#Hackintosh wifi card handoff install

KirkвЂ™s summary of the OS install is spot-on: ItвЂ™s not plug and play, but getting macOS running isnвЂ™t overly difficult, to a point. I wonвЂ™t provide as much detail as did Kirk, but here are the components I used. These cards will easily outperform (in games, at least) anything in any Mac that Apple currently ships. This meant that I could put in a leading-edge video card-one of the GeForce GTX 10 series cards. The key to this project was NvidiaвЂ™s announcement of Pascal drivers for the Mac.

In the end, the simulator is what really drove my desire to build a new Frankenmac: I wanted a machine that could run X-Plane really well, without a screaming loud fan, and hopefully be used as my iMac replacement (at least until the вЂњnew newвЂќ Mac Pro is released). Frame rates can vary from decent to slow, and the iMacвЂ™s fan ramps up nearly as soon as I launch the simulator. My current machine is a late 2014 5K iMac, and while it works well for most tasks, it really suffers when I pursue my avocation: Flying the X-Plane flight simulator. As Kirk was building a relatively low-end Mac clone, and as Apple has ignored the high-end Mac Pro for so many years, I thought itвЂ™d be interesting to build a new high-end Frankenmac. This is a road IвЂ™ve gone down myself, way back in 2008, when I built my Frankenmac. Fellow Macworld contributor Kirk McElhearn recently built a mini Hackintosh that is, a generic PC styled like a Mac mini, on which he installed and ran macOS.
