Hello fine macx86s!

Quick question, using a Skylake (with iMac17,1) under sierra which will I *likely* find better compatibility with? This is all things being equal just compatibility for now.

* nVidia GTX 980TI (using web drivers)
* AMD RX 480 (id faked to a 460)

I had some issues with my 960 under El Capitan and the sleeping screens. I tried every fix for those and never really got it to work reliably (it'd work and then on next restart it'd be dead again). Performance isn't super important to me right now, I've been reading the AMD threads about how to get it to kinda work and somewhat well.

Thoughts?

Edit: Should this be in http://tonymacx86.com/forums/buying-advice.17/ ?

Thanks for the input!

I ended up grabbing a GTX980Ti and am using it in a 17,1 w/ the fixes outlined on these forums. For anyone else who reads it I've found that only have one monitor is the key to booting success btw!
