Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

One more quick comment: Is Deep Color (HDR) enabled on the TV? If so, we should disable that mode and see what happens.

@CaseySJ, hmmmm. great question. A new possible solution to try when I get in on Monday.

I have seen the prompt appear at boot. I have turned off HDR with-in display prefs. for the two monitors, but never for the television.

For the last two to three years, 85 to 90% of the productions supplied are HDR or Dolby Vision format.
The televisions in use are HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision capable however, the 5700 XT is just HDR10.

What is your opinion concerning the addition of a second video card to the system? A RX580 or even another 5700 XT for the television.

Which Pci slot and what changes to the config.plist are needed?

Tony.

Additionally, it might be worth ensuring the HDMI is not plugged into the eARC input…

@canyondust, great question. We have connected HDMI 2. One of the non eARC ports.

It's perfectly okay to connect a second GPU, but the same problem could very well occur on that one as well. That's why it's best to first determine what might be causing the problem.

Here's a simple experiment:

• Disconnect the two monitors from your 5700 XT
• Connect only the TV
• Does the GPU still go to 100%?
• If so, then adding a second GPU (RX 580) may not be a solution.

Which Pci slot and what changes to the config.plist are needed?

Any available long slot is okay. It's best to use the first and second slots, in which case both operate at x8. This is more than 100000% okay because you're not playing games or using the GPU for extreme tasks. Fortunately no changes to config.plist will be needed. MacOS will auto-detect both GPUs without any issue.

Wow, you get HDR files for your cutting copy?! That’s awesome..

@CaseySJ, Will do. I have dedicated Monday evening for experimentation. Hope to get it all resolved.

I dislike having to use an additional synced trashcan just for visual content playback.

Strangely enough, (do not laugh) I feel like I am cheating on the hackintosh, having to incorporate an authentic MacPro.

@canyondust, Yes it is.

This Beta is HackinDROM's more secure and more stable version ever

EDIT: After reboot eveything is back to normal !

You are right !
Did update of OC 0.72 to 0.73 smoothly. Thanks a lot.
However when relaunching I get this message (not a big deal...).
I believe it should be easy to solve out ;-) But how?

For OpenCore updates I always use OCConfigCompare and ocvalidate...clean, no dependency on other apps. Never any issues.

I am a lazy poor lonesome hackintosher. I love one click apps

OpenCore Configurator 2.49.0.1 screws my config.
I used it to modify an OpenCore 071 & 072 configurations and I get plenty of drivers error at boot.
Is there a way out or I have to edit with something else?
Thanks a lot.
