Pascal drivers for MacOS coming in a month.
Look at the PCIe bulkhead connector in https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/webdriver-for-gtx-1080-1070.1979778/page-15#post-24501287 - there are like twelve tiny holes for air exhaust in the bulkhead. They had to vent into the case.
As long as the case (any case, and the cheesegrater certainly does) has reasonable front to back airflow - the heat coming sideways out of the GPU will be pushed out the back.
I have some GPUs without fans - they rely solely on the front to back airflow of the system to move air across the heatsinks. (They also don't have any pesky video connectors on the back to interfere with the airflow.)
Can anyone else confirm that they are getting the boot screen with an off-the-shelf pascal card?
This was posted in another thread and caught my eye:

Sierra displays loading screens on any GPU even without a graphics driver loaded.
+1
Look at it like that framebuffer bug El Capitan had, where second half of the loading screen went into one corner of the monitor.
IIRC, it was also showing on non EFI GPUs.

Are you saying I buy GTX 1080 for my mac pro 5.1 and I don't need to flash it to see bootscreen?
No, boot screen and loading screens are not the same thing.
No need to flash if you sell that bulky slow bottlenecked 5,1, then make a Hackintosh or use eGPU with a MBP until Apple reveals what is happening to pro systems.
You just don't realize, SCSoyCapitan.
Every serious Hackintosh is much bulkier than MP5.1. Besides, it's not looked as pretty as a MP tower. As everybody know, nowadays, GPU plays a crucial role in the pro/graphic computing. With MP5.1's nearly 1000W PSU it gives you much more to play around with, Mac or Windows. MBP just can't.
hi all,
i just bought my gtx1080 but i dont get PCI 2 speeds with OpenCL OceanWave benchmark on ( EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING, 08G-P4-6183-KR, 8GB GDDR5X, ACX 3.0 & LED) Can be a bug with OpenCL OceanWave benchmark?
My original 680 mac edition and unflashed GTX970 gives me full PCI-2 speed.
With CUDA-Z i see totally different numbers, which one should i trust? Cuda-Z shows full pci-2 link speed right? am i reading numbers wrong?
What do you guys have for PCI link speed on gtx1080 on cMacPro 5,1?
Can you guys confirm this? first one is GTX-1080 and the second screenshot s from GTX-970. Are you guys getting same link speed? Or should i return my card back? Or should i just trust CUDA-Z and stop to complain'?

Hackintosh is not so good as many people think. Power management never work, OS upgrade is pain... and many other little glitches...
I'm not sure, that your advice is good.
Been there done that.
You're not just a little wrong you're in your own alternative facts land.
[doublepost=1492552226][/doublepost]
That's why I said use it as a temporary solution.
Hackintosh power management might not be perfect on some configs but power consumption will make cMP look like a clunky inefficient climate killing piece of crap. Because that's the best way to describe qn old machine in 2017.
I'd still go for the MBP paired with a Mantiz case. You have a modern laptop connected to eGPU, storage and modern IO.
LOL, SCSoyCaptan...
Please help yourself stop whining at people who has more lands than you have.
By the way, enjoy your external eGpu box along with the RMBP.
Back to the topic.
It looks like luxmark bench ranking is Titan Xp > Titan X pascal> 1080ti > Titan X maxwell > 1080..

Hi Prince134!
Did you solve that problem?
In my cace, my RX290X's Brucex score was 20 seconds in El Capitan.
at that time it was miracle to me.
And after moving to Sierra 50 second!
after knowing that's not the Metal support problem, i deleted all the FCP trace with AppCleaner and manually, and install FCPX agin.
and NOW my score IS 19 seconds!

I get the very end of the loading screen with my GTX 1060, like, less than a second before it fades to the login screen.

Wow.
This is my first time see the performance hope for the later Sierra. But also my first time heard of a clean install of FCPX in Sierra can bring the performance back to the level of El Capitan. A single D700 (your 290x) can do 19 seconds I'd say my 7970 should be close. From what you mentioned it can be issue just because I migrate the apps every time I upgrade OS. I doubt if your benefit is because of D700 ( I hope it's not, since I have Titan X, and I want to see that 20 second again). Can you tell me what version is your FCP, latest 10.3.3? are you in 10.12.4? It would be great if we can have your test with Nvidia cards if you have.
290X is much stronger than 7970.
D700 is a downclocked 7970 (same device ID as the 280X, NOT 290X).
That might apply when installing macOS on unsupported hardware (e.g. AMD or X99), but it's certainly not true for consumer level Intel hardware.
Power management works natively, including speed step, turbo boost and sleep. Experience could be different when installing a dubious Hackintosh distro, which everyone should avoid.
Yeah, I've seen quite a few reports about their Hackintosh work just like the native Mac (with better performance, of course). I think it's all about if pick the right hardware at the beginning.
I browsed tonymacx86 forum and findout that almost all builds have sleep issues (on recommended Gigabyte Z170)
