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.

According to GPU Check, the RX570 was able to run games at 1080p and 144 Hz on a 24" ViewSonic XG240R gaming monitor. While not 180Hz, it's comparable. The RX570 has recommended resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160 as well. It seems like it's a solid choice based on your needs and isn't insanely expensive either.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
