1070 or RX580 for Blender 2.8?

I've had this hackintosh going for about 2 years and I'm tired of waiting for the nvidia mojave drivers so I'm thinking about getting a Sapphire RX 580. I do modeling, animating, and drawing in Blender and have been using Blender 2.8 mostly lately.

I've heard that eevee and Cycles renders crash with AMD GPUs because apple is not supporting OpenCL.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is using an RX 580 hackintosh with Blender 2.8 and if they're having any issues. I wasn't sure if I should post this in r/blender but I figured fewer of them would be using hackintoshes than there might be blender uses here.

This is what I've got now.

Part My Part
CPU i7 6700K 4.00 GHz
GPU Gigabyte GTX 1070
MOBO MSI Z170A
PSU Seasonic G Series 550W
RAM 32 GB 3000 MHz (4x8GB Corsair sticks)

I'm running 3 monitors right now, a 4k, a 1080p, and a 16inch Wacom which is 4k. I really want to be able to update my computer so I might get the RX 580 and find a way to build a render farm.
