Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Regarding 4 monitors, that is the question we cannot answer until we try. I put the chances of success at less than 20%, however. Yes, less than 20% chance that 4 monitors will work -- and even if they do, you may run into various problems with sleep and wake. Some of those problems could (not 'will') be solved by disabling WhateverGreen.

It is for this reason that the build guide in Post #1 has always had this statement:

I am very happy to report that I had luck connecting 4 monitors (2 x HDMI & 2 x DP) without any workarounds - at all. I simply just followed your amazing guide to the letter and I have not disabled WEG.
Since sleep is disabled, that will not be an eventual issue in my case.

4 Displays connected to a RX 580 on the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D:

Next step will be to test the behavior of splitting the both the HDMI signal and the DP signal.

Hi again,
Maybe I should post somewhere else? let me know if somewhere else is best.
Anyone have ideas where to start troubleshooting an Apple Thunderbolt Display?
worked the first time after trying the Hackindrom, became less stable. So I rolled back to a backup and tried again. Now nothing on the monitor.
any ideas,
thanks

Hello @lazercraft,

It may not be necessary to flash the Thunderbolt controller. Please see this:

Try the disk labeled "Big Sur" (disk4s5). I've never does this myself so it may be better to search the Internet on this one. If you can boot into Recovery (I am told that OC 0.6.1 is able to do this), then the root filesystem should already be read/write or at least much easier to make it r/w.

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work or my syntax is wrong.

There seems to be very little known about Big Sur system file access permissions!

In Big Sur, I think you need csrutil authenticated-root disable first. Did you also give that command?

Yes I tried that.

It doesn’t seem to like the mount syntax!

Have you selected View --> Show all Devices in Disk Utility? If so, what drives do you see listed on the left side bar of Disk Utility? Disk Utility should tell you which one is Windows. If in doubt, take a screenshot or photo of Disk Utility.

I just picked the one with the blue bar cuz I knew I had 2 empty drivers and they were both blue btw Disk Utility didn't mention anything about Windows

Anyways, I managed to make it through! Very fun hackintosh experience! Thank you very much for this!

Not so important for me but, I can't get FaceTime to work, it keeps telling me I need to contact Apple, any fix for this?

After the -uw flag, try using /dev/diskNsM instead of the mount point directory.

Gigabyte is really pushing the Vision series.

I wish Apple and Nvidia would bury their hatchet and we can run an RTX 3080 in our Hackintoshes.

This is one of the cleanest looking GPUs (barring the current FEs) I have ever seen.

You may have seen this already: Radeon RX 6xxx support already seems to exist in macOS Big Sur.

AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPUs revealed in macOS Big Sur code: up to 5120 cores, 2.5 GHz

Listed plainly and clearly within macOS code is the number of compute units each GPU will have: Navi 21 will have 80, Navi 22 will have 40,...

Thanks, that allowed me to mount the disk but not modify any files as follows.
john@Johns-iMac libexec % mv ioupsd ioupsd.ORIG
mv: rename ioupsd to ioupsd.ORIG: Permission denied

Apologies if I'm replying out of turn as I haven't followed every detail, but just in case...

If it's a file permission problem (as opposed to a filesystem read-only problem) maybe you just need to run the command as root:

sudo mv ioupsd ioupsd.ORIG
