I have a Z77 motherboard and a GTX 1080 on High Sierra, Clover 5119. Thats the last version of Clover that definitely works with my config and because of nonstop work commitments I can't afford to spend time trying to update anything else. It's simply worked for me for the past several years, until tonight when I rebooted and could not use web drivers, as lot of other Nvidia users seem to be noticing.
I need this computer to for work and I can't afford a lot of downtime. I know the 1080 isn't sustainable forever (nor is High Sierra), so either getting a real Mac, switching to Windows, or getting an AMD GPU was in the cards sooner rather than later, but now I'm in time sensitive situation.
So my question is, if my immediate goal is to get the system back up to do my work (3d motion graphics using Cinema 4D), would I be able to buy a Radeon (at whatever premium that is), swap out my 1080, and generally be good to go with some new drivers? I don't want to upgrade Clover or High Sierra just yet, as I need to prioritize minimizing any further downtime.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone's support. I went and ordered a 6800xt on Amazon that should be here Tuesday. In the meantime my Hackintosh is still working fine off the CCC backup (internet connected and everything), but I'm not restarting it until I at least get this week's work done. I'm preparing to tell work I might have to take a few days off so I can switch to the Radeon and to upgrade my OS. Fingers crossed (and fingers crossed this certificate problem is actually temporary)
