280x

I borrow my dad's iMac a lot, which scores at 55sec on the BruceX Test. I just want a system that performs better. So what I need to know is if you (the experts) see any issues with this setup outside of the typical clover boot. Based on my research the 280x is currently the best performing...

Hi, My system was created long time ago and it works like a charm. But I already forgot many things. Here is my system: GA Z68 UD3, i7 2700k, 16RAM, EVGA GTX570, Mavericks. The bios was upgraded to EFI long time ago. I'm looking forward to upgrading to El Capitan, because some new software...

I haven't been able to find evidence of this anywhere else, but the Sierra update seems to have brought on some slight issues with the 280X graphics card. It worked like a dream in El Capitan. I primarily use it for OpenCL rendering performance with Final Cut and a few others. Ever since the...

I'd like to get a 4K monitor for photo and video work. Probably the LG 31MU97. I need acceleration in Sierra/FCPX, but my editing needs are modest, as I'll only be working with 1080p footage with minimal VFX. What's the best GPU to drive a 4K display in Sierra? I've read the 280x is limited to...

Hello. For couple days I have been trying to install El Capitan to my Western digital storage drive, I have already partion it so i have about 500GB free space for the install. I'm running W10 on my ssd and have vmplayer running with the latest El Capitan. I have made a boot usb from a 8GB...

INTRODUCTION Back in 2010, I already built two Hackintosh machines and after working on a MacBook Pro and an iMac for almost 5 years, I decided to turn my existing gaming platform into a Hackintosh instead of buying a new Mac. I tried installing Yosemite or Mavericks (can't really remember) a...

I am about to built an system for video editing on Final Cut Pro X for a client and we need maximum performance and at least 2 monitors and a SDI video output for monitoring. I was thinking about these parts. 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2660 SR0GZ (around 120€ used from ebay, both without heatsink)...

Hi everybody, I don't know why, but i buy always the worst graphic card for my needs... OS X version should be 10.9.xxx, the boot sequence stops here. With -V and GraphicEnabler=No

This sticky is aimed at people who want to do Video Editing with Final Cut Pro X on a Z97X based motherboard, normally with an Intel 4790K CPU. It tries to answer most of the common questions that come up time and time again. This sticky is NOT aimed at people who will do a 30 sec video edit...

Hi guys I got my hackintosh to work smoothly today, the only thing I can't get to work is the HDMI audio on my card. I have already tried to install the kext and with my installation in EFI worked, but the performance of the graphic card was horrible. I decided to switch to normal installation +...

Hey folks! I've been running 10.10.1 without any issues on my rig (in profile) with ASUS R9 280x + Dell u3415w (3440x1440) via Displayport. But after I updated to 10.10.3 I get black screen after boot (screen goes standby, where should be login) even in safemode. If I switch it to HD4600 (via...

I have a problem with the resolution of my video card. When I boot, then I have the full 2560x1440 resolution. Once the PC is on Login Screen, the resolution drops to 1920x1080. I've tried everything but nothing has helped yet. Graphics card is a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X, Model: 11221-20-40G...
