Quick Hackintosh Compatibility Question

Hey LTT, quick question regarding hackintosh hardware. I was looking at this GTX 780 Classified, and I was wondering if I could use it for hackintoshing. Anyone know if it's compatible out of the box, or if I could flash it? Also since its dual BIOS, does that mean I could flash one BIOS to be a "Mac" bios, and the other to be a PC BIOS, and then I could switch between performance and compatibility when I needed? 

| CPU: i7 4770k 4.3GHz | MOBO: GIGABYTE Z87 HD3 | RAM: 8GB A-Data XPG V1 | GPU: EVGA GTX 780 FTW | PSU: Corsair CS750M | Storage: A-Data SP900 256GB SSD+WD Black 3TB+Hitachi 250GB HDD | Cooling: Corsair H100i | Networking: Rosewill N900 PCE WiFi Adapter | OS: Windows 10 Pro+Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite | Case: NZXT H440 |

Yes. you may have to download drivers, but the 700 series from Nvidia should be working out of the box.

I remember hearing something about OpenCL not working. May have gotten fixed though. http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php best place for hackintosh info.

 

Edit: Looks like you need alternate drivers for anything over the 770 http://www.tonymacx86.com/420-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2014.html#gfx_cards
