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

Hi, me again ;)

I have a small question. Don't know if it is related to my configuration or whatever.

Now when I use FCPX (10.6.4) and I add a Title to a empty 8K project it takes about 15 min to render in the background without anything else running. Also GPU says 99% memory used. Even after the background render my GPU Memory used stays at 99%

Does anyone know if this has something to do with the latest update to 12.5.1 or latest update to OpenCore 0.8.3?

Did a clean install and still this problem occurs.

Anyone?
 
MacOS Flight
Z490 Vision D |  i9 10850K |  Vega 64 8GB
now i back from 13 to 12.5.1 and find a bug:
after i turn on XMP from 2400Mhz to 3200Mhz in BIOS, the CPU load of bluetooth is 100% when waking up.
can anybody help me?

Simply disable (uncheck) the following two items in config.plist:
  • ACPI --> SSDT-USBW.aml
  • Kernel --> USBWakeFixup.kext
Then reboot and check again.
 
With the recent GPU flood, I am considering upgrading my RX570 4GB to something better. I have a 144Hz 4K 28" monitor with freesync premium and gsync/vrr. What card can I get that can do promotion, or at least 120Hz in the latest Monterey build (12.5.1)?

Anything plug-and-play? Rx 6700xt or RX6800 may be getting cheap soon.

OK. I'll set my target there. Is Monterey able to do promotion with a 144Hz monitor with that card?

144Hz should be just fine, but it may be necessary to first switch to a scaled resolution and then select the frequency from a pop-up menu. On my AOC Agon monitor, I can set 120Hz refresh rate with no problem, but it's only available at the lower 1080p resolution.

Isn't ProMotion on Macbook Pros a constantly changing refresh rate, on the fly ? Don't think any monitors we connect to a hack can duplicate that. It won't work on any Intel based iMacs.

"The ProMotion technology in the new MacBook Pro adapts the refresh rate to match what's on the screen."

"When you are reading a text document, your laptop doesn't need to refresh the display 60 times per second. In this case, the new MacBook Pro will decrease the refresh rate. As a result, the lower refresh rate will increase the battery life, and it will all happen invisibly for the user."

You’re right that ProMotion is a proprietary variable rate refresh (VRR) technology from Apple. But @sbushman18 appears to be referring simply to the ability to set 144Hz fixed rate on his monitor. He brought up ProMotion to demonstrate that macOS can support refresh rates higher than 60Hz.

On the other hand, if he is indeed looking for VRR support on his 144Hz monitor, that’s a different problem. VRR support on third-party GPUs has been very spotty if I recall correctly.
