Hi. I have (maybe) a stupid question. So this is my first hackintosh, it works awesome with my 980 ti and sierra 10.12.1.

Do you think Nvidia will continue to support this card, or will the nvidia drivers stop as soon as Apple does not support the old mac pro's anymore (also when is that?)

Another questions: when 1080 ti comes out, can I just buy that one, and use two cards? (one for macOS and one for Windows) ? :)

Tricky question. I think the 2010-2012 (5,1) MP will not be supported in macOS 10.13, which will fall in the "legacy" label and nVidia may stop supporting it.

Maxwell is like 4 years old, so I assume we might have Vega support (if Apple chooses to go that route in 2017 for the circular Mac Pros) so it won't be that bad.
 
Hi, I understand that Nvidia drivers are used for graphics acceleration for OS X apps. However, has anyone tried installing the CUDA toolkits and running deep learning scripts using Terminal (through tensorflow or theano, etc) with Pascal GPUs?

Thanks!

I actually thought about buying two cards too since the 980ti is pretty expensive.
Buying one 980ti would cost more than lets say a 1070 (for windows) + a 950/960 (for mac) and according to user benchmark.com the 1070 outperforms the 980ti.
But ... I don't know ... would you recommend that approach?
Is there a downside of having two cards physically attached all the time? Like power consumption?
What I don't want to do is physically install the 1070 every time I boot into windows :)

I assume you leave both attached all the time and have the monitor connected to both cards?
 
I've sold my msi 1070 card, just can't wait for too long time to check this post almost everyday
 
Oh god... Just get 2x 980/980Ti and do a cleaner job, and enjoy monster performance in SLI in Windows without having to install useless different cards. This way you get performance and compatibility in MacOS and extreme performance in Windows without having to build a horrible patchwork of cards.

Thats a good question for most except im personally having issues booting into Sierra via clover using intel inject.

Okay, that's odd. My Intel Inject for Intel HD 530 works fine. But it's not the cleanest solution having two cables directing into a single display. But it works for me without unplugging cables.
