Original Question:
Hi,
i am building a hackintosh with the following components, but unsure which graphics card to use:
Ryzen 3600 CPU
MSI X470 Gaming plus max motherboard
fractal design meshify c case
Ballistix BL2K16G36 3600Mhz DDR4 memory 32gb
Sabrent SSD NVME 1TB
Corsair CX550M PSU
Unfortunately its a bad time to buy graphic cards right now, i found a RX 5500 XT for 250€, but i read that they consume ~200W on average. As i am building a workstation for coding and the some 3d graphics work, maybe the odd gaming. I don't really need a high end graphics card...
Can you recommend any other graphic card which works well with hackintosh and its a bit less power hungry? I was looking at the rx 560 but i think it even uses more power...
thanks
A
