I used to work on a hackintosh, the support is impressive on tonymacx86.
<a href="https://www.tonymacx86.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tonymacx86.com/</a><p>ReHabMan is just amazing. It's even easy to get started with all the tutorials. Indeed, the problem I was getting was with nvidia support, mini-display port, multi display in general, video drivers, hybrid video (integrated + discrete card), etc. Everything else was working a bit too well.<p>It's sad that this is not legit, the community is really awesome. At least this nvidia move with drivers is a good news for the users in general I suppose.<p>I personally worked on windows back in the days, discovered MacOS, moved to ubuntu, hated all the PPAs, missed the tools I had on mac so gave hackintosh a try, wasn't legit and had lots of troubles with nvidia, moved to arch linux, struggled with lack of nvidia support too (ironic isn't it?) but turned out to work a bit better on Fedora (maybe because I got better with X11, wayland and configs in general) Then someone left at the office and I got his macbook so I moved back to MacOS (my dotfiles are now compatible on all main os and I automated my setup...). I don't think I'll switch again for a while (time consuming, it's a long trip), but this news is really tempting to move back to hackintosh. I have to admit it though, I really enjoyed Fedora :P
This is great. The usual emphatic declarations of listening and caring about customers rings more hollow with every Apple press event that I watch.<p>Things are messed up when they let a product cycle lapse for 4 years (i.e. Mac Pro) while leaving everyone in the dark the entire time.
Nvidia has supported installing their latest cards into old Mac Pros for years now with their web driver. Nothing new. They still have no support for Apple EFI in these cards (meaning the cards have no video output during boot and install of OS updates, making them incredibly inconvenient to use in day to day work).
If Apple now respond with locking out Hackintosh users in any upcoming MacOS update...<p>Then they'll probably do Microsoft a huge favour in persuading a lot of MacOS users to finally go Windows.<p>I'd expect my current Hackintosh would last me 3-4 years now that it runs with a 1080 Ti.
Once the Pascal drivers come out, no spec upgrade from Apple to the Mac Pro lineup will pull people back from making their own Hackintoshes with 1060/80(Ti) & going nuts with rendering or machine learning applications!<p>Cheaper hardware with top of the line specs, upgradeability & compatibility with Windoze, *NIX & macOS.
NVIDIA has been "casually" helping out Hackintosh users with driver updates for their cards that aren't realistically used anywhere else for a while now (nobody has that pre-"trashcan" Mac Pro with the swappable PCI Express GPU slot anymore).
Couldn't this just be aimed for GPU Docks (mainly for laptops)?<p>Or Apple doesn't support such devices?<p>Edit: Well it seems that's not straight forward... but maybe NVIDIA is playing ahead of the curve with TB3 on MBPro 2016 : <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/12/01/the-thunderbolt-3-equipped-macbook-pro-can-use-external-gpus----but-at-a-cost" rel="nofollow">http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/12/01/the-thunderbolt-3-...</a>
I'm still not sure whether this is Nvidia "playing ball" with Apple, or whether this is Nvidia saying to Apple customers "Hey Apple guys, we love you now! Please don't go with AMD!"
