Hi there!
Building a dual-boot Mac/PC Hackintosh. Windows side for gaming, Mac side for video editing in FCPX.
For graphics cards, multiple questions:
1. Will dual AMD 5570s really outperform a GTX 980ti in FCPX due to open CL compatibility? If so, by what margin? Enough to really notice?
2. Will the 980ti's FCPX performance suffer mostly just in export render times, or also in editing "snappiness"? I'm not super concerned about export times, (I don't mind taking a 10 minute break) mostly just want the editing to be really snappy and not laggy.
3. Can I buy a 980ti and two 5770s and install them in one Hackintosh? Then run my 5770s on the Mac side for video editing with drivers for the 980ti not even installed, then change inputs on my monitor and run the 980ti in Windows for gaming? Will having nVidia and AMD cards plugged into the same computer cause a meltdown on either the Mac or Windows side?
4. I'm pretty sure having 3 graphics cards installed will bring all of my cards down to PCIe Gen 3 x4 instead of x8 or x16. Will there be any bottlenecking on my 980ti on the Windows side running at Gen 3 x4?
Other components in this build:
Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
i7 6700K
EVGA Supernova 850G2 - is this enough power for a 980ti and two 5770s?
Samsung 850 Evo SSDs
Thanks for all the help.
