I'm willing to flash or do some modding. Should I just sell my macpro and build a new hackintosh with good built-in gpu?
I have 3,1 2008 Mac Pro. I recently bought a $250 LG 24" 4k and it is awesome and "retina" like. I bought it mainly for the PS4 pro. I am also using my 2012 macbook air to drive it at 30hz 1080p HiDpi and I love how it is so crisp. I can switch native 4k on the MBA for situations I want more window space no problem. I mainly do lightroom and I have 8 active drives to get my files from.
I have 20" x 30" x 20" PLP it was the rage before, but now I'm moving on and going minimal. My new 24" is so thin and light compared to my old 20" which is almost 3 or 4 times the weight.
I have broken xfx 6870 that I can get an RMA for lifetime warranty, but I don't think this will work.
My questions would be.
- will it drive it 60hz or 30hz? I'm ok either way, I just want to gauge price difference.
- will Lightroom use it for HW acceleration?
- Used or new is fine.
- is it plug and play for El Capitan? (max OS version for 3,1) (i'm willing to flash) 5) should I just buy macbook retina or build a hackintosh that can drive 4k 60hz for $500-$600 used? and sell my mac pro?
