I'm a bit late to reply, but here's my 2¢... When I moved from hackintosh to a fully spec'd Mac mini, I had the RX580 8gb in an eGPU and then upgraded to the Vega 64 late 2019. The performance differences between the two in fcpx were honestly negligible. Maybe there was a difference in full...

I've never done an ioreg, so point me to how, and I'll generate one for you.

Put simply: the 8700B is literally just a 8700, but soldered to the chipset for mobile platforms. Apparently the only advantage is a higher working temp range. See: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/133/Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_i7-8700B_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-8700.html

This is my actual 2018 Mac Mini:

Well, I don't have the eGPU setup yet, but here's my 2018 Mac Mini Geekbench:

Well guys, I just placed my order for a Mini. Fully loaded, except for the RAM, which I'll upgrade myself. I'll be getting an eGPU enclosure asap and tossing the RX580 in it. I don't think this is the end for me here though, as I'm a tinkerer, and I love being a part of this community. I can't...

Too funny... I literally JUST did the same thing and placed an order for a Sapphire Pulse RX580 to replace my GTX960. I'm hoping it's a smooth simple swap and boot.

Well, this isn't looking good: Hello, Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care. This is Varun, assisting you with your query. From the email description, I understand that you have a query regarding graphics drivers for Mojave. Nvidia is working on an update to Mac drivers that...

If you require Nvidia web drivers, like so many of us do, I think it's best to wait until Nvidia releases the updated driver. You can spoof the driver version in the meantime, but as others have reported, it doesn't 100% function, as Mojave uses an all new Metal v2 framework. I'm guessing that...

Updated through the app store. Everything working perfect...except the obvious Nvidia web driver. Common Nvidia...

Researching my next build, and the Sapphire Pulse RX 580 seems to show up in recommendations here an awful lot. My question is this; would an MSI RX580 be just as compatible, plug 'n play, hassle free as the Sapphire, or is there an actual difference in terms of compatibility. In other words, is...

I'm actually looking at this exact mobile for my next build. I've seen some users explain that the msI is a bit more complicated to setup initially, but can work great if done properly.

Consider an AMD RX580. It's completely plug & play with MacOS, and the AMD cards seem to perform better than Nvidia cards. OpenCL + Metal just likes them better. If you're planning on dual boot and doing any gaming, I'd say go for an Nvidia.

Last night my buddy and I pored over the details and specs for hours for a new set of twin 8700k GA z370N ITX builds we were hoping to make. We just about pulled the trigger, but after one more peruse through the details, I discovered that there's no USB 3.1 gen2, and being ITX, there would be...

Patching the driver with 106 worked for me. Awesome.

This is the first update that I have not been able to perform, ever. Like others, it would just stay stuck at the apple boot logo. Eventually, I just abandoned the update altogether and used clover to boot into my existing MacOS install. Now there's no indication of the update even being...

Super smooth update for me.

As we approach 2018, I'm planing a new build to replace my current hack. I'm currently eyeing an x299, i9-X7900 setup. My main use is Lightroom, and naturally the first thing I've done is seek out some Lr cpu benchmarks...Everything I can find tells the same story; that cpu performance with...

hmmm...for some reason the script isn't working for me. I'm typing sudo /Users/(myusername)/Downloads/webdriver.sh -m Am I doing something wrong?

Performed the APFS update following this guide to the letter... Super smooth sailing. Everything works: USB 3.0, Audio, TRIM, Nvidia Web drivers (was prompted to update on first new boot). No crashes or panics. Gotta thank Tonymac and the community here.
