I'm dualbooting OSX Monterey & W10 from different drives. There's an RTX 3080 in the main PCIE slot, which as we all know isn't supported in OSX. So I wanted to add a second GPU (a GTX 780 I have lying around), so I can make use of hardware acceleration and actually run Logic Pro at above 3 FPS.
Yet I've ran into a problem. Because of motherboard connectors and a particularly hot-running NVME drive, I can't fit the GTX 780 in any of my other 2 PCIE x16 slots.
What would be the preferable, "hackintosh friendly" way to connect my GTX 780 to my PC, if putting it into one of my other PCIE slots directly isn't an option?
Should I be looking at PCIE riser cards, eGPU enclosures & thunderbolt expansion cards, or something completely else?
My current specs are:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master Rev 1.0
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 10GB
- 2nd GPU I want to add to the system: Nvidia GTX 780 3GB
- RAM: 32GB 4x8
- PSU: 850w EVGA PSU
