[Problem] No GPU Accelerated Thunderbolt Support? (Z77MX-D3H TH)

[zathrax]

I have just bought a "hackintosh" setup, with parts i figured would work..
However, i cannot get picture out the Thunderbolt port when i use the GFX card.

I havent yet installed OSX (just getting everything to work first)

Parts:
Z77MX-G3H TH
16GB RAM
Gainward GTX 670 2GB
Apple Cinema Display 27"

Tryed:
Without graphic card (works)
Several bios setups, (every combination of PEG / IGFX http://imgur.com/a/nlEsd#0) Not 100% my bios but.. (never works with gfx card)



What works:
intel HD4000 to thunderbolt (with gfx card ON but not doing anything (10fps in game were 60+++ with gfx card)
Gtx 670 to HDMI, DVI etc (but not thunderbolt)

What fails:
GPU accelerated graphics trough the


Any tips? Im sorry if it looks messy or if i forgot anything, im just getting very desperate, it seems everyone that has my setup (ACD27" got it working without any hazzle)
I can buy a graphiccard with mini displayport, but i want a powerfull one that im sure that works with OSX.....
No nvidia card at my dealer has one with mini displayport!

You can't use the Thunderbolt port for a separate graphic card in OSX.
This works only in Windows with VirtuMVP software.
Under OSX the Thunderbolt ports are only for the HD4000 graphic included in the cpu.

Don't need any adapter. Just plug the mini dp plug from the cinema display into the Thunderbolt port.

You graphic card has a Displayport. Why you don't connect your screen there ?

Waiting on the displayport (male) to mini displayport (female) and i guess it works, but are there no support for the AMD 7870 cards etc?

No, since there is no Apple product with an AMD 7xxx card. All the newer Macs use NVidia.

Khe91 is right, you could dual boot and use a Dgpu for games under Windows with dual boot. Or wait for an update from Apple to use both iGPU and dgpu. I use mountain lion for web development and Windows for games.

Not sure I correctly get what you're saying so I'm posting just to be sure.

I have a Z77-UP5-TH with an Apple Thunderbolt Display connected on it. If I buy for example a GTX 660 TI or 670 I'll be able to use this card for games on Windows using dual boot right ? And this because of a software called VirtuMVP ?

Sorry for the trouble but I just want to be totally sure before buying such a card...

Thanks in advance for you help.
