Need Graphics Card Advice for Hp 8300 SFF

[zeshanch]

Hi, Im new to Hackintosh and Im trying to make my first Hackintosh.
I bought the HP 8300 sff i5 3470 8gb Ram with Intel 2500 Integrated Graphics. Then I tried to install mojave in it. I had some issues but i finally got installed. When I restarted the machine the screen gone completely black.
Searching the problem, find out that 2500 Graphics are not supported, so I just want your advice for the graphics card that is most compatible with this machine.
I dont want to play games and I'm not a gamer. I just want to use the machine for software development.

Thanks in advance, zeshan.

The GT710 GDDR5 version works in mojave as a simple display driver, is inexpensive and fits smaller form factor cases. it also does not require additional power connectors.

Yes, those work with the native drivers in macOS. Nothing to install. Best to use the HDMI output on the card.

I've been running the 2 GB version of that card in an 8300 for 2+ years. Works great for a dual monitor setup.

You could use a GT 710, 730, or 740. These are inexpensive graphics cards that work OOB with Mojave. Just avoid the GDDR5 version of the GT 730

Thank all you guys for the responses.
I have some last questions:
what will be diferrence between the 1gb and the 2gb model card??. What the 2gb model will give you that the 1gb won't??

Can this card handle a 2k monitor or 2 monitor with a 2k resolution??

I don't know what the 1 GB card can do, but my 2 GB GT 710 supports 2560x1600@60 Hz over DVI and 4096x2160@24 Hz over HDMI.

1 more GB of video ram obviously. You can run two monitors with 1GB of video ram, it will still work. The 2GB version just gives you a little more buffer if it's ever needed. If the price is similar go with the 2GB card and call it a day.

What does make a performance difference is the vram speed. DDR5 will perform much faster than DDR3 will. Since you won't be gaming with a GT710 it isn't very significant in the same way having 2GB of ram doesn't make a difference unless you were needing more than a GB of vram to run both monitors.
