Hello,


My first post here, I hope that i did not miss the right forum.


Is it possible to build an Hackintosh with dual boot on two different SSD for mac OS10.11 El Capitan, and Windows 7,

but also with
two different independent graphic cards: Nvidia Quadro K4000 3G only for Mac, and Nvidia GTX 1060 6G only for Windows?


Usage: video editing 1080 to 4K (AVID MC, maybe ADOBE CC) and gaming on Windows, and video editing FCP X and music (Logic and Garage Band) on Mac.

Windows 7 is up and working.

My components:


MB ASUS X99 A-II

Intel I 7 6800K 3,4Ghz

RAM HyperX Savage Black Series 16 Go (2 x 8 Go) - DDR4 2400 MHz Cas 12

Power Seasonic Platinum + 660W

Nvidia Quadro k4000 PNY 3G (PC version) to be used for MacOS

Nvidia GeForce gtx KFA 1060 6G to be used for windows

SSD Samsung M2 950 Pro 256G (Win)

SSD Sandisk Ultra II 250G (Mac)

Case Fractal Design Define 5


Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
 
Hi @bigzed21a ,

In theory and often in practise it is perfectly possible to run two different GPU cards for two different operating systems. If you use an HDMi type switch for swapping monitor connections rather than physically disconnecting from one card to another when moving from one OS to another then this will make life easier.
I recommend disabling Windows drives while you perform the macOS installation and unplug all unnecessary peripherals like printers, external drives etc for the duration of the installation. :thumbup:
