Hello, this is the first time I'm trying to build a hackintosh, so sorry if I'm doing something stupid.
I have a prebuilt PC with an RTX 3070 and an Intel i7 10700, and installed macOS with OpenCore.
Because macOS doesn't support my GPU, the "About This Mac" section first showed something like "Graphics: Display 22MB". It was also pretty laggy. I couldn't figure out a way to stop my PC from using the GPU, because the BIOS doesn't have an option to use the iGPU.
I then tried unplugging the GPU and sure enough, it showed "Graphics: Intel UHD 630 1553MB". Because i dual boot with Windows, unplugging and replugging is not a real option though.
Today i found a guide (https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Desktops/desktop-disable.html) and it seemed to work. I still have to boot with my display port cable plugged into the GPU, and when the boot sequence ends at "gIOLockScreenState" I switch to the mainboard.
But, I now have a weird problem. The "About This Mac" section doesn't show my graphics at all:
Hardware acceleration seems to be working - I have transparency and everything feels smooth.
I also have really weird graphical glitches, with some images or whole windows not loading at all:
These glitches aren't consistent though, and change when I open or close programs, or even click on things.
Also, when shutting down, or sometimes when booting or just at random times, my system crashes.
Because of these two things, and the fact that "About This Mac" doesn't show any graphics, I think that the system may not know how much RAM is dedicated to the iGPU or just ignore it, and by overwriting it i get these weird errors. Is that possible? And if so, how could I fix that?
I also attached my config.plist if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
