@thesamesons,
Vega GPU's are currently the most powerful Supported GPU's in MacOS ... Either Vega 56 or Vega 64 are a fine choice.
However not all Vega's are made equal especially when it comes to the VBIOS, best to stick with one that is based on the AMD reference design as some of the Gaming O/C variants can be problematic.
If in any doubt get a Sapphire one as they always follow the AMD Reference design.
If the Fans are a issue then use the VGTab utility see this guide for more info :-

@Wolax,
I have Vega 64 running in my i7 4790K Video Editing system (HD 4600 IGPU configured as headless) main use of system is FCPX and it runs great on the Vega, BruceX Test comes it at around 18 seconds, previously I had Nvidia 980 Ti which gave a BruceX Test time of around 41 seconds.
I edit all my videos on the system and have never had any issues with FCPX.
I think the key to making FCPX run well on a Hack is to ensure that the IGPU is enabled and configured as headless as FCPX load balances across the IGPU and dGPU.
Cheers
Jay
Still learning the ropes in my research before my Hackintosh build attempt but this is very useful information -- Thanks!
