Totally agree regarding IQSV. But not the dGPU usage and Adobe part. Which version of Premier Pro r u using?

I use the whole creative suite subscription, but haven't used PP for a while due to the way they utilize Radeon Hardware. PP has favored CUDA. I am not sure if things have changed, but I don't think I've touched PP for about a year except for some testing here and there.

Regarding your dGPU usage, let me know which part you disagree. How much dGUP utilization do see when you are exporting video? Activity monitor is not the most accurate processor polling tool, but it should give a fairly decent picture of how the software utilize each processor.

Yes. I was struggling with an issue where Native Instruments plugins I legitimately own would need to be authorized every time I rebooted. After a long time of searching around online, I finally discovered that they were relying on the CPU's speed to do some kind of calculation for some reason, which isn't usually filled out by people in Clover.

I went in to Clover -> CPU -> and set my Frequency MHz to a value of '3700' (for 3.7ghz), rebooted, and reauthorized the software and the problem has finally went away. Seems kind of an odd parameter to use. I've talked to Waves who and a few other companies who have told me they use the ethernet hardware ID's. Native Instruments is the only one I've ever had a problem with. I was glad to have finally found a fix, and it was cool of them to actually give one/support the Hackintosh community.

Do you know how you would change these settings if you built using OpenCore? I'm having an issue with my build where Native Access isn't working (the icon just disappears from the dock right away) and I'm wondering if it's the same issue. I don't use Clover though. Thanks!

I don't unfortunately. I haven't messed with OC too much, simply because I'm more familiar with Clover, and I also found an issue with Native Access where it would reset my authentication each time I rebooted the computer if I didn't put a CPU frequency setting into Clover (evidently, they use this value when calculating their hashes?), so... I've stuck with it for now - as I'm not sure if that's a setting that is available in OC or not?

Your comment about Adobe Premiere piqued my curiosity and I did a little bit of catching up. It seems like Adobe significantly improved the utilization of GPU at least for the NVIDIA camp in the last few updates. At least 3x to 4x in export time. I haven't done any testing, but will have to fire it up to find out if the same improvement applies to AMD cards. Thanks for pointing this out although I will probably not change my workflow at this point, but it's good to see Adobe finally making some effort.

Hi All. Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I tried the search feature for the thread and got things that clearly were not from this thread, so I'll ask. I had my Mojave build on a 1TB SSD internal on my Hackintosh (@CaseySJ 's build) and it's working great. I got a 2TB SSD and used carbon copy cloner to migrate the OS. Worked fine. However, if I don't have original boot drive plugged in, the machine just goes to BIOS and sits there. I assume I'm missing the bootloader, but I wanted to know if it's possible to install just the partitions I need without wiping the 2TB SSD (since I've been working on it for months).

Also, if anyone can point to or just list quickly what the steps are for updating the new SSD and what needs to be there so I can free it up, I'd greatly appreciate it. When I started on this build, there were maybe 50 pages on this thread...now there are 2300 and yikes. Hard to swing back into it.

Thanks very much for any help.

I'm going to reply to my own message, and maybe it will help others. It's been a long time since I've messed around with this and I had forgotten that there is an EFI partition that needed the boot files! Opening Clover allowed me to mount it on both the new and old drive and a simple drag-copy worked perfectly. I solved my own issue (and am very pleased with that) but hopefully it'll help others in the future too. Thank you, all.

@CaseySJ the June 20 updates included at the top of extra miles section describing symbios and platform id are a little confusing to me. For Catalina 10.15.5 are you now suggesting hackintool over a clover device entry or is the left over from earlier days? Ideally I have an RX590 installed, I'd like to run 10.15.5 headless with a 19,1 model. Will this device definition in clover cover or are changes needed? What tool were you using to validate graphics operating modes? I've forgotten what it was.

Ive also attached a hackintool screen.

We're simply trying to make the case further in favor of iMac19,1 and platform ID 0x3E980003 (headless) with iGPU enable and discrete AMD GPU installed.
