Something interesting I have noticed since building my first Hackintosh with a graphics card from NVIDIA is that the drivers for macOS are so poor that my GTX 980Ti doesn't even heat up. Trying to run light games on my system is abismal, and it runs benchmarks like Unigine Heaven well enough (sitting between 50-70 fps with the Extreme preset at 1080p), but the fan hardly moves. I set the curve for my GPU to ramp up pretty quickly, which you can easily hear with the reference cooler, but it is not even audible in macOS. My old R9 380 and RX 480 always performed much better in games and overall in macOS. Even navigating the OS can cause lag and frame tearing with the NVIDIA card. I see why NVIDIA cards are never recommended for a Hackintosh.
