Hi @CaseySJ thanks for the guide, today i upgrade from the z390 to the z490, but im wondering how can i apply all the configuration from the z390 explained by @luckyal to get the slate digital vrs8 work in here?

For Z490 Vision G new BIOS version F7 released with description: Improve UHD BD (4K BD) support

Hi, thank you all for putting together all this information

My build is:

Z490 Vision D
I9-10900k
GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT Special Edition
Monitor (just in case it matters): Dell u3415w

My issue:

at boot install, when I select Install Catalina (first phase), after the apple logo loads half way screen goes black. It's an issue with the GPU. I figured this by removing the power from GPU and connecting the monitor to the MB hdmi and I was able to install and boot into Hackintosh. Once I install if I want to switch to GPU I have the same issue.

Is this GPU (Nitro+ special edition) supported in Hackintosh

Any advice?

Thank you

Hello @Aresexe,

In Step 4, which config file did you use?

• config-AMD-GPU.plist
• config-Intel-iGPU.plist

Because you have an AMD GPU, the right choice would have been the first one (config-AMD-GPU.plist).

omg, I missed that ( I read CPU instead of GPU)

thank you for pointing this out

Do I need to reinstall the macOS, or should I just change that file in the EFI partition?

Thank you

Just change the file in the EFI partition. If you already signed in to iCloud, then transfer the following items from the current config.plist into the new one (in OpenCore Configurator --> PlatformInfo --> DataHub):

• System Serial Number
• SystemUUID
• MLB (board serial number)
• ROM

Thanks a lot

May I ask what is the best way to do that? Open both files and copy-paste the information?

Sure, that will work.

Sure, that will work.

MLB & ROM show twice (once under generic section and once under NVRAM). Do I need to copy the generic section?

Thank you

Everything works as expected now, except two things:

1.) The Apple Magic Keyboard doesn't work on the login screen, if FileVault2 is enabled (Bluetooth connected). It works only after the password is entered.
Is there any fix available for this?

2.) Sleep problems? Once I've left my Hackintosh for 3 hours and came back, I just got a black screen. Hackintosh was on, fans were spinning, but couldn't get any picture.

3.) The 5700xt & all other graphic cards have lower benchmark scores. RadeonBoost doesn't work for Navi cards yet, because they say that Apple broke the SMU Firmware for Navi Cards in MacOS >=10.15.5
