used this 'benchmark': http://www.fcp.co/forum/hardware/18250-brucex-try-this-new-final-cut-pro-x-benchmark My result went from 76 seconds to 48 seconds by just simply dropping the card in - no configuration...

It's been working great with FCPX 10.1. I didn't have to do anything special. It's the same chip on both cards so I'm not sure why yours wouldn't work. I'm using mine on a Gigabyte motherboard. I'm thinking of adding a 2nd video card to see if there's any additional performance gain with 10.1.

Supposedly having a 2nd video card (not sure if it needs to be identical or not) will speed things up even more. Keep us posted if you give it a try.
