Dell XPS 8700 supports NVRAM.
Follow down the screenshots from tests.

Require Emulated NVRAM by installing RC scripts and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi

Looks like my Gigabyte 250M motherboard supports native NVRAM.

I've remove EmuVariableUefi-64.efi driver, shutdown, start, set a variable, rebooted. I found the variable there. I think this mean I'm using native NVRAM, right?

I just noticed another option in Clover bootloader downloads.
I have an Asus Z97-A/USB3.1 Motherboard and I was wondering which Clover version I would download to do a Catalina install. Would I download the Clover UEFI Boot Mode v2.4k r4961 or the Clover UEFI Boot Mode with Emulated NVRAM v2.4k r4961?
Thanks!

You should download the regular one. You can use Emulated NVRAM from there as far as I know

This all seem highly board dependent. Mine requires emulated NVRAM. I'm using the latest Clover version that includes emulated NVRAM.
Still, in my Clover/drivers/uefi/ I'm seeing:
EmuVariableUefi.efi and OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi

I'm confused, but believe I DO need them both for my hardware. Apparently OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 is better for my machine. Does anyone have a final word for me and my ROG Hero XI ?

MSI Z270 has native NVram

Working ASUS P8H61-M LX Rev 3.0 chipset h61

So it does not requires emulated nvram

According to a recent article, installing the attached "SSDT-PMC.aml" file into "EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched" will re-enable native RAM on B360, B365, H310, H370, and Z390 motherboards. It did work for me on both my "Mini ITX 3" and "Mini ITX 4" systems below. The article also recommended deleting some files after installation of the attached SSDT:

• /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
• /Volumes/EFI/nvram.plist
• /etc/rc.clover.lib
• /etc/rc.boot.d/10.save_and_rotate_boot_log.local
• /etc/rc.boot.d/20.mount_ESP.local
• /etc/rc.boot.d/70.disable_sleep_proxy_client.local.disabled
• /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local

NVRAM continues to work for me after deleting the above files also.

I followed your instructions and it is working perfectly in my Asus Z390 Prime-A

ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming - I have native NVRAM working in Mojave, surprisingly. Using 1803 BIOS.
