I still think the biggest thing Hackintosh has going for it is storage. Apple charges 3 to 5x the price for SSDs and a Hackintosh's storage is infinitely expandable. Outside of ProRes encoding a Hackintosh still gives you equivalent performance for half the price which is pretty much how its...

For anyone considering the Mac Studio I wouldn't take Apple's benchmarks at face value. They said the M1 Ultra was 40% faster than a 12900K but if the Max benchmarks are anything to go by it will actually be about 10% slower. The same goes with the GPU. They said the Ultra is 80% faster than the...

He said in the presentation the M1 Ultra is the final M1. Going by the connector between the two I think they have to go to M2 for the next level of performance.

They said the M1 Ultra GPU is 80% or 1.8x faster than a W6900X. If the M1 Ultra GPU is twice as fast as the M1 Max it would make its Metal Geekbench score 128,000 but a W6900X has a Metal score of 170,000. Even with better cooling on the desktop version I don't see how the M1 Ultra can be nearly...

After all that the store didn't actually have the motherboard or DDR5 memory in stock (said it would arrive by the end of next week) so I cancelled the order and will be holding off for now.

The ASUS Z690-P does look nice but I've been using a Mini-ITX motherboard with 4 SATA ports for the past year and it's just not enough for me. Just to hear your motherboard is working even with those caveats is enough to seal the deal.

I am thinking about ordering a build with Intel Core i9 12900KF Processor $637 USD MSI Pro Z690-A D5 $257 USD ADATA XPG Lancer DDR5 32GB (2*16GB) 5200MHZ $279 USD The motherboard and RAM are relatively inexpensive. I chose that motherboard as it has 4 M.2 slots and 6 SATA ports. The only other...

I watched that too. I thought him presenting an 11th gen intel processor with integrated graphics as the last Hackintosh was pretty weird in my opinion. Especially when he put a 1TB SSD in the Mac Mini but didn't upgrade to 16GB of ram. Most of his budget for Hackintosh went on the stupid orange...

So is 12900K working with all e-cores activated and hyperthreading? Is AVX-512 disabled in this configuration? For pure performance in macOS is the 12700KF a better option as you get all 8 performance cores so can fully enable hyperthreading and AVX-512? Who wants to run some encoding benchmarks...

I knew this would happen eventually. Same with RX 6600 support. Naysayers can take a walk. Try a 6600 or 6600XT. I have ordered one myself.

So the latest update is the RX 570 was refunded because they didn't have a replacement as it was EOL and I bought a 6800 XT with the credit. I was going to buy the 6900 XT which was on sale for $100 off (so only $200 more than the 6800 XT) but by the time the credit had come through they had...

Do you mean SecureBootModel? I have that disabled already. Thanks for replying though. I have sort of given up now and am waiting for my RX 570 RMA.

My plist

Hi I have a GTX 1070 that I am using as my RX 570 broke and want to keep using OSX so I am trying to run High Sierra. I also don't want to shell out $1800+ for a RX 6800 right now. I have installed it and everything is working except graphics acceleration. I have scoured the internet but...

If you are on Big Sur and stuck on the Apple Logo make sure you set these in config.plist: Disable <key>AppleDebug</key> <false/> <key>ApplePanic</key> <false/> Enable <key>PanicNoKextDump</key> <true/>

Just put the .kext file in the kexts folder that's all you need. The tools folder is for .efi files which are Tools like OpenShell.efi. To boot you don't actually need anything in the OC/Tools folder. Use the latest version of all the files you can. I will update the guide so it links to the...

Malibu or Tahoe

So I went ahead and made a new Big Sur installation on Open Core from scratch with the latest version of open core and the latest versions of the kexts and it is working now. I needed the boot arg agdpmod=pikera and got rid of all other boot args except for alcid=1 as I found the enable above...

You will still need to generate serial number (Step 5). Instructions are included in the zip.
