Success! i5 7500 - ASRock B250M - EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0

Some background information. I work at a research institution, mostly dealing with numerics. Some numerical packages work faster in mac OS, so I wanted to give Hackintosh a try. I am dual-booting with Ubuntu 18.04.

• Followed this great video. Everything went silky smooth.
• Bluetooth dongle worked out of the box. No luck with GPU, Ethernet or sound though.
• Using IntelMausiEthernet and AppleALC solved the problem with ethernet and sound.
• At this point I was only left with GPU. No matter which method I tried the result was either post-boot black screen or notorious "Nvidia Chip Model 8 mb". 36 miserable hours later a light dawned upon me and I decided to unplug one of my monitors. BOOM I got the GPU working. Celebration time yay! Not really. Whenever I wanted to reboot my computer, I had to crawl under my desk like a monkey, unplug one of the monitors, wait until the login screen shows up and then plug the second monitor back. Enabling CSM from BIOS solved the issue. The only modifications I did to config.plist from Morgonaut's video is to enable NvidiaWeb under System Parameters and add darkwake=8 to boot arguments.

Here are some benchmarks.

• Cinebench. For some reason CB thinks my CPU has 2C/4T.

Although Blender and Geekbench results are great, Swift is a bit disappointing. I will try to edit this post when I have more numerical benchmarks.
