Can anyone currently running Octane on Yosemite or El Captain tell me if they think it is worth upgrading from Mavericks? I'm on a Hackintosh and my 10.8 install is no longer booting. So I'm wondering, as I try to fix it, if its worthwhile to take this opportunity to just update the entire OS to one of the newer versions? Until this morning I had a nicely behaved system and stayed away from the newer Mac OS's after hearing about some of the caps on the number of GPU's that would work with them.

Right now I only have two GPUs in my system but I am currently refitting things to get my third GPU in there. My understanding is that issues only come into play with 4 cards?

Hi pegot,
I'm currently running on El Capitan and I'm happy with the new version, but I have only one card right now so is better to wait the answer from other users ;)
Anyway, here is a recent discussion about El Capitan and multi GPU:

Thanks for the link bepeg4d. Seems issue in that case is with external GPU's so maybe I don't have to worry. Anyway, got my system back on line and bootable so I have more time to research this.
