I have working hackintosh build with the following specs:
With my current config, everything is working from sleep/wake, audio + HDMI audio, builtin bluetooth, power management, iMessage, app store, etc.
My issue is when I open a game on Steam, Dota 2, the overall performance of macOS is laggy. I'm not even on a game yet, just opened Dota 2 and on the main menu, then when I navigate back to Finder or just hovering on my dock with the animation, it feels very slow. Animations are laggy. Dragging windows is also laggy. But when I quit Dota 2, the performance goes back. Everything will be silky smooth again. Haven't tried with any other games, I only have Dota 2.
Opening Adobe CC apps, PS and AI, at the same time does not give me this issue so I think its an issue with Dota 2 or is this a hardware limitation for my RX460 GPU?
Is this performance expected with this card? Or maybe I need to tweak something to make it better?
I appreciate some feedback here and some directions where to start.
TIA,
Francisco

- Lilu + Whatevergreen for my GPU (I have read that I can get rid of this with the latest Clover and some config.plist options, haven't tried yet)
