Hi Florian,
Thank you very much for the write up. I'm planning on doing a FCPX build on an mATX board (inside the BitFenix Phenom ) so this is very useful for me! Incidentally, I've also read your post about AMD card compatibility, as I'm trying to learn more about AMD cards and their importance in FCPX work.
If you have time, I'd love to hear your opinion on the following points, which currently have me slightly confused.
If possible, I'd like to work on a 4k monitor, as I'm used to the high ppi on my Macbook Pro Retina. That being said, I've read a lot of different things with regards to 4k output.
It seems that intel 6th generation processors support 4k output through their internal graphics. But, from what I have read, only display port and hdmi 2.0 can handle 4k at 60hz, and I can't find any mATX boards that have 2.0, so one of the boards I am currently looking at is the Asus Maximus VIII Gene, which has a display-port.
However, I've also read that the internal graphics from the Skylake processors are not yet supported in the hackintosh. Does this mean that I would have to do 4k output through the graphics card for the time being? Would I be able to move the cable back to the mobo displayport after 4k output from internal graphics is supported in OSX? This is quite important to me, as I'd like to use the internal graphics to power the display, and use all of the remaining power from the 280x for FCPX (please correct me if this understanding is inherently flawed).
Last but not least, I've also heard that for FCPX to work properly on a hackintosh, internal graphics sometimes have to be disabled, which would make the display port from the mobo irrelevant both now and in the future. Would it be better to go with a relatively cheaper mobo, such as the Gigabyte LGA1151 or the board that you've used in the build, which both don't have a displayports, or bite the bullet and go with the Asus Maximus VIII GENE, which may support 4k output in the near future? Would 4k be too much stress for a single GPU to handle both the monitor and FCPX effectively?
I apologize for the very long and complicated question, and thank you very much for your time.
