Here is the hack I’ve done for a friend :
Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4
i7 5930K
32 GB ram
2 GTX 970
Gigabyte GC thunderbolt 2 add-in card
2 Apple Thunderbolt Display
keyboard and bluetooth apple
dongle usb bluetooth
Corsair 860w
Yosemite 10.10.2
This hack is for editing (Final Cut Pro X) and After Effects.
I first tried to install with Clover but I figured out that Clover works only if you have just one GPU. With more, there is a problem of « allocation memory ».
The problem is known from the clover developers so I guess it will be fixed in a few weeks/months.
So I installed, at this point without the thunderbolt card, following these topics :

My post install kext is the same as the one of the first link. My smbios MacPro 3.1.
For audio working, I installed HDAEnabler1.kext with kext wizard. Then, I repaired authorizations, permissions and I rebooted.
And I installed the patched AppleHDA.kext. Then I repaired authorizations, permissions and I rebooted.
Then I plugged the thunderbolt card on the pcie3 slot of the MB.
At boot I got a message in the bios :
« PCI OUT OF RESOURCES »
So let’s go to the thunderbolt page in the bios and change « memory reserved » from « maximum » to « medium ».
After that reboot, and Yosemite is ok but boot very slow.
I deleted AppleThunderboltNHI.kext and the slow boot problem is gone.
The 2 apple thunderbolt displays are recognize on osx (I didn’t needed windows).
Bluetooth works out of the box with the dongle.
What I didn’t test : iMessage, handoff, continuity, wifi, airplay, icloud.
The Mac App Store works.
What is not working :
Sometimes the 2nd Apple thunderbolt display is not recognized at boot, I have to boot again for it works.
The usb, ethernet, firewire ports, micro, webcam of the Apple thunderbolt display don’t work, even with windows.
Benchmarks (I’m a little bit disappointed with the performances ) :
Luxmark OpenCL gpu 4263
cpu and gpu 3995
Geekbench
single core : 2724
multi core : 17451
cinebench
OpenGL 52,13 fps
cpu 1011 cb
BruceX : 50s
