from the post you have just read:

macOS Monterey has no Nvidia support at all. Apple has removed all the Kepler graphics drivers from macOS 12. Plan on buying an AMD card or use your Intel iGPU, HD4600 or newer, with Monterey.

so no, you will have to remove it, use your intel onboard graphics or purchase a compatible AMD card

Hi, trs96. Thanks for your sharing, appreciated.
These all graphic card RX460, RX560 and AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 are fully compatible and native support for macOS Monterey without install any kexts or extra add-on?

You're using these cards for Monterey now?

Anyone else can provide more experience for the Graphic Card/GPU for macOS Monterey?
 
My "Mini-ITX 2" Skylake computer listed below uses a BioStar PowerColor AMD RX 560 graphics card on Monterey version 12.6.3 and works well. My computer case was not large enough for it, though, and I had to cut out the cover to allow its installation. It is the top computer in the upper pic below. That graphics card is adequate for gaming on a 17" display (1280 x 1024) but will be marginal for gaming on a 1920 x 1080 screen. Performance is shown on a 24" 1920 x 1080 monitor in the lower image.

Same computer and setup except monitor is a 17" ASUS (1280 x 1024 pixels), and latest version of Monterey. Notice the higher frame rates:

Thanks all Hackintosh experts for those tips and info about the GPU that native support Monterey.
How about this GPU?
I wish to get RX580 graphic card.

Is the above graphic card support for my mobo and fully native support macOS Monterey to install?
Any suggest or opinion?
Or provide a best GPU for me to choice?

Thanks a lot.
