Get an RTX GPU, I want to see people suffer as
they slowly realize that they don't even have
support in High Sierra. Let the Nvidia fans die a
slow and painful death, let this be a reminder to
never cross our lord and savior Tim Apple If you
don't want a headache, stay away from all Nvidia
GPUs that aren't Kepler based. Currently(and likely
forever), Turing and Volta GPUs have no support
whatsoever in any version of macOS while Pascal
and Maxwell have their support stopping in High
Sierra while also requiring Web Drivers so they're
not native GPUs(this is important because that
means another point of failure)
B-b-but are the drivers out yet?
For GPUs we recommend, check out the GPU
Buyers Guide And for those who are running
unsupported GPUs, there's still hope for you! With
our patent pending How to disable your
unsupported GPU for macOS Guide , even a
simpleton like you can experience the glories of
Mojave and beyond!
Are there any GPU board partners I should avoid
when buying a GPU?
Why I'm glad you asked, most manufactures
actually have a pretty good track record with
Hackintoshes but there's 2 specific brands to avoid.
While it is possible to install with these GPUs, there
still is a high possibility of issues arising like
instability and black screens:
XFX(may work with CSM/legacy mode turned off,
make sure it's in UEFI mode)
PowerColor
MSI(Navi specifically, Vega and Polaris are fine)
Note: AMD Navi support is still quite finicky, with
WhateverGreen not being updated yet
Recommendations
So our overall recommendation for GPUs:
Newer AMD GPUs:
Polaris 10 and 20(RX 4XX, 5XX)
Vega 10 and 20(RX Vega 56, 64 and
VII)
Navi 10(RX 5XXX)
Overall brand recommendations:
Sapphire
Asus
Gigabyte
