Hello @hyperx136,
Thank you for the kind words. Hope everyone is following the guidelines of their local authorities and not only staying safe themselves, but keeping others safe as well.
While I have not personally encountered micro-lags with the mouse or GUI, perhaps it's time we investigate this further. Because I have a strong aversion of Bluetooth mice and keyboards, I use either wired versions or Logitech Wireless versions. The Logitech Unifying Receiver, for example, uses a custom 2.4 GHz protocol that connects immediately on startup (i.e. works in BIOS, Clover, macOS, Windows, Linux, etc.).

So let's start like this:
Some things to try:
- What is the make/model of the mouse?
- If the GUI also freezes, does that mean animations also stutter? For example, if a web page containing animated advertisements is open, do the advertisements also stutter?
- If so, would you be able to record about 30 seconds of this?
- Without knowing more about the problem, these suggestions are just guesses....
- If your monitors have MST (Multi Stream Transport, a feature of DisplayPort), try disabling that feature.
- Try the kext located here by copying it to CLOVER/kexts/Other and rebooting. This is primarily designed to improve performance, but because of the additional properties it injects, there might be other benefits.
- More severe options include disabling WhateverGreen and copying the RX 5700 XT SSDT located here to the CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder, and reboot. Certain video ports on the 5700 XT may not work, so it will be necessary to try them all.
- Ensure that DisplayPort cable is certified for DP v1.2 or higher and connected securely.
- Try Clover v5114.
Hi Casey,
So after trying out all the solutions that you listed with nothing working, I suspected that it might be hardware related. I went and change both the DP cables. I cycled them through all the ports at 1.1 and 1.2 DP again and somehow it worked with the new cables on 1.1 DP. I thought that only 1.2 DP allows for 4k 60hz but apparently 1.1 DP does work with my dual 4k at 60hz from system report section. Also netflix DRM started working too, without any shikigva boot args. Before this I was trying everything on 19,1 SMBIOS and nothing worked for safari netflix, all black screen with sounds. Hopefully this can be helpful to someone else.
Thank you so much for your help!
