Disabling those services won't do you much good.

That's cool, you can produce on an Air but it won't be good for anything low latency wise the mid 2015 15" is the go to still.. (or newer) they're not that expensive used, but I just couldn't deal with the noise issue of the fans or the throttling of the cpu down to 800mhz or whatever, that's a total no-go for me, so needed to build a custom desktop, which is actually running really good, so I wanna invest in a gpu for it as well, and wait with the offical Mac purchase.

I don't know if it's just me, but more often than not I see people praising AMD and making up excuses for their shitty drivers, rather than people showing so much love for Nvidia.
Nvidia's still way ahead of AMD in terms of graphics, so if anything, I don't see why they shouldn't get receive support considering they keep setting the standard for high-end performance. Of course this could very well change with Ampere and RDNA2, but I doubt it.
 
Well, Macs only ship with AMD GPUs because of Apple and Nvidia being drama queens. Not much we, the consumers, can do about it.

Ya I know, that's why I have a macbook pro 15" and built a desktop specifically to run MacOS on it fried my 5700 same day i got it and never got around to installing MacOS yet so ya, I agree.

interesting
never knew this but good to know
get a 1660 normally, nvidea is better for stable streams
 

I am a sound engineer for live and studio work.
Apple has the most reliability in the music field you should know this.
The only time I see macs break is in the hand of careless classmates in school.
but at the same time I hate apple for there non upgrade ability and their hate for right to repair
 
I think your right because linus had to run amd gpus in his hackintosh build
 

ok when amd pulls out a card normally NVIDIA has a new one that is better
also 1660 will be fine for video encode

yes

If you go through some of the posts on the new builds and planning section, you will see that the rx570 and 580 are regularly recommended for budget GPUs and the 5700xt is regularly recommended over the 2060 super and 2070 super if the user does not need the nvec encoding or raytracing. 
 
I believe the main reason Nvidia is given so much more hype and attention than AMD is because the best Nvidia cards are better than the best AMD cards. Yes the 5700xt has basically the same performance as a 2070 super for the price of a 2060 super, but if you have a bigger budget, there is no AMD equivalent to the 2080 super or 2080ti. Hopefully that will change with the launch of RDNA2 but no one knows for sure.
 
And about the drivers and stability. AMD did have some big driver issues with the launch of RDNA that have (mostly) been solved. However, Nvidia didn’t have that so stability was given to Nvidia at the time of launch which is when the majority of videos about them came out.
 
For streamers, as other have said, rtx voice is absolutely amazing and is likely a reason streamers use rtx cards. While the AMD encoder is almost as good and is definitely good enough, it’s not the best and people who do full time streaming want the absolute best even if it costs a premium.
 
For you, AMD is definitely the right choice because you use a Mac and MacOS only supports AMD GPUs. I dot know if that applies to hackintosh because I am very unfamiliar with that area.

Buy based on the product and what it does for you.
 
NEVER buy a product SOLELY based on the brand

Sometimes Nvidia is best, sometimes AMD is best. I always say there are no good or bad brands on the tech world, only good or bad products. Absolutely avoid brand loyalty.

rx 5000 series has encoder very near of nvidias Nvenc encoder. so for streaming 5700XT isn't a bad choicer at all, as you said.
the truth about the radeon VII is that it gets hot and usesm uch power. it is good card foor editins since it has so much vram, HBM and so much streaming cores.
 
You seem really angry when you typed this. I agree that is is stupid that for example intel pays laptop manufacturers not to use better gpu than rtx 2060 when they have amd cpu.
And it is true that intel/msi/Nvidia pays reviewers to review their products better. But note that there are many reviewers who aren't payed by anyone. like gamers nexus or Hardware unboxed.

Ya no worries, too much of a text wall I get it Only thing I seek is verifiable proof cause by statistics I should go with nvidia but I can't trust the snake Linus and was dead set on AMD till all this driver nonsense started with the navi lineup. (reason being it was Apples choice and thus totally compatible, so since I haven't done a hackintosh before,going AMD would be "easier" I thought...)

The mono does digitally control the power.
The PSU inputs 12V, Mobo VRM controller takes signal from CPU/BIOS to send 1.2-1.4v to CPU.
The Mobo's with the best VRM is the Z390 Extreme on LGA1151, but that costs like 500$ and isn't worth it. The Z390 Master is also good, as is the Z390 Pro. All of these are from gigabyte, which basically holds a monopoly on Z390 VRM designs.

no mention of vrms but maybe a good guideline on the tier list.

So I got the PowerColor Red Dragon 5700 coming in the post in a few day Thx for the help guys, hopefully this was the right call - got it for a great price too
