How did you flash the bios ? It didn't let me do it via BIOS/ASUS EZ Flash 2.

Yes I am pretty aware of this. The reports have stated success for Pascal GPUs (including Nvidia GTX 1050Ti) at least in the case of using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. We will need validation for those. What I was not aware and only found yesterday was that there is an issue with the expired...

I am new to Monterey. After my long-running HighSierra Intel Cascade Lake-X + Asus X299 + Nvidia GTX1080Ti hackintosh system died (I am on a "AppleNVMe Assert failed" and "IOConsolueUsers: gIOScreenLockState" loop and can't boot into GUI) and after reading about the recent progress in making...

OK, I made Iris 655 GPU acceleration work on High Sierra. I now have HDMI overscan issues. Editing /var/db/.com.apple.iokit.graphics hasn't worked, I might try going with SwitchResX.

I will save you from pulling your hair and becoming bald :banghead: Just turn on the SD Card in the BIOS (Devices -> On Board Devices -> SD Card : Read/Write) if you had disabled it :) . I read it first here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1163347/slow-ethernet-download-18-04-1-nuc8i7beh...

Is anyone running his NUC8 on High Sierra and willing to share his EFI folder (either Clover or OpenCore) ? I managed to get MacOSX 10.13.6 installed and booted but there are some issues (including iGPU graphics driver not being loaded).

The new Mac Pro is not competing against just machines with Intel motherboards. I guess you have not been complaining about the lack of Nvidia support since Mojave either. People like you just accept anything offered without complain.

Ordinary X299 chipset motherboards have 44 lanes on non-Xeon CPUs. NVME needs 4x anyway.

Which application/hardware ? (we are talking PCI-e lanes, typically for GPUs)

PCI-e 7.0 might come in 6 years or more. PCI-e 4.0 is already here.

@jaymonkey This has nothing to do with performance, maybe used as an excuse - the higher/more exotic/more proprietary/more difficult to find/more overpriced the hardware, the better the margin for profit. Apple has been using Xeons for other products too (where it shouldn't), it's not the first...

This is one of the ugliest pieces of junk I have ever seen. It's not even powerful enough. I am not the PC-idiot who compares apples to oranges and suggest that my Celeron runs Crysis better than a Xeon. Xeons are overpriced, that is Intel's fault/greediness, but it is Apple's fault for forcing...

I went for option 1 since I have a rather expensive Nvidia card and need CUDA.

#2 is not really a choice, unless for some silly reason you don't have a x58/x79/x99/x299 motherboard.

- I am on latest Clover but I still have OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi instead of AptioMemoryFix-64.efi. I had trouble in the past on my system (MacOSX 10.13.6, Asus Rampage V Extreme, i7-5960, NVidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Samsung 970Pro NVME) with AptioMemoryFix-64 (clover not showing or slow, booting...

Shouldn't it be 10.14.0 ?

Update: After reinstalling Clover quite a few times and changing the SATA cables/ports to my SSD the booting problem has been resolved.

I was running Sierra (10.12.6) perfectly on my GA-X58A-UD7 build (with Nvidia GTX 750 Ti), then tried to upgrade directly to High Sierra (10.13.6). It didn't work. Same with another installation (known to work in another platform) after reinstalling latest Clover in legacy mode and transferring...

It's not just for the rich people. It's for the rich people in rich countries. Over the years I have spent multiple times my budget on computers/technology because I am an enthusiast/geek and it is also a hobby besides being needed for work. But I am not going to spend half a year's salary to...

Anyway, I am away from this system for the summer. It might be that the issue is not the motherboard but rather the Xeon CPU (could need patching the DSDT). I will retry after a couple of months.
