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

    Thanks Stefan! I clean installed Big Sur on another HD and Sidecar is smooth as butter. It must be something not Opencore related. Thanks!

    Does anyone have Sidecar working without glitches? When I use SideCar the screen is blocky and pixellated. It makes the connects fine, just looks glitchy and slow frame rate. Even when using a USB cable. This happens with my RX560 and my Vega 56. Same no matter what.

I've installed Big Sur clean on another drive and re-built OpenCore on a USB flash drive and still it just hangs. It...

    Just checking in on Clover vs OpenCore. I'm still on Clover, any reason yet to switch? My system is rock solid.

    Just a heads up. MicroCenter in Cincinnati has open box Z390 Designare motherboards for $134.96. They also have 1 open box i9 9900K for only $407. I don't have anything to do with Microcenter, but that's great prices if anyone is in the Cincy area. I bought my Designare open box from there in...

    I too would love to see what everyone else is getting on benchmarks. We put a lot of work into getting these machines running smoothly, I'd like to know where my rig matches up to everyone one else's. Here is my Geekbench 5.0 and Luxmark scores. GeekBench is what I'd like to see the most. I...

    The lightning cable connecting the magic keyboard to the computer makes it work like a USB keyboard. I do this for a little gaming PC I have that doesn't have bluetooth built-in.

    I tried to update to the newest WhateverGreen, Lilu, and AppleALC but on reboot I just get a black screen. I have a AMD RX 560. I can access the system with screen sharing.

    Thanks for this wonderful thread!!! I was out of the game using a real Mac Pro for the last 2 years but jumped back in because of the Designare board looking like an incredible Mac like board. I was just wondering if most people are using iMac 19,1 or iMac Pro 1,1? I'm using iMac 19,1 because I...
