    Finished my first build and I have to say...

    And I guess I have to say: Thanks for all the people that stick around and help people accomplish their hackintosh goals. After seeing a few weeks of forum posts it's really just a never ending stream of unpaid tech support. Well, most of the helpers at least, I assume!

    Post your SSD benchmarks using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test

    If I had 1 GB/s internet, or anything interfaced that at that speed or needed to with the ssd, or had to copy very large files a lot...hmm can you think of any other benefits? I assume booting your hard drive is significantly faster than just a normal 300mb/s? Any benchmarks of boot speeds /...

    Hide clover and boot straight into Mac

    Think it would be possible to patch the loader to display an image/ freeze the frame when the drivers switch to avoid...I guess you'd need an intermediary GPU or something lol

    Oh you people and your hard drives that cost more than an entire computer :D

    Hide clover and boot straight into Mac

    Nice that worked out, now Clover and the apple logo are 2560x1440 the whole time. The monitor still does a resolution blink about 30% through loading. Not sure if that's a quirk of my of my cheap monitor.

    [GUIDE] Remove extra Clover BIOS boot entries & prevent further problems

    So for what it's worth, when I started doing this, I thought it would be a good idea to actually go completely against this guide and to have two bootable mac OS operating systems. Two different EFI partitions, two different clover bootloaders (using my bios to separate which clover bootloader I...

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    Interesting, I had installed CUDA alongside the webdrivers and never experienced this issue. (GTX 970) Could it possibly be unreleated to the CUDA drivers? Did you happen to do anything else to your system (config.plist changes, etc?) One thing that caused my graphics to revert to the 5mb~...

    Hide clover and boot straight into Mac

    Been using Display port since I got my GTX 970 - it does seem to work more consistently with Mac than it ever did with windows haha. I'm wishing I could get clover boot + apple logo to 2560x1440 the entire time for a sleek experience. Then I'll hide the clover bootloader complete

    NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (367.15.10.35)

    after changing mac definitions I got the ripple effect. Still not impressed by these drivers or my video cards performance in OS x but, maybe itll work a lot better for mac things like video editing etc

    Post your SSD benchmarks using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test

    I was watching this video in pristine quality while I did the test. Edit: Joke-brag aside, I have a sabertooth z77 which comes with 2 6 gb/s sata ports. (That means something, rite?)

    Post your SSD benchmarks using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test

    Interesting, after enabling trim it's been giving me 300+ mb/s

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    Good call with checking the CPU. Seems it's not stepping up to it's turbo. They are capping at 3.4 GhZ

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    I'm not getting hit with too much heavy slow down, mostly quick stutters that recover or stutter quickly again. It's choppy, it's sad to hear that it's a source / mac problem.

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    I used the kext to determine that it had the states to populate, and then ran a CPU benchmark and had comparable results to other i5 2500ks. For extreme HD preset benchmark (18 scenes) I scored 2156 with 26 minimum frames and 74 maximum average 55. If it's not my graphics card I wonder what...

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    Roger that. I'm testing it now. But I'm getting such bad stuttering with DOTA 2. I mean...it's DOTA 2...and this is a GTX 970...

    Gah! Just reinstalled from scratch, still no hardware acceleration GTX 970

    Yep, rechecked the basics. I do understand about the idle states now, however, even when I do Cinebench, the fan does not go anywhere near full RPM -- which to me would indicate its not getting heated to its capacity / working to its capacity either...but I could be wrong - IE the card could be...

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    Well I got the wavy effect to appear by changing my system definition to 14,2...still using an SSDT generated for sandy bridge (12,2) -- however I watched my graphics card while doing the Cinebench and it's going no where near as fast as it could...

    Confused about GTX 970 - getting Novabench ~200 score

    So should I focus on changing my i5 2500k to 1 processor 4 cores? Do I have to change definitions for that?
