Working Graphics Cards For Hackintosh [Case Study]

Working Graphics Cards For Hackintosh

As we know that the most of essential hardware part to make installation of macOS system processes on a custom Hackintosh PC run smoothly is the Graphics card. Beside what is the Motherboard brand and CPU model you run with, is it core 2 duo, core i3, i5, i7 or i9 maybe?!.

Without a known compatible working GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) that supported to run the macOS system on non-Apple computers (Hackintosh). You may still run a macOS system. But! you will not be able to enjoy the amazing macOS system in a full experience.

This time, I will share about those working Graphics cards that will work flawlessly without making you busy in the hackintosh installation process. And if you previously follow my guide on how to make Hackintosh bootable USB drive, then it should not make you get too confused with technical stuff ?

If you are a new visitor of this blog, you can found my guide on how to make macOS bootable USB drive for Vanilla Hackintosh. To make from Windows you can found the guid here. To make it from macOS you can found here.

In this post, I’ve made a list of known working GPUs component for the Hackintosh project. Is based on my own experience and from few Hackintosher friends I’ve met on the internet that’s succeeding with their Hackintosh project. And some are by doing a little ‘research’ of course.

My self was using nVidia card which is NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Series and the memory is only 512 MB. And it works just fine to run all apps and the system itself with full acceleration without getting any lag or glitch etc.

So, in this list, you will found graphics cards on a low price too. If you plan to build your new Hackintosh pc or just want to put one on your existing PC.

Take a note! that this is not a complete shout out of working GPU’s. This is just a list that I know my self and it’s proven works for running macOS on Hackintosh PC.

In this case, price won’t matter, because not all cards will works for hackintosh even the price is high in the ‘class.’ you know.

Here, I just ‘try’ to provide things that surely works ?

Okay! here they are;
