Hey folks -

Been using my Hackintosh for about 18 months now and it has been great. I am a video editor that works in Premiere and Avid and I saw that the Microcenter by the house has a GTI 660 Ti for $150 right now. I was thinking of grabbing that and adding it to the system to get a performance boost in Adobe.

I don't play graphically intensive games and really just care about getting a CUDA bump and hopefully having DaVinci Resolve see both cards. The 660 Ti has been great for me in terms of easy OOB compatibility.

Is this a good way to go, or is the bump going to be pretty limited and I am better off with a newer card? The 660 Ti has a good number of CUDA cores, so I was hoping that it would be a nice add - or am I better off waiting a bit, buying a 980 with 4gigs of RAM and dealing with getting that to work?
 
If the goal is additional CUDA cores, go for the second 660 Ti.

It also helps that the 660 Ti is supported in OS X and the GTX980 needs nVidia drivers to get full use of the card.
