performance

I have a few questions regarding the NVIDIA GPU's on High Sierra, and their performance. If I wanted to get the fastest GPU acceleration possible on a Hackintosh, would I want to go the NVIDIA route for my build? I know that a lot of the 10 series graphics card are supported on High Sierra, and...

Hey guys, I've been tearing my hair out trying to research this on my own, and I'm hoping one of you experts can answer this simply and maybe offer some advice. You all have saved me significant headaches through the years with your diligence and generosity. My machine was built by a friend a...

I installed my Catalina (10.15.4) system last night. I have a STRIX Vega 64 and an i7 6700k. My monitor is able to handle 1440p at 144hz but Mac defaults this to 1440p at 60hz. I do have the option to change to 144hz in the settings but when I do the ui lags badly, however the mouse does not...

Hi, I have successfully installed and dual-booting win10 on a small SSD, and High Sierra on a mechanical HDD. I am experiencing that my MacOS install has significantly slower performance than my windows installation, and I expect it is because of the hdd its installed on. My plan is to upgrade...

I started out with a Radeon HD 7970 on my first Hackintosh and later got a second one. Seemed to be plug and play and they worked great. I later upgraded to a Nvidia 980 Ti and used web drivers and that card has been working good as well. Now I have a new Hackintosh and I'm still using my 980...

Hello all, I'm using Mac computers for 11 years now. Before I switches to Mac I have built multiple PCs with Windows and not had any problems. Now I'm trying to build my first Hackintosh because Apple can't deliver the performace I need (at least not for the budget I have). Does anyone has tips...

I have a Dual-OC 1050ti 4GB and the hackintosh is very laggy. Youtube, Netflix, resizing tabs causes mini-freezes, laggy. The WebDriver version is 387.10.10.10.25.156, CLOVER folder attached.

Hello. Being a hackingtosh lover i always try to challenge myself and test the new operative systems from Apple, after a couple of updates have been released. I have been using Yosemite for ages and despite not having any major bugs, i had many little problems here and there, but it worked; i...

Hi, I am struggling to make the Sapphire Radeon RX580 NITRO+ working. Everything is almost fine, except for the overall performance, which is lower that other users claim. But the greatest problem is that after some time of work the GPU drops significantly in performance (6x) and it usually...

hi! I now have my first hackintosh up and running (well) - but the compute score in Geekbench gives me not even half (rather a third) of what it should be (compared to an iMac with a 580 pro). my score is about 55000 (my result ID: 1556109) OpenGL scores seem to be ok (cinebench, valley etc..)...

Hi guys, I´m currently thinking about upgrading my 2013 setup, but I´m not sure the performance boost is worth the price. I mainly use my Hackintosh for AE and Premiere Pro, so getting better video editing performance is my main reason for a potential upgrade. Currently I have: • Intel Core...

Hi guys, I made a new hackintosh with High Sierra 10.13.1, and everything is running fine except one thing - Whenever I start Safari (or Chrome) the performance of the whole system gradually goes bad - browsing gets unresponsive, youtube or any other videos become choppy and laggy, but apart...

Hello Everyone, I am using my hackintosh mostly for video and photo editing and was courious about using a Fusion drive for my daily work. The scope was to build a drive with high read/write throughput and high capacity and as cheap as possible. I have with great success managed to create a...

I have been trying for 2 months now to get my Hackintosh running up to speed for video editing. I did a test using Premiere Pro, and it renders 5 times slower than an old 2009 Mac Pro with a GTX 760 using the same exact settings and clip. System: Sierra 10.12.5 GTX 1080 Ti Intel Core i7 6700K...

Hi Guys, I am a newbie hackintosher in here. First of all, Thank you all guys for your all effort for us. (for Newbies) I just made a hackintosh system for business --and rarely, gaming--. I just want stability like real Macs. After all those "stress test videos", I felt like a child. So happy...

Hello Hackintosh Community, one year ago I bought an macbook 2015 (for traveling). Sometimes I also work with final cut pro x and my problem was that the macbook don't have enough power to handle complex projects. (1,2Ghz Intel Core M - 500GB - Intel 5300 Graphics). Thats why I decided to take...

Anyone have any preferences between these two options, or experience with both? I'm specifically wondering if either have any better track record when it comes to audio performance. (I'm working with Ableton myself, but curious about Logic or other DAWs as well.) I've read some people arguing...

Hello! My setup is the following (new build): macOS Sierra 12.3, Samsung SSD, Asus Z170-A motherboard with i5 6600 Skylake, 32GB RAM and MSI GeForce GTX 950 2GB. Before the installation of Nvidia drivers I would not have any slow rendering performance, but after the installation the mouse is...

Good morning all, I am new to the Hackintosh scene, but I've been using Mac OS for over 12 years, and I am looking for advise really. I successfully installed the Sierra 10.2.2 hackintosh build onto my i7-2600K 4.2Ghz with an Nvidia GTX 970. Initially, I had really trouble getting the GTX 970 to...
