Got it! Thanks Jay for the explanation.

Thanks Jay for the info. I did come across that info but found that using MacPro or iMacPro SMBIOS breaks sidecar and sleep on my OptiPlex 9020. I'm using trs96's guide for my hackintosh and he has done a ton of R&D and continues to keep things updated, and the best SMBIOS he recommends for...

Saw your post tech1eguy so updating my message from above. I actually couldn't get it all working. I was using an AMD card with SMBIOS 15,1 and it's a hit and miss. Apple TV will work with one setting but then Amazon Prime wouldn't and vice versa. I don't think there is a real fix out...

Thanks man! I do plan to stick with BS, so I’ll go back to the NVS. Appreciate all the advice and help.

Yea that seems like the right thing to do. Do you think I should keep the WX 4100 or go back to the NVS 510?

An update. I tried multiple settings for unfairgva - 1, 7, 5 I also set the defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -boolean yes Apple TV works, but not all of Amazon prime videos work. So, it doesn't look like all is well. It's still a hit and miss when it comes to DRM.

Understood. Yeah I guess take the good with the bad. I did disable Legacy Options ROM. Appreciate the fast reply! I will research and post back if I find something.

Well…. Sleep doesn’t work. Waking up to a black screen….. Any ideas? I’ll do some research as well.

Westsurf, see my post and try it out with an AMD card and see if that helps!

Oh boy! Thanks for correcting me. I had no idea there was a musical instrument called Viola. Thank you! The problem is all the research was after the fact - lol. Then I started to scramble cuz I was worried I have a $250 worthless gpu on my hands. I thought that swapping Nvidia card with...

MacInTheNet, See my post above. Also, see this thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-dell-optimac-big-sur-opencore-thread-for-7020-9020-optiplex-desktops.302383/page-60 Hope this helps you to get it working.

LisaAlterEgo, This worked for me as well. I am using the Optiplex 9020 running latest version of Big Sur. Using trs96 excellent build notes, had everything working. I was using NVS 510 and Apple TV wasn't working. So I splurged and bought a AMD WX 4100. And then I tried your suggestion...

Hi try, here is what I did. I tried shikigva in the bootargs set to 80. Rebooted, reset NVRAM, and tried Apple TV - No Dice. Then I did some more looking on this forum and google search, I found a thread that mentioned that shikigva doesn't work with BigSur and OC - it gets ignored...

Hey Trs96, So, remember I had an itch to get Apple TV working. :) I splurged and bought a WX 4100 off eBay and replaced the NVS 510. The BIOS picked it up, and the machine booted fine. However, Apple TV still doesn't work. I get a screen flash and then it goes away. Prime works as...

Hi again. Removed device from iCloud, re-generated the serials, etc using OC-Gen-X and updated config. Now it shows as Mid 2015 iMac VDA Decoder is Fully Supported. Apple TV is broke - still only flashes the window and then dies. 1. Amazon Prime video works. 2. Sleep works too...
