[Success] DrEskimo's Hackintosh R4: Core i7-4770K - GA-Z87X-UD4H - 8GB RAM - GTX 770 2GB

Hello friends! Been a good while since I was on here...!
Happy to report that the 2+years since I built this computer, its been running like a dream!

I have come back seeking your advice once again....

I have just purchased a second hand EVGA 980ti Hybrid to upgrade from my MSI 770.
Now....is it a simple case of just swapping out the GPUs, or will I need to do some other bits to get it to work?

Thanks in advance for any guidance

You'll need to install the Nvidia drivers after you install the 980 Ti. You can get the latest Sierra driver for 10.12.3 in tonymacx86's https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...for-macos-sierra-10-12-3-367-15-10-35.213122/

To install the driver, see MyHero build description (link in signature block); skip to after the the MultiBeast configuration in the Installation section.

Thank you Stork. Helpful as always.

I am currently running on 10.10.3 and I am reluctant to upgrade in case it messes with some of my software.

Is the procedure the same, or does it require running on 10.12.2?

Thank in advance
