I'm 99% of the way finished with my "Hackintosh" build but ran into a issue with OS X accepting my 970... despite having the appropriate driver installed.

So allow me to walk you through my process and hopefully you guys could point out where I went wrong.

1. Install VMware

2. Download OS X

3. Run and Set-Up OS X

4. Link Darwin ISO

5. Install VMware Tools (reduces lag)

6. Shutdown OS X and reopened VMware

7. Adjusted settings

  • RAM - Gave 32GB of my 64GB
  • CPU - Gave  4 of my 6 cores
  • Storage - Gave 250GB of my 1TB SSD
  • Enabled 3D Acceleration
    • Set Vram to 2GB of my 4GB 970

8. Ran System

9. Downloaded and Installed NVIDIA Drivers for OS X 10.11.4

10. Shutdown the "Mac" and Reset VMware

11. Results

  • 32GB RAM
  • 4 Cores
  • 89GB (NOT 250GB)
  • 128MB Vram (NOT 2GB)

My end goal is to install FCPX and Garageband, so... Thoughts?
