High Sierra is booting but hangs on the second short boot window ..

I made some changes , now I can see the window with language selection, but a few seconds later the system freezes..maybe it´s the video that apple starts at the beginning, I have no graphic card support for 7870, the card runs in simple mode, could this cause a crash ?

I would buy one that also works with Mojave and Catalina if you ever plan on upgrading to either of those.

Preamble for those new to Nvidia graphics card choices for a Hackintosh 1. You will only have success choosing macOS compatible graphics if you remember that: macOS is not Windows 2. Apple incorporates all their graphics drivers into the Mac Operating System. There are only drivers in macOS...

Would you recommend a special Nvidia card ?

If you just need basic graphics like the iGPU from Intel, get this GT 710. Has HDMI output if that's what your monitor has.

Thank you, I have a 30 zoll display with high resolution 2500x 1850 or like this the display has a dvi connector,
but I think this card can do the resolution ?

I don´t need a fast card cause I will use it for audio editing

I've used one at 4K/30Hz so I'd think that will work. I used HDMI but not DVI.

Hello guys, no I can boot into High Sierra, Usb working, Network ok, Audio ok, hard disks are orange ,
but the bad thing is the Radeon 7870 has no Kext loaded, no metal , only 7MB Video ram are recognised,
whatever green and lily doesn't´t work cause my board has no uefi bios, does anyone has a idea what I could do?
I´ve heard about a ssdt file for the graphics but I don´t know how to so something like that...?
