Yes, that should work with no problems.
No, OC 0.8.0 is new enough for the latest Monterey point update. It will work with that.

If you plan on using an AMD GPU with Monterey support, you can also use Macmini7,1. Say you've got an AMD RX560 or 570 graphics card. Delete disable-external-gpu from your config.plist (with PlistEdit Pro) then save it. Shut down, install the card, boot into BIOS, uncheck Enable Legacy Option ROMs. Save changes and boot into macOS.
In my case, would this just mean that I should change to iMac17,1, and I won't have any problems with Monterey? Or is this a recommendation to use Big Sur with an AMD card?The best option is to use iMac15,1 and Big Sur if you want to utilize a full size AMD GPU. I use Big Sur with my RX 570 installed for video editing and it works great. You can also use the iMac17,1 EFI and Monterey and run the iGPU headless to speed up video rendering in iMovie, Final Cut or Premiere Pro.
The 15,1 iMacs used the Haswell i7-4790K in one version so if you have the i7-4790 CPU it's practically a perfect fit for CPU function too. If you must have Monterey and an AMD GPU, then the best option is iMac17,1 which used a Skylake CPU.
In my subjective experience in video editing, I prefer using 15,1 and Big Sur.In my case, would this just mean that I should change to iMac17,1, and I won't have any problems with Monterey? Or is this a recommendation to use Big Sur with an AMD card?
Use whichever one you prefer. For general use you won't notice any difference in performance. The advantage of Monterey is that it get's a year more of support than Big Sur. Once security updates stop, it's best to upgrade to Monterey. That's not happening this year. Big Sur will still get patches at least until macOS 14 Public release next fall. Maybe even longer than that.The part that confuses me is whether or not I should use Big Sur, or Monterey after reading this:

Speaking of upgrading to Monterey, I have a 9020 USFF and an EFI that is up-to-date and just slightly modified after joostiphone's and one I found here (e.g., SIP disabled, iMac 16.1 profile). But when I try to update it from the Apple Store, the installation seems to work, starting at 58 mins. But when it reboots and OpenCore autoselects the Installation drive icon, it just reboots and loops until I intercede.Use whichever one you prefer.

Look at the device properties section of your config.plist. Please post any further questions in a 3080 thread as it's off topic for this thread.Any ideas what I can check to fix it?
