Hi, has anyone tried to hackintosh with Open Core? Of so, can you share your EFI and Config.plist?? Thanks!

I do. I have Big Sur Public Beta 2 though, and I am not home so cant send you the config.plist. Maybe tomorrow.

is the rx 550 supported in macOS

General HW support in OpenCore: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/macos-limits.html#cpu-support
AMD GPU support in OpenCore on Catalina: https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/amd-gpu.html#native-amd-gpus

Hi, can any one guide me to a good, well supported Low Profile AMD GPU that is preferably under $100?

I looked at used AMD LP options. The only thing close to $100 is the MSI RX 460. Looks like it might be worth the risk to buy used. Ebay has good buyer protection. The 460 is over 4 years old now so I've not got hopes that it would ever be supported for as long as a brand new Navi based card from AMD.

If we get lucky some manufacturer will release a LP RX 5300 that works with macOS Big Sur.

The new entry level and the mid tier 27" iMac has the Radeon Pro 5300 GPU so a LP RX 5300 would also be supported in Big Sur. A co. like MSI may even make a LP 5500 XT AMD GPU but probably not in a LP form factor. Since the LP RX 560s were such big selling products for MSI and Gigabyte the LP RX 5300 may happen, possibly in 2021.

Reserved for future post #3

I have Catalina on HP SFF 8300 with i5 3570. Would it be safe to install update from apple? I would like to, but I had some bad experiences in the past.

I have 10.15.6. The update is 10.15.6 supplemental update, which is about 2.8GB.
Here is the update:
macOS Catalina 10.15.6 Supplemental Update
macOS Catalina 10.15.6 supplemental update includes bug fixes for your Mac.
-Fixes a stability issue that could occur when running virtualization apps
-Resolves an issue where an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) may appear washed out after waking from sleep

you can update but make a backup first link: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-10-15-6-supplemental-update.302418/

Alright. Thanks.

Rebuilt using Catalina and followed instructions but find that as soon as I put the ssdt.aml into /ACPI/Patched machine fails to boot. (Created aml using Pike Alpha's normal and beta threads - both bring same result.

Edit: Needed to enable internal Graphics which defaults to disabled. Now boots without issue.
Shows IGPU Device ID as 0x01528086 but Hackintool still shows VDA decoder as failed - is that right or should I be concerned about that?

Specs are i5 3470, with NVidia GT710, 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD.

I have the same config and booting failed after adding ssdt because my smbios wasn't right for the architecture I have. Don't use macmini use imac13,2 or macpro 6,1
