Hello guys, I'm new to hackintoshing and after reading a lot I've build my first one this weekend. This is my hardware:
Gygabite ga z170x-ud3
Skylake i7 6700k
MSI Radeon rx 480x gaming 8gb
16gb DDR4 RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2C8G4D240FSB
750w power supply
Samsung evo 500gb ssd
Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM (dp, hdmi, dvi, vga inputs)
The monitor is connected via hdmi to my rx480. And via vga to my z170x-ud3. With hdmi input selected.
I've installed osx Sierra via unibeast and installed drivers via multibeast. Multibeast settings:
Quick start > uefi boot mode
Drivers > audio > realtek alcxxx > ALC1150
Drivers > audio > realtek alcxxx > 100 series audio
Drivers > misc > fakeSMC v6.21-311-g2958f55.1723
Drivers > misc > fakeSMC plugins v6.21-311-g2958f55.1723
Drivers > misc > fakeSMC hwmonitor application v6.21-311-g2958f55.1723
Drivers > misc > NullCPUPowermanagement v1.0.0d2
Drivers > network > intel > IntelMausiEthernet v2.2.0
Bootloaders > clover v2.3k r3766 UEFI Boot Mode
Customize > system definitions > iMac > iMac 14,2
Reboot.
Audio and network are working.
Graphics are (as expected) not so good, lines and no accelartion ofc.
Then I've read this whole forum post, thanks everyone for giving tips.
And did my best to get accelartion to work on my rx480.
First I've edited the 4100kext (copy to desktop, make duplicate, edit, and copy back to the kext). Then ive Cleard cache via terminal command, ran kext utility and rebooted.
Went into bios, set primary gpu to mobo and igfx to auto. Saved and exit and rebooted. Then i did the 9500kext edit via ihex (also made a backup of the file first), ran kext utility and rebooted.
Switched monitor to vga (my mobo) and saw clover, before pressing enter i removed the vga cable from my mobo, and pressed enter. Switched monitor input to hdmi (rx480) and got the login screen and sierra. Metal is supporter and it seems like ive got accelration. When i open chess for example all looks good (which it didnt before). So it seems to work fine.
My question now is, when i go to display settings osx sees that i have 2 monitors connected (which i dont, got only the one dell). My top bar is on the good screen (flashes red). But now i can move my mouse out of the screen (cause osx thinks ive got 2 displays connected) which i dont like. But when i choose mirror displays, it seems like it uses my mobo gpu or somerhing, cause when i drag a safari window left and right its verry laggy. When i turn of mirror displays and drag the window all is fine.
Is this normal or is there a fix i can do? Im not at home atm so havent run any benchmarks yet.
And are there anymore stepps i can do to increase performance?
EDIT: my goal is to use FCPX for professional edditing, and also using a new ssd for dualboot windows.
Thanks in advance.
