Yes, fully working OpenCL and Metal. Metal is up to 50% faster in GeekBench than OpenCL, a much bigger discrepancy than I've seen on my previous GPUs.

I've been using 11.4 on my main machine for 24 hours and no problems noticed so far. Some people are reporting USB problems, so make sure you have a proper USB Map. And I just learned from someone with an I225-V NIC that they're getting KPs as soon as they plug in an ethernet cable.

Best option for any new macOS release on a Hack - especially a beta that's only been out a couple of days - is to do the upgrade first on a secondary SSD/HDD, or at least to make a bootable backup of your working install before updating the main drive. So you can go back if it becomes unusable.

That said, plenty of people are using 11.4 with no problems so chances are it'll be OK for you too.
I have a question. My main is windows as I play lots of games. I do have a seprate ssd which I can test for the mac but how should I start doing it ? Windows is already installed on main ssd. is their a way that I can do things without loosing windows and its data and making it a dual boot system.

below is what I am getting. Whats wrong here ?

Code:
Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "“SharedSupport.dmg” couldn’t be copied to “SharedSupport”." UserInfo={NSSourceFilePathErrorKey=/Applications/Install macOS Big Sur.app/Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg, NSUserStringVariant=(

), NSDestinationFilePath=/Volumes/Install macOS Big Sur 1/Install macOS Big Sur.app/Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg, NSFilePath=/Applications/Install macOS Big Sur.app/Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fa09dcd31c0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=6 "Device not configured"}}The copy of the installer app failed.

Disable or disconnect your Windows SSD before you attempt to install MacOS on your system. That prevents the MacOS installation program from doing anything to your Windows drive.

We wouldn't be here if it was easy ;) Remove all drives besides the SSD you're using/going to use for MacOS. Also, don't use a beta if you want a more stable MacOS system.

What do you want to do? Make a USB stick installer? If so, do you have a other Mac where you can make it on? I suggest, download the MacOS (Big Sur) from the appstore, and after you've formatted your USB stick (named USB and formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), use the following command:

Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction --downloadassets

If you still use the Big Sur beta, then the command should be:

Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction --downloadassets
 
Another thing i would like to recommend is to make sure the USB stick (if that is what you're trying to achieve) is NOT in one of the slots at the front of your PC. Make sure your plugin it in one of the back slots of your pc.

I've seen this message before, and it's sometimes caused by the "disk not ejected properly" when it gets unmounted accidentally.

well that was on my laptop. now I am trying on my desktop at the moment. the issue now I was facing was no internet at the time of installing Catalina in recovery even though the RealTek8111.kext was present :(
 
@Gigamaxx Can you help me ? I have installed `AirportItlwm` as those are the drives available for my MSI MEG X570 Tomahawk WiFi. its showing the wifi but constantly keep disconnecting to the network. I also Installed the `LucyRTL8125Ethernet` which are for RT8125B chipset but the status is always inactive.

I need to install the OS from recovery for which I need Internet. how to solve the issue or resolve this situation. asking you as you also have an AMD based hackintosh...

[UPDATE] found a working way around.



on open terminal
```
ifconfig -m
```

and try change media your system support:

example:

```ifconfig en0 media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex```
