I resolved the issue! So just wanted to reply with anyone having the same issue, it turned out all I needed was to just switch SMBios from iMac19,1 to iMacPro1,1 and boom it worked. So seems like somehow my hardware worked with 1,1 after I added an XFX 5600 XT, I am not sure why but hey if you...
Hello everyone,
So I bought a used XFX 5600 XT thicc 2 pro (120 bucks), however after installation of the gpu while loading Mac OS X Big Sur (Latest version) it gets a black screen. I tried so far the following (please note the card works in windows just fine, dual boot):

Everything is working on the Mac side guys! woot! next up just installing windows on the other drive and maybe cleaning up the boot menu and BOOM done! Thank you guys so much for the help!
@rustEswan hey rust, so I finally got the parts and build the PC, please note that for now I convinced my friend to wait buying GPUs and use my extra RX 580 I had lying around until prices are less.
So after installation I have 2 main issues:
1. because I used your EFI (the second one you gave...
Thanks so much for the advice! I sadly cant grab a 6xxx series because my friend wants to run Catalina (no matter what the price) he has some software that doesnt work on Big Sur hence the issue. I also said he doesnt need a good graphic card, a 560 then would be sufficient for premiere, however...
@Jamesbond007 Thanks James, I am already looking into the x299 now have created a pretty safe bet based on the Big Sur x299 forums. Seems that some people have an almost golden build with Asus Prime X299 - A II, the EFI is in the forum and a couple of users have said its very stable.
this is my...
@pieropontra thank you for the answer! I have another question, do you have any recommendation on which m2 nvme drive to use ? was thinking of the 970 EVO or SN850 WD Black. (want to install 2 x 2TB, one for windows other for mac)
Here is my setup so far:
Note that the 3090 will be used for...
so went through this forum and I have posted elsewhere a thread of buying advice, but was really wondering what is the most stable (golden) x299 mobo that works well with 10980X.
Saw a couple here in this forum Asus Prime X299-A II and some Sage/10G boards, I really want a solid board which has...
Was wondering if anyone has thoughts of using a intel 10980XE (18 core) system instead and if thats better ? not sure if there are any mobos supporting 256GB though.
UPDATE:
just looked it up supports 256GB (x299 chipset platform)
Hi everyone,
So I am helping my friend out building this awesome high end PC / Hackintosh and I was looking for best parts. He mainly uses it for premiere pro (6k videos) and photoshop on the mac side, on the Windows side he wants to use it for 3D rendering stuff (Maya etc)
Here is the build I...
Also guys I updated to Big Sur, at first I couldn't boot however after I updated to OpenCore 0.6.3 I was able to enter and everything seemed to be working the same as in Catalina, I would even say its much more responsive.
Just a note on my EFI :
Used post 83, updated to opencore 0.6.3 (debug)...
