Why Nvidia’s upcoming Pascal drivers matter: The Hackintosh

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/hackintosh-build-motherboard.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&strip=all&w=1600&h=1000)</div>
<p>I’m currently in the process of building a new Hackintosh rig for 2017, so imagine how surprised and happy I was to hear that Nvidia is working on beta drivers for its GPUs (https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/06/nvidia-titan-xp-beta-pascal-drivers-mac/) with the latest Pascal architecture. Up until today, I had just settled on being relegated to a Radeon RX 480, or a Maxwell-era Nvidia card.</p>
<p>Not having Pascal drivers for the Mac certainly didn’t diminish the Hackintosh community, but it was significantly limiting in both options and creativity.</p>
<p>With today’s announcement, the Hackintosh just got exponentially more appealing. Nvidia’s announcement is positive for a variety of reasons: there’s the prospect of using an eGPU setup with a MacBook Pro, along with future prospects of Nvidia cards powering future Mac Pro hardware.</p>
<p>But on the immediate horizon, the announcement is most promising for Hackintosh builders. With this in mind, I wanted to share the build that I’m currently working on in this first part of a multi part series. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/06/nvidia-gtx-pascal-drivers-mac-hackintosh/#more-475980" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
