LuxMark 3.1 gives 15478, with a Radeon RX580, 36 @ 1366 mhz.

Heaven is a decade old, so I focused on Valley, running the same specs as the prior post, 1920x1080, 8xAA, Ultra:
FPS 47.4
Score: 1985
Min FPS: 28.2
Max FPS: 83.4

System: Darwin 17.6.0 X86_64
CPU Model: I7-8700 @ 3.2
GPU Model: RX580 (256MB) X1

What does the DSDT fix?
 
PCI listings in System Report. Aside from that your EFI (nVidia was what I started with) was perfect.
 
Only thing I haven't gotten working yet is my Apple Watch (login). I know BT works because I can pair with a BT mouse, so something else is wrong. Time to log out of iCloud, log in, and see if that fixes it. :(
 
...and the DSDT may have also cleaned up my audio output listings, because I just noticed (it might be 10.13.5 doing this too) that my speakers output is cleaned up:

1. My AppleTV
2. Digital Out
3. Internal Speakers
4. Line Out
5. Line Out
6. (HDMI) - MyMonitorBrandAndModel

Hmm...maybe this is what I had before. Don't remember the monitor being there.

Sigh. Looks like per http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/10/16/how-to-find-your-macs-bluetooth-version/ that my BT card (a 4360CS2, IIRC, that I got secondhand from Amazon for $20 or so) is LMP Version 4 (which means BT2.1) so ... I can't use it with my Apple watch.

:(

Putting this little thing into the motherboard was a PITA; it has the (even) smaller of the two tiny antenna standards. I don't relish replacing it. We'll see; I suspect I'll manage with this for a while. :(

Agh! Per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206995 I show (Wifi, granted, not BT - but shouldn't Apple have the smarts to figure that out, since it's all one device?) -- "Auto Unlock: Supported" so it _should_ work. Agghh.....
 
Although I read almost everything I can't find anything about an USB lag issue. Since a while I noticed lag every few second it interrupts for half a second and then it continues butter smooth. I disabled all programs loading at start, tried removal of SSDT-USB.aml / rolled back older version USBInjectAll but it doesn't make a difference. I found this already and it seems more people having same issue. https://www.******.com/r/hackintosh/comments/88lsj5/macos_10134_upgrade_mouse_laggingstuttering/
Did I miss it in this thread and is there someone who have possibly a fix for it?

Have you considered the card instillation chef does in post #40 ?

Be careful with using DSDTs made for other computers. Even on real iMacs, there's no PCI-e info. That's purely cosmetic and not needed. It makes even less sense on an ITX motherboard where there's only one PCI-e slot. You should know what video card you have plugged in. If you don't, all the info is in System Information>Graphics/Display. Otherwise, DPCIManager can also provide info on what's in your PCI-e slots.

Anything particular to do with the SSD Samsung 970 EVO NVMe ? Any kext or patch ?

Nothing special needed to be done. Just initialize with Disk Utility.
