Hello,
I´m looking for a new graphics card to be natively supported by macOS Catalina. Of course I read through a lot of posts and I think an Radeon RTX 580 would be the right one in terms of performance for my needs. At the moment, I´m running a NVIDIA GT640 but that is a little dated , even for the occasional game.
Due to the fact that my hackintosh consists of a Lenovo ThinkCentre M83MT (i7 4770, so still ok to play a bit) with a Lenovo-special motherboard, I have 1 must and 1 nice to have requirement for the card:
1) MUST: in order to keep the front panel connectors like USB, card reader and mic/headphone jacks working the card must not be longer than max. 225mm!
2) NICE TO HAVE: would be great if the card could work without separate power connecter (6 or 8 pin). The built-in power supply doesn´t offer them... Of course I could put in another power supply but that would require an additional adapter for the mainboard connectors, too (again a proprietary solution of Lenovo...).
I´m happy for every suggestion...
Best regards
Frank
