Stork's Gene Build > ASUS MAXIMUS VIII GENE Z170 - i5-6600K - MSI Vega 56

How does the Nvidia 760 GTX compare to the Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 that's currently in my system? Also, does the motherboard (or the 760 GPU) have the 2 6-pin power connectors needed? Thanks.

I think that it's possible issue with iGPU - maybe some patching needed. Need to do some research and googling

I tested it with iGPU enabled in BIOS and I can confirm that the monitor did not wake after deep sleep. Black screen just like you said so its iGPU issue. It needs to be patched or get RX video card. Personally, RX video card is better with macOS, less headache and you can move it to newer hackintosh motherboard in the future.

I bow down to you! Thank you very much for your time and patience
Awesome! Just need to find a good one.
I see that RX 570 or 580 is natively supported so yes just need to buy some

My Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ supports two monitors using DP cables. The video card have 2 DP, 2 HDMI, 1 DVI.
Sapphire RX 580 Pulse have 2 DP and 2 HDMI.

Something to keep in mind if you plan to have two monitors together. DVI is being phased out in flavor of DP and HDMI.

Found out from someone who had similar situation with iGPU not waking from sleep. He said iGPU wake issue was fixed in 10.15.1 Beta 2.

So you think it's native Catalina issue?

Looks likely. Catalina 10.15.0 is real buggy and many fixes will be done in 10.15.1 and 10.15.2. It's up to you if you want to get AMD card or wait for the fixes.

@remington another question to you - I noticed that you don't use SSDT-i7-6700K.aml for your hack which should be in your EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched folder. Is it that you somehow patched it with another approach?

 

[remington]

I don't notice any difference when using the SSDT or Acpi -> PluginType. It looks like Clover has the i7-6700K specs. If the power management works good with PluginType 'enabled' then SSDT isn't needed. In most cases SSDT is used on legacy motherboards, laptops, new unsupported processors or motherboards (ie, Z390) which Apple doesn't have something that's similar. If all USB ports and PM works then SSDT isn't needed.

What about processors modes/states? I mean do we need to apply the knowledge described here
