在此之前显卡曾入了老黄家GTX1080,Mac OS 10.12中最高只能实现4K分辨率,并且LG Ultrafine 5K与之兼容性很差折腾很长时间经常4K都会黑屏,5K就从来没有成功驱动过。下代iMac Pro使用的AMD VEGA显卡,短期内N卡在Mac下不可能翻身,虽然GTX1080与VEGA64性能上半斤八两但前者能耗比占尽优势,最近还是果断撤N入A——要实现5K显示,目前只有A卡,N卡最高到4K。
BIOS设置如下(拷贝至tonymacx86):
After POST beep, press/hold DEL key to enter UEFI/BIOS
Save & Exit menu - choose Load Optimized Defaults.
MIT > Advanced Frequency Settings > Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P) - choose Profile 1
BIOS
Full Screen LOGO Show - I disable this, but not really required
Boot Option Priorities - set this to the UEFI option for your UB flash drive. Disable all other choices. Once we run MultiBeast, we’ll come back in here and set to your new boot drive (in my case, the UEFI partition of Samsung 960PRO).
CSM Support - Disable. Note that the Storage Boot Option Control option which is set to UEFI (desired setting) disappears along with the other 3 options under CSM Support when you set to Disable. Don’t worry, as Storage Boot Option Control apparently stays set to UEFI “under the hood.”
Peripherals
Initial Display Output - mobo should auto-detect your GPU card, so this should already show PCIe 1 Slot. You shouldn’t have to do installation using internal GPU, then switch to your GPU card.
Peripherals > LEDs in sleep, Hibernation, and Soft Off States: OFF [this is optional if you don't want LEDs on 24/7, even in power-off state).
USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-off - set to Enable
Note: Once Thunderbolt3 AIC is connected, a new dynamic menu option for configuring the Alpine Ridge card appears below the USB DAC option (which lets you set options for USB charging on the appropriate ports).
Chipset
VT-D - Disabled
Internal Graphics - Disabled (this also turns off the DVMT menu options).
Wake on LAN Enable - Disable
Power
ErP - Enabled [UPDATE 25Mar2018] - This is now required to help fix issue where mobo on-board LEDs do not power off when in sleep/shutdown mode.
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN - (optional) I set this to Delay 4 Sec.
Save & Exit - Choose Save & Exit Setup - this saves your changes and reboots your system.
