pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Is that Graphics readout standard, or did you set up a custom plist for it?

That's how it was recognized by Hackintool's PCI section. I exported and used it in config.plist > DeviceProperties > Add.
 
Some AMD RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT users have reported that macOS Monterey 12.3 have adversely impacted GPU performance significantly.

Fortunately, my 6600 XT doesn't seem to have been affected. I posted my Geekbench results from macOS 12.2.1 here and below are my results from macOS 12.3.

Hi, @pastrychef,
These days I am using VideoProc, and I saw that in the options the 'graphics' is N/A.
For any video to convert, the software never uses the GPU.
I have been using the AMD Vega Power Injection for a long time.
VideoProc is fine for showing whether hardware acceleration can work in supported software. It just doesn't use the GPU for its own tasks.
Is it possible to fix this?
In the BIOS settings, no IGPU, only PCIE (MSI Radeon RX Vega 56 Air Boost).

From what I understand, Videoproc usually requires the Intel IGPU to be correctly set both in BIOS and under the PCI root device properties if using the IGPU. Only when the correct dGPU requirements are met ie. dGPU is correctly identified by the OS will it enable the dGPU processing function. So I think the problem is likely stemming from your use of the VGTab. Somehow its settings is interfering with Videoproc's GPU detection. Or possibly a wrong device properties setting for your IGPU. You may have to try to maybe use a different connector value under your IGPU's PCI Root device properties for your AAPL,ig-platform-id, so that the graphics processing is diverted to your dGPU ie. 03 (for computing tasks only), 07 or 00. > https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#deviceproperties

Or you may need just a BIOS flash of your Vega56 card to Vega64 using this guide > https://github.com/sarkrui/Hackintosh-Z390-Aorus-Pro-9700K-RX580
 
Three reboots and approx half hour later...
Hi, pastrychef. After update to macOS 12.3, my device cannot recognize asus c100c AQC107 NIC, did you meet the same problem? Looks like replacing 0F84C002 0000 doesn't work.

Update(fixed):
Here is a new Patch for 12.3
* com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion
* Find: 0F844503 0000
* Replace: 660F1F44 0000

Monterey Update: When my mac reboots after downloading monterey, 5 boot icons are shown (preboot, boot from system, etc.) which do I choose- I have never been clear on this.

Whatever one I chose- the screen came up with the apple logo and it didn't look like anything was happening- have I just been impatient- or should something be happening?

The system should automatically select the update partition. You don't need to choose anything.

Thanks for your help. I am trying different settings with no success.
The BIOS is set to Graphics Configurations PCIe only, IGPU is disabled, and, therefore ,I am looking for solutions for dGPU. The system reveals my GPU, and I also tried deleting all the VGTab from OpenCore, but it doesn't work.
