I'm on clover and everything seems to be working fine.. Is there any reason for me to insert a DSDT into my bootloader?

Thanks!

A DSDT is used to "fix" particular items not working properly with OS X because legacy BIOS works a bit differently from Apple EFI. Most modern UEFI boards do not need a DSDT at all because OS X is happy with the UEFI. If your system works properly without one, then you obviously do not need one.

Thanks for your reply... One thing I just noticed was that my GPU was show zero VRAM in the profiler. Is that cause for alarm?

System profiler is more cosmetic than anything else and gets its info from the hardware the system recognizes. Obviously it does not recognize your GPU as one that Apple has ever used. As long as QE/CI and acceleration works on your card, then no problems - don't worry about it (unless, of course, you are OCD about everything being "exactly perfect" the way it is on a "Real" Mac :mrgreen: )

OCD is right! You don't know the half of it! haha.

Lucky enough Clover configurator offers a way to fix that.
