I’d post this in a hackintosh community, but there’s only 1 that I could find, with 1 user so I don’t think I’ll get much of an answer.

I’m looking at buying a 8GB RX570 to use for a Mac VM, my current 3070 isn’t an option, cause Apple.

Catch is, I use a 3440x1440 monitor, which runs at 180Hz. Would the 570 handle that res and refresh rate? I don’t plan to do much gaming, I have my host OS and a Windows VM for that.

I’m just looking for a smooth experience for basic browsing and video playback on YouTube.

I haven’t had an AMD card since the HD 7970 (I think) so I don’t know how well they perform these days.

If there’s a place for hackintosh discussions on Lemmy, let me know, I couldn’t find it.

    Please consider that KVM could possibly be a limiting factor for such high frequencies.

    I don’t know, but just guessing.

      So far, running windows in KVM does 180Hz no problem with a 3070, if I have to bring it down to 144 its not a problem.

      Right now I’ve got a Big Sure VM and Spice video is terrible, its pretty much unusable.
