for the hackintosh side you need mostly a rx580 because mac side of things usually prefers amd gpus

 

on pc you can use the amd too, but also a nvidia

 

about run two tvs, some gpus have two hdmi outputs, but most come with only one hdmi output, so you might need a displayport to hdmi converter

 

you don't mention specs, in terms of ram, psu, motherboard and case to give you a better recomendation

that's a huge range, and the RX 480 you listed should absolutely not be struggling to run Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox. Can you list the rest of your PC specifications? Also you listed that you have

the size does not matter, are these 4k TVs?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

That’s something I kinda glossed over, that is concerning.

in 4k maybe, but all 3 of those are cpu intensive games, it might be a cpu upgrade that’s needed instead 

Those are both 4k TV's, so I believe a CPU and GPU upgrade may be in order. Obviously, OP needs to give us full system specs.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Sorry didn’t think about that comp spec it’s 

mobo auros ultra

i5 9600k

16gig ddr4 3400

512gig 970 evo plus


yes both TVs are 4K and that’s where the issues start. I know they were more cpu based so that’s why started by upgrading cpu from my old 4series

In 4k I can understand the 480 struggling. 
Pick up a 5700XT, if you can get one cheap the Vega 56 and 64 also have good hackintosh support and would be substantial upgrades. 
 

Idk about the other games but I’m a loser in their 20’s who has been playing Roblox since 2008, you’ll never see over 60fps as it’s physics capped, and it does have Metal API support, though you have to select it in studio to get the game to use it.

They all look about the same price seems like the 5700 has the best benchmarks though. Is there a brand preference? You mention sapphire and I’ve had there cards before and they were nice.

Sapphire tested to be the best thermally and acoustically for a 5700xt. Check out the gamersnexus reviews on those cards.

The XFX THICC is the worst, the Powercolor one is average. 
 

Awesome I’ll check that site but sounds like sapphire it is
