I've been puzzeled about this for about a week now ...
Two weeks ago I succesfully build a Hackingtosh with i7 2600K, 16Gb Ram, Gigabyte board and a EVGA GTX570HD SC.
Sadly that gfx isn't that available anymore :'(
A good friend asked me to build a hackingtosh for his film editing work (shoots on a RED ).
The GTX580 is known to work nicely on OSX Lion with a hackingtosh build.
But which one should I use?
currently these are the models I can still buy:
- EVGA GTX 570 Classified (last GTX570 that is still available here)
- Club3D GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 (reference model)
- MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
- MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr III 15D5 Power Edition
And above budget:
- Asus ENGTX580/2DI/1536MD5
- Gainward GeForce GTX 580 3072MB "Phantom"
The multibeast Lion only has a few steps to get GTX5** model running propper but i've heard that a OC model might preset itself with some issues?
Personally / budget wise the MSI GTX580 Power Edition or the EVGA GTX570 Classified would be my best bet ... but i've only build one hackingtosh with an Nvidia so far since at my first hackingtosh I only assisted and that runs a Sapphire AMD HD6850.
