Nice result !
Yes SMBIOS MacPro 7,1 seems much better.

I'm very happy and your workspace with yours 3 27 inch Apple monitors is impressive, I see you have the blackmagic mini 4k : it is the URSA I mean ?

So you have everything in your hands to do your job and enjoy !

As i sugested before in a post, did you adjust you CPU settings in bios as per as the guide :
Try to adjust your CPU in bios like this ;
i.) "ASUS MultiCore Enhancement" set to "Auto"
ii.) "CPU Core Ratio" set to "Sync All Cores"
iii.) "AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset" set to "3"
iv.) "AVX-512 Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset" set to "2"

Thanks a lot for your help, @Loloflatsix you're a hero!

All of the Bios points I-IV are adjusted accordingly as per your listing.
If there's anything you can think of adjusting the GPU better to hit better scores please let me know.

The 2 monitors are 27 Apple Cinema display's, the monitor on the right is a 4k - 27inch Liliput multi-input with SDI, HDMI etc, can do amazing things like quad split for on set as well and it comes with a silver heavy-duty case and V Lock mount.

The Blackmagic is a mini-monitor 4k with HDMI and SDI output only. I Always like having an SDI link, hopefully Avid will be supported for Catalina soon as well :))
 
Wanted to thank everyone for their help with that last issue. Phew no clue what happened, but I resolved it.

Changed my thumb drive, re-installed Catalina from scratch on it. Re-copied my EFI folder to the EFI section on it. Not sure if I had something faulty or what. But installed within 10 mins after.

My only last remaining issue (that I see) is I don't have sleep now with the RX580. I even used the SSDT posted above (which I thought resolved sleep). I oddly enough had sleep using the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS, not with the iMacPro1,1

I'm using the latest version of OC and all updated kexts on a vanilla solution. So in case anyone wants to dabble with my EFI, I'll be happy to upload it (once it's fully finalized) for others to use.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would provide your Bios settings, I have the same motherboard as you and I am not getting past the boot picker. I'm using 0.5.6 Open Core.
 
I am using BIOS v. 2002, should I go back to an earlier version?

Unfortunately I can't PM .. but does anyone have a working OC EFI for Asus x299 Deluxe/9980xe or 10980xe ?

Spent nearly two days trying to get this to work and now stuck on the famous apfs_module_start even though have tried multiple generated and standard ECs.
