Unfortunately the Low Profile GPUs are becoming quite rare and expensive.
There is no store or online shopping site in my country or countries around me that i didn’t check and i just never found any listing of the MSI Radeon RX 560 LP.
There was the Yeston RX 550 GPU but due to Covid-19 situation last year, China wasn’t shipping here.
The only available LP GPUs were the Nvidia ones like:
- 710 / 730
- 1030 and 1050 and 1050 TI
- 1650
The only option available and maybe the most expensive and the most powerful was the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 LP OC that i purchased.
It is a beast low profile GPU and works excellent on Windows and Linux for Small Form Factors but for macOS unfortunately Nvidia GPUs are a no go (aside the older ones that are still yet natively supported).
As for hackintosh, past Big Sur, i am not sure if these machines will be supported or even work, i guess all of us will have to accept the fact that we may have to upgrade our hardware after 2-3 years as Big Sur and Catalina will be still fine for like 2-3 years unless major security flaws hit us.
