Is it worth making my computer a hackintosh

So, for a while now I've known that my computer can run a hackintosh OS but, the main drawback is hackintosh does not support 780ti apparently. So, the question is would it be even worth installing a mac os even if I can't use my gpu with it?

 

Btw please correct me if im wrong about the 780ti not working with osx because if thats the case i'll upgrade tonight.

Taran should run for president!

Well you can't game on a Mac in the first place. I wouldn't though, unless you really like Macintosh.

no nononoon lol no. No Gaming on a mac. I just want to have the option to use CUDA cores for faster processing on videos and photos. Since after all a mac is for editing/content creation :P

Well I can't argue with that. I would say only do it if you have a spare GPU lying around that is compatible with Mac. Because honestly, no matter what CPU it is, it's not going to have enough processing power.

Mmm, not really... I see Windows as a more powerful tool even for content creation. Adobe ain't fuckin' around you know. I guess you could install it and if it's not powerful enough without the 780 Ti then just revert back. :)
