Gigabyte Z690 Aero G + i5-12600K + AMD RX 6800 XT

[trs96]

MSI RX 6800 XT is listed on Amazon for $2050.00

That would buy you an M1 MBP base model. When will the gfx card craziness end ?

The craziness has reached down to AMD RX550 and even Nvidia GT710's are now rare, new ...

The craziness has reached down to AMD RX550

Soon you'll be seeing people selling their used MSI RX 570 4GB for $700. The craziness continues.

Pure insanity! I purchased mine from NewEgg several months ago after being selected in the Shuffle.

I must admit, not as successful as I hoped.
I followed the guide as carefully as possible, and I managed to get to the OC picker.
However, the progress bar is stagnant at 50%. I abandoned any further attempts after one hour.

Gigabyte Z690 Areo G.
Radeon RX6800 XT
64G DDR4/3600
1TB SSD (for experimentation)
Fenvi (FV-T919)
Wired mouse and keyboard

What I have done:

downloaded and installed OS onto USB drive.
used supplied EFI-076...V2.
entered relevant ID information within config.plist.
made resizable GPU bar change from -1 to 0 (config.list / booter)
I tried disabling resizable GPU bar within the BIOS settings.

Simply, I am stuck. Literally.

Kindly advise.

Okay let's figure this out...

• Are you installing Monterey?
• At the OpenCore Picker press and release CMD-V to toggle Verbose mode. Then boot the macOS installer.
• At what point is the boot freezing?
• Is SecureBootModel set to Disabled in Misc --> Security?

I am installing Monterey.
SecureBootModel is set to Disabled
Photo of point of loop is attached.

Thank you for assistance.

I am in the process of download the EFI zip from Post 1 and starting the Monterey installer to see if I can reproduce this.

Meanwhile, is Serial Port disabled in BIOS?

Serial Port is disabled in BIOS.

I should amend my original statement. The install is not freezing. It is, however, in a perpetual loop with-in verbose mode, reflecting the photo I uploaded.

In BIOS, is Resizable BAR Support enabled?

• If it's enabled, set ResizeAppleGpuBar to 0 in Booter section only, otherwise boot will fail.
• Alternatively, disable Resizable BAR Support in BIOS and try booting the installer.

Also, are you using a dock of some sort?

Update:

• The EFI ZIP in Post 1 is okay.
• If Resizable BAR Support is enabled in BIOS, we must set ResizeAppleGpuBars to 0 in the Booter section of config.plist.
• STEP 4 of the guide (Post 1) has been updated to emphasize this point.
