Hello all!
I finally have my build put together enough that I'm ready to get the last few things settled. I want to see if I can get a little assistance making sure I have everything set up right!
I have:
Intel Core i9-10900k
AMD Sapphire 6900 XT Reference
2x32GB G.skill RAM
Samsung 970 Evo + 1TB NVMe SSD
MSI Z590i MEG Unify
@Leesureone graciously provided their EFI for setting up the board so that Thunderbolt 4 Hot Plug will work, but I was hoping for a bit more suggestions.
I have it currently set up for iMac20,2 in OpenCore, but I don't have working DRM, which I would like very much. I'd like to use MacPro7,1 as that would get me working DRM.
My questions are, and @Leesureone I would love any input you have, as I noticed from your EFI Folder that you have the same model number, is what would I need to change from my iMac20,2 configuration?
I'm assuming I would need to:
Thank you so very much for all the help! I'm so very close to having this build complete, and I think this is all that I'm missing to get it all neat and tidy.

I'm assuming I would need to:
- Disable iGPU
- Remove the iGPU Framebuffer from config.plist
- As I have a i9-10900k that very closely matches the iMac20,2, will I need CPUFriend since I'm using a different SMBIOS?
- I'm assuming that I would, as the i9-10900k is considerably different than the Xeon processors the Mac Pro uses. Or will macOS still see and give it the proper power management values as it would with the iMac20,2 definition?
- To enable Thunderbolt Hot Plug 4 support, which files will I need to add?
- For this, I see there are some SSDT files, SSDT-TB3HP. Is that all I need to add?
- On that note, I see SSDT-DTPG, SBUS-MCHC, and UIAC. What are these for, if I may ask?
- Will I see any performance loss using the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS? I don't need QuickSync for the work I do, which is why I don't care if it's not functioning. I'd much prefer the MacPro7,1 definition over iMacPro1,1, for cosmetic reasons.
- Will I need to redo my USB Map?
