Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

[Armoured]

So a question, now that I've had this system stable and even upgraded its nvme drive, the urge to Mess With It has risen its ugly had.
A video card has been acquired (note the passive voice, classic absolution from responsibility). I have always run this particular hackintosh off the igpu. It seems to be a compatible model, msi Armor RX570.
I am aware of how to physically install it, properly (have done this before). I am not 100% certain how to modify anything else on this hackintosh to run it.
Reading docs here, can it really be as simple as switching the bios to prefer it at boot? I mean, it seems that turning off the iGPU is not strictly necessary.
If this is a truly, truly bad idea, I'd listen, but I do now have one or two uses (photo editing) where it would save me quite a lot of time for some very useful stuff.

Just plug it in and connect your monitor to it. Lol

Personally, I'd disable IGPU in BIOS if using iMacPro1,1 system definition. But other than that, there really isn't anything else that needs to be done.

It sounds too easy to be true - it's a trap of some sort, right, pastryman?

hey! long time no see!
here I am again, now the problem is that my system is unstable since I installed a 6800, computer is freezing and booting randomly, sometimes it stays up for 3 days and suddenly freezes and reboots.
This is the log it shows after the reboot:

The randomness of the crashes and the panic log leads me to believe it's not a hackintosh issue. I think it's either a hardware issue or macOS issue.

A hard drive doesn't show? Not even in System Information? Disk Utility doesn't see it? What does it show when you enter "diskutil list" in Terminal?

This kernel panic is NVMe related. Are you sure your NVMe SSD doesn't have incompatible controller or firmware?

It does not show in diskutil, it's a 4tb drive.
But it is listed on i/o section in the bios.
About the nvme how do I check if it's compatible or if it is outdated? I believe the Monterey update screwed all up.

I have no idea why the 4TB drive is not showing. Maybe hardware is failing?

Please see the following regarding NVMe SSDs:

Choosing a Compatible NVMe SSD for your macOS Boot Drive

Introduction to NVMe Choices If you have any previous hackintosh experience, you'll know that a limited number of hardware components have native support in macOS. You can't buy just any graphics card and expect it to work. Only certain Broadcom models of Wifi/BT cards have native support etc...
