I know I could try this on my own, but I wanted to ask here if anyone has any opinions first. After 30 years of using Apple PCs, I gave up on Cupertino and built a hackintosh. I just got it up and running tonight, but I still don't have my GPU. I ordered an Asus GTX 1060 Turbo 6GB, which will arrive tomorrow. After seeing how well my system runs so far on Intel HD 630, I am wondering if I even need the GPU. I will use the hackintosh mostly for office work, but for my business I also use Illustrator a lot, along with Lightroom and Photoshop. My Illustrator work is only for basic scale drawings, pretty much just simple paths with a black stroke, and the occasional very simple logo. Lightroom and Photoshop are used for product photography for work and personal photography, which is very little. When I do use Lightroom and Photoshop, the sessions are intense with long hours, usually many days straight to get a job done. I am still running CS5 on my old MacBook Pro, and I don't have any jobs coming up that I need Lightroom or Photoshop for. So I am holding off starting a trial for CC right now because I will not be able to use it much in the next two weeks, then the trial will be over before I need it. I probably have a couple months before I really need to use any of those applications any more than I can get away with on my old, slow MacBook Pro. So, I now have to decide if I should install the GPU and keep it, or just return it and hope Illustrator, Lightroom and Photoshop will run well when I need them.
I have found some benchmarks online relating to the issue. Unfortunately, I really only found one that has a decent setup with good comparisons of IGPU and GPU. That review is found here.

From his results, you can see that Intel HD 630 competes very well except for smart sharpen. With the little photo editing I do, the extra time really won't cost me much in the scenarios tested. However, what I don't know is how quickly Lightroom will load images with IGPU vs GPU. Does anyone happen to have experience with this setup and have any advice? If I could save the $250 I spent on the GPU, it would be very helpful. Plus, I could possibly save a little money and get something better if I wait. Any advice is welcome...unless you want to tell me not to use a hackintosh. 🙂
