Hi Guys'n Gals
I'm clearly a n00b specking up my hackintosh to take advantage of black friday/ciber monday, and would really love 1 piece of advice please. I am currently running a 2012 17inch mac book pro on a 27 inch thunderbolt display. This is the system I am trying to "upgrade" to hackintosh.
The motherboard will be a GA-Z97X-UD7-TH which has a built in HD4600 video card with a thunderbolt port...
The video card providing acceleration will be either a GTX760/780...
My problem is I want to continue using my apple cinema display which is thunderbolt based, and I will need to plug it into the motherboard thunderbolt slot which runs off the HD4600 built in card...(non accelerated)
Does that mean that my cinema display will effectively not be using the GTX760/80 and will not be receiving acceleration from them, e.g. for gaming? (I know this might sound like a really retarded question, but I need to know )
Is there any solution to use my apple cinema display and to gain the acceleration as if it was plugged into a mac?
Thanks in advance...
