Hackintosh: AMD or Nvidia for Final Cut Pro X? [Video]

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/the-best-gpu-for-hackintosh.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600&h=900)</div><p>If you’re looking to build a Hackintosh that can serve as a competent Windows gaming rig on the side, then a build powered by an Nvidia GPU is a good choice. In our most recent Hackintosh build (https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/28/building-a-gtx-1080-ti-powered-hackintosh-installing-macos-sierra-step-by-step-video/), we paired an Intel i7 6700k with Nvidia’s fastest gaming GPU, the 1080 Ti.</p>
<p>The results weren’t all that surprising. Performance was good in a macOS environment even when using Nvidia’s beta web drivers (https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/11/nvidia-releases-pascal-web-drivers-mac-os-gtx-10-series-cards/). Performance was a lot better, though, in a Windows environment, where Pascal GPUs can really thrive.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in building a Hackintosh solely for video editing, however, then an Nvidia-powered GPU option might not be the best choice. Sure, Nvidia GPUs with their CUDA cores are generally superior for editing in an Adobe workflow, but if you’re building a Hackintosh machine solely for video editing, chances are you’re interested in running Final Cut Pro X (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/final-cut-pro/id424389933?mt=12&amp;at=11l9Le).</p>
