Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Will this card work in the latest macOS?
Yes, works with Monterey. Any of the AMD Polaris cards work natively but not the XFX brand of RX560. Has an incompatible Vbios that would have to be flashed. Most other new RX 560s and 570s cost well over $300 these days.

@CaseySJ What would be the advantages or disadvantages of using iMac19,1 or iMac20,2?
I have a Vision D with i9-10850K

And can I just change the model or do I also need to change the serial, UUID etc.
 

@CaseySJ

I have BIOS F21b on my board. I need to use the USB-C for Thunderbolt and not USB purposes. Will I still need to revert back to BIOS F5 or F6?
 
It’s a Monterey problem because this port worked properly in Big Sur. Fortunately we can use a USB-C dock or Thunderbolt dock that has an Ethernet port.

I have the Intel I-225v Ethernet port working well for me and Monterey (both ethernet ports working) from the System Information it seems to be revision 0x0002.
My BIOS is F5 (as you described in the initial post)


Bus: PCI
Vendor ID: 0x8086
Device ID: 0x15f3
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1458
Subsystem ID: 0xe000
Revision ID: 0x0002
PCIe Link Speed: 5.0 GT/s
PCIe Link Width: x1
Driver: com.apple.DriverKit-AppleEthernetE1000
BSD Device Name: en1
MAC Address: 18:c0:4d:02:cf:9a
AVB Support: No
 
Late to this tread but I need to know before I buy a supported GPU and a new M.2 drive for my Z490 Vision D will the latest BIOS (F21b) work correct for hackintosh (I need use of the Thunderbolt USB-C ports for music production). If not can I flash to F5 without any ill effects for hackintosh?
Both BIOS F5 and F6 are okay, although F6 may be trickier to find. I've been using BIOS F20 for the past few days with no ill effects other than USB-C devices being unable to connect on Thunderbolt ports. Note that Thunderbolt devices still connect and work properly. Thunderbolt devices also hot plug properly.

The Thunderbolt ports are going to be used for Ethernet via a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter - Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter. The reason for this is because I need to use AVB for a Avid Carbon interface. A few Avid DUC forum members have had success with this set up but the stock Ethernet ports failed at providing AVB and this was their working solution.
Yes this will still work with BIOS F5, F6, and F20. It may work with F21b, but I have no direct experience with that version. AppleVTD will need to be enabled, which is the default when using the latest OpenCore EFI from this thread. We only need to enable VT-d in BIOS.

I've built a few hackintoshes years ago but I used MultiBeast previously and I'm not sure if that process will give me use of Thunderbolt and all available I/O. Also what is the cheapest GPU I buy that will work natively will macOS cause I'm trying not to break the bank.
Any other thoughts are ideals are greatly appreciated.
Regarding GPU, the Intel iGPU can certainly be used and is also the cheapest because it's already there in the CPU as long as you avoid the "F" series processors (i.e. any Intel processor that ends in letter F). As for discrete AMD GPUs, it's just a horrible pricing mess right now so I won't offer any advice that lines the pockets of price gougers.

There are no practical differences between the two, but because you have a Comet Lake processor it would be "nicer" to use iMac20,2. It's okay to just change the system product name without changing serial numbers, but if you've already using iMac19,1 with those serial numbers, it's best to remove that computer from your iCloud account ahead of time.

Using @CaseySJ's opencore configs from HackinDROM app I have thunderbolt ports working with hot plug and also am able to drive a monitor from the IGPU via a displayport connection on my TB3 drive enclosure. To be honest with you, I plugged in the enclosure booted from Catalina and it found the enclosure. I plugged in the enclosure in windows and it went blue screen. :confused: hah!

Using the displayport via the TB3 enclosure the LG ultrawide monitor I'm using will work at 3440x1440 @ 120hz with HDR using only IGPU. If I plug the monitor in the HDMI from the back of the motherboard the monitor only gets 3440x1440 @ 50hz (no HDR).

This only thing that I'm most positive I don't have working is sleep, which I never use. It takes about 20 seconds to boot the machine so if I'm not using it for an extended period I just shutdown.
 
Guys, how can I add my BCM94360NG card to this build? What interface should I buy?
The BCM94360NG is a Key A/E M.2 card. It should be possible to install that directly into this:
One of the photos shows the following, which indicates that no other adapter is needed:
