Which graphics card to get?

[chris1705]

Hi,
I recently built my first Hackintosh and its running great. For the beginning I used the on board graphics of my i5 6600k. Now I think about getting a new graphics card. So my question: Which graphics card would you recommend for buying? I thought about getting a GTX 1060 (for price orientation). Mainly purpose: Photo- and Video-editing.
(My build: i5 6600k, Gigabyte GA B250 HD3P, 16 GB RAM)
Thanks in advance for answers. (I hope this isn't a too stupid question too ask)

Currently I believe going with a RX 570 / RX 580 is better than a GTX 1060 when it comes to MacOS. These cards have native support in MacOS High Sierra and Mojave.

Note that Nvidia has not released Mojave web drivers for their graphics cards, which means that a GTX 1060 will not work fully if you want to run Mojave. Web drivers are available for High Sierra.

Curious - do you know if the RX 570 / RX 580 cards support HDMI audio in Mojave?
