Hi guys!
My older ASUS GTX 470 "Fermi" card is starting to do some random artifacts which normally ends with a epic kernel panic/crash. Happens in both Windows and OS X btw! So, I need a new graphics card for my hackintosh and from my own research, it looks like I'm should with a Nvidia GTX 970 "Maxwell" card. Good value and fits my budget + still recommended in Tony's "buyer's guide".
I just need to find out which type/brand I should go with. I've read that you should buy a model that matches the "reference card", since this should be the most compatible with a Mac. Is this true with the GTX 970? In the buyer's guide there are GTX 970 models with different port layout and I'm worried that I gonna pick one where only some ports are working.
I've googled "GTX 970 reference card" and found some pictures of it.
From what I can see the "reference port layout" is the following:
1 x HDMI
1 x DVI
3 x DisplayPort
So which model should i go for? Thanks!
