[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I tested, and, when I change Depth in this file that I have uploaded, nothing happens. The background does not blur. In the original picture, if it happens, on your computer changes?

i uploaded a video..

Thanks for the help ¡¡¡

Depth works very well as you can see, but Light has very mild effect.

@imcalledandy @CaseySJ

you could try same SSDT by changing "LinkDetails" to "linkDetails" on _DSM NHI0 device

Good catch!!

Yes, I see, but you know why crash me? I did a clean installation of Big Sur, and all work perfectly. This is a new library with few photos...

40 indeed!
Also hot-plug with my BlackMagic Mini recorder is working now. Hard to believe this even impact some of the hot-plug function (20x2 doesn't impact hot-plug of Thunderbolt bridge though).
The Thunderbolt bridge speed is at least 500MB/s when I transfer from my MacBook Pro to the hack.

update: I tried to transfer a 60G file from MBP to the hack with TB bridge. The avg speed is about 900MB/s

@CaseySJ - thank you for the explanation and I can try the TB3 speed as you suggest.

@Elias64Fr that would make sense with my earlier findings!

I took my theory of using a modified version of the Designare Z390 SSDT and it now displays 40GB/s x1 (see attached screenshot) but I get a BIOS boot error upon startup. I go in and exit without saving and then can boot into MacOS. There are some messages relating to Thunderbolt during boot but we get past those and everything seems fine.

So I will try amending the SSDT and report back.

Thank you! We're closing in on the solution!

@oreoapple – I think you may want to take a look at this too...

Ah yes, OpenCore Configurator has been updated once again, so now it only supports 0.6.5 Release and 0.6.6 Development versions. We should set it to 0.6.5 Release.

Anyway, please try the attached EFI folder. Remember to press F12 at the Gigabyte Splash Screen to open the BIOS Boot Menu. Then select the USB install disk from that menu. OpenCore Picker should appear on screen.

If it still fails to appear, please let me know.

For some reason I'm not getting notifications when people response to this thread so I'm just seeing this. Thanks for the EFI folder! I'll give it a try tomorrow and post an update.

Out of curiosity, did you see any issues in the EFI folder I uploaded? I'm always eager to learn what may or may not be working in order to help myself and others in the future.

@CaseySJ Looks like a Titan Ridge?

@CaseySJ My Hack auto updated on a restart from Catalina 10.15.6 to 10.15.7 even though I had updates turned off in system prefs. Anyway, is there anything I should test for or look out for? It booted and is running and sleeps...

Is there any way to exclude EFI disk and Openshell, etc., from boot picker for a clean look? I have Windows 10, Mojave and Big Sur all in separate SSD’s.

Try changing ScanPolicy from 0 to 3841.
To hide Openshell etc, change the value of the Auxiliary field to True/Yes, or if using Opencore Configurator, tick the Auxiliary checkbox.
