Finally got time to fiddle again. It was set to auto, enabled it and it works great now.

I can't find that entry at all, so that's interesting. Also, when I open the app 'MacX Video Converter Pro', it has a toggle/check to enable hardware encoding. It's enabled on my MacBook, not on my hackintosh.

That didn't do much. I followed the opencore guide to set this up, I have different entries, is there something else I can check? I connect my display to the Vega through hdmi atm, thta works fine. I just would like to use the IGPU to accelerate video rendering.

Thanks, in the debug log (Thanks @MuffinCrumbs) I noticed it didn't load, removed it from config and added it back to the config.plist and now it works..‍♂️ Now I'm trying to get the iGPU active for accelerated rendering while using my Radeon to drive the screen. (plaform-id set to 0300923E but...

I have made a similar build (Z390 Aorus Ultra) with OpenCore, but can't get the Ethernet port to be recognized in latest Catalina. It works under Windows. Changed cables, and tried every Ethernet-related kext in the guide, but to no avail. Any tips on where to debug this?

A couple of hours later and doing a lot of work, it is a HUGE difference for me. Everything is snappier. Scrolling in Excel is normal again, youtube playing and going to fullscreen is much better (no hw decoding of course). Swapping betweens apps is fast again. If only we could get HW video...

Well..installed v1.2.5 and what a difference so far! One hour since reboot and it seems lag-free.

You may have a working combination of motherboard and GPU, but it's hard to see, since you have not filled that out in your profile. For most people with a 170 motherboard and pascal GPU, the lag is still there.

Both of you don't seem to be using the hardware that causes the lag, namely Skylake/Coffeelake AND Pascal cards running on 10.13.3

There is no new driver. I think he has completely different setup from most people having issues.. He has sandy bridge, not a z170 or higher mobo, and that makes all the difference. Sandy Bridge has no slowdowns. Most people having issues have SkyLake and Coffee Lake and a Z170/270 mobo. This is...

Not answering your question as I don't know, but have you tried this player to see if you get a different result? https://lhc70000.github.io/iina/ Played some of my heavier files a lot better than VLC below version 3. You could check in VLC if the stuttering is IO bound, maybe your disk can't...

So do you know which version got installed? .104 I guess?

After updating all kexts(lilu etc) I can now only boot in safe mode, or I get a kernel panic on something I can't quite find. See screengrab. Anyone know what this is referring too?
