The Console is where error messages are sent Applications->Utilities->Console.
New issue - I've been running my R9 280x with no issues in FCPX 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 for the last year. I just updated to 10.3 and the app opens without issue, but as soon as I try to open a library (either an existing one that was updated for 10.3, or a brand new one I created in 10.3) the app crashes instantly. Today I tried removing the graphics card, and that fixed it. FCPX 10.3 runs just fine.
Any thoughts on this?

10.11.4 is minimum spec for FCPX 10.3:

There are other log files in the console as well. Look on the left hand side.Got it, thanks. I just took a look and there is so much to look through.
MacOS error: -67062 is the only thing that looks relevant to me, but if you have anything else to suggest looking into I'd appreciate it.
Yes, thanks. I'm on 10.12.1
I've been planning on building a Hackintosh for a while now, primarily for Final Cut Pro. However, when running Windows 10, I still want to have great gaming performance. So:
1... Is it possible to run an AMD GPU with Mac OS and a GTX GPU while in windows (obviously independent of each other, but installed at the same time)? I dont wanna have to change my GPU every time I pull up a game. I want the best performance possible with Final Cut and it has already been established that AMD is the way to go. And, in my opinion at least, NVIDIA is the way to go for gaming.
2... As far as the AMD GPUs go, would I be better off with a XFX Radeon RX 480 8GB for $245 or dual XFX Radeon RX 460 4GB for pretty much the exact same price? Or another set up that is better?
Any and all suggestions are awesome. Here is what I have planned for the build so far:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.0 GHz (overclocked to 4.5 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 Liquid Cooler
Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Ranger
Ram: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage: WD 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (possibly and SSD later)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 watt 80+ Gold (depends on dual GPUs)
Case: Fractal Design Define C
I have heard that the mobo I chose works oob with no compatibility issues whatsoever.
Thanks a bunch
1. Don't mix cards. You don't have the granularity in either Windows nor Mac OS X to choose which graphics card you use. Choose one or the other. I have no problems gaming in BF4 with 280X cards at high res.
3. Overclocking is (IMHO) completely pointless and a waste of time. You are adding an extra 12% speed for some of the time when your Mac MAY (or MAY NOT) be running flat out. 99% (or more) of the time your Mac is sitting there waiting for your input. The most effective upgrade you can possibly do is work yourself faster. For the few occasions when you actually run the CPU to the maximum AND on all X cores you will get a slight advantage. However you then have the disadvantage of getting the RAM working, extra cooling, worrying if you are going to lose all your data because you overclocked in the wrong way. It will take you longer to overclock than any saving in time you will gain.
5. Is your RAM explicitly specified for working in this motherboard and CPU? By explicitly I mean its listed on the manufacturers website and the SKU is the same for every single digit and letter. Never, ever assume your RAM will work unless you check yourself. Do not believe anybody unless you check it yourself (and then check again).
If you want to work the system harder, go to bed early, exercise more, eat healthily and spend more time at the computer.
Crossfire and/or SLI do not work in OS X. Leave the connectors on for Windows but they will make no difference in OS X.
nVidia cards are getting far better for FCPX. Never used them so can't comment. They may (or may not) be a better option for you if you game a lot.
