Administrators Hervé Posted November 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2018 Last updated: 15 Jun 2024 We occasionally get questions about compatible graphics cards, so these articles should be useful for Hackintoshing purposes: 1) Best budget (under $50) graphics cards in 2024 Some of those cards are compatible with macOS up to High Sierra. Only a handful support Metal and Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur, i.e. Kepler architecture for nVidia (e.g.: GeForce GT 710) and GCN1.0 architecture for AMD (e.g.: AMD R5 240). And remember that, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. 2) Best low-profile single-slot graphics cards for Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs in 2024 All those cards are compatible with late versions of OS X/recent versions of macOS. Afaik, all meet the minimum requirements for Metal but caution with nVidia cards since Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur only support Kepler models and, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. 3) Best 1080p gaming graphics cards under $150 Those are good and reasonably priced cards, compatible with late versions of OS X/recent versions of macOS. Some do not need dedicated power supplies and will draw power from the PCIe bus. Afaik, all meet the minimum requirements for Metal but, again, caution with nVidia cards in Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur since those only support Kepler models and, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. The site offers other "best graphics cards..." articles like "under $100", "under $200", etc. All available through a basic search. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
