I purchased an iPhone XR, marking my return to Apple after some time away, and it feels amazing being part of the ecosystem. After spending some time in the hobbyist scene, I wondered if building a hackintosh is still possible without too much slowdown—especially since performance was better before. My current rig includes an i5 7600K, GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM, 8GB of memory, and the NZXT H440 case. Also, I’m curious about whether modern hackintosh setups are still reliable or if they’re more prone to issues now. Thanks a lot, Xvantok!

I don't think there's any performance loss? at least not for CPU performance, but GPU might be a different story because they're different drivers than in Windows, the difference would be little though Don't know about stability, you can research on that, but your GTX 1060 is not supported in MacOS Mojave (latest one), so you'll be forced to use MacOS High Sierra instead which is still supported by apple, so i don't think you'll be missing out on anything

Typically, Nvidia releases driver updates alongside the newest macOS versions within a few weeks of their launch.

well it's been almost a year and they still haven't released Nvidia Drivers, and I don't think they ever will to be honest, even their new cheese grater Mac Pro is using AMD GPU's, so there's no reason they need to release Nvidia Drivers Edit: just noticed, i'm talking about Apple not Nvidia

Unless users begin expressing frustration after upgrading their Mac Pro with Nvidia GPUs and encountering missing drivers, they may remain indifferent.

It's mostly Apple, not Nvidia. They won't release a new driver unless Apple permits it.

You can achieve a consistent performance boost with the proper equipment. The motherboard plays a key role here—check online if others have used similar hardware before. As noted, Nvidia = !Mojave, consider purchasing an RX 580 8GB used to save on a Windows license if you aim for a dependable solution.

No official drivers exist for NVIDIA hardware on macOS. Apologies for the confusion!
