OK. ocvalidate identified some missing keys in your config, but none of them is related to the GPU. You can try copying them from the 0.8.4 sample config, but I doubt it'd make a difference.
Code:
OCS: Missing key Strategy, context <Block>!
OCS: Missing key CustomPciSerialDevice, context <Quirks>!
OCS: Missing key ForceAquantiaEthernet, context <Quirks>!
OCS: Missing key LogModules, context <Debug>!
OCS: Missing key FullNvramAccess, context <Tools>!

OCS: Missing key LoadEarly, context <Drivers>!There are two things that stood out to me in your config.
First, I'm curious why you have this device property for the RX 6600:
Second, I wonder if disabling your iGPU with the -wegnoigpu boot argument is having any impact:
Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue might be.

The device property is only so it appear on "About this mac" --> "System report" --> "PCI"
I will try it without -wegnoigpu lets see

Hello, first of all, thank you for this excellent guide ! @Gobias
I have a x99 system based on the legend KGP's iMac Pro build... which is well served for several years but it is quite old in these days. I am stuck with High Sierra so I am considering to update my system to z490 mobo with 10th gen CPU once and for all before going for Apple Silicone.
I am a pro musician and audio engineer working with Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Logic Pro and excessive user of UAD cards so, Thunderbolt is a MUST for me. I have now Gigabyte Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt add-on card on the Asus x99-a ii without any problem.
I found same mobo as yours Asus Prime Z490-A for a fair price on second hand market...
My question is, if I go for similar build as yours, is it possible the "GC Alpine Ridge" thunderbolt card work with Asus Prime Z490-A ???
btw; here is my system details:
Asus x99-a ii
i7 6950x
samsung 960evo m2
EVGA GTX1050ti
GC Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt add-on
etc..
Thanks.

Nah, I tried that before it didn't work. At the moment, I'm testing if its something related to the new motherboards 600 series. I will try it with an old x99a.

I've never used a Thunderbolt card, so I couldn't say. The manual for the Prime Z490-A includes instructions for installing the Asus ThunderboltEX 3-TR card (see screenshot below), which obviously Asus would prefer you buy, but that doesn't mean your card wouldn't work. I found some reviews of the GC Alpine Ridge card that said it worked with other Asus motherboards, but I couldn't find anything specifically about using it with the Prime Z490-A. It might work, but I can't say that for certain.
