For what it's worth, ZTP actually might prefer AMD cards on OS X:
<kode54> verdict in from testing
<kode54> if anyone asks what video card to buy for dolphin if they’re sporting a hackintosh, I recommend radeon 7xxx or R9 270X or 280X
<kode54> at least trying to run Twilight Princess GCN, 270X runs it full speed indoors, dungeons, towns, and about 70-80% on the overworld
<kode54> whereas a GTX 670 gets similar performance in the same machine in Windows and Linux, but is bottlenecked horribly running Dolphin on OS X
<kode54> runs some games even better
<kode54> but the drivers perform horribly in that one case
<kode54> never mind that it also has horrid OpenCL performance
<MaJoR1> kode54: that's not really a fair comparison
<kode54> I know
<kode54> but it’s all I’ve got on hand
<MaJoR1> so why the recommendation based on such limited testing?
<MaJoR1> with Mac OSX I would think driver support would be more important (see every OSX issue on the forum ever)
<kode54> they’re gravitating towards AMD again, so I guess it figures that they’re putting some effort into those drivers right now
<kode54> 7xxx support is fairly recent
<kode54> I guess, disregard my recommendation
<kode54> needs more serious testing by someone who cares enough to put weight into buying recommendations
