Try SetupVirtualMap = false

Can you post your full EFI folder.
BIOS version? Settings? Full Specs?
@djlild7hina many thanks I tried SetupVirtualMap=false , and it still stuck at 14 min for hours
Please see attached EFI and log text
I have update BIOS but then I have to to revert back to 802 as I couldn't boot from USB.
BIOS setting same as KGP for ASUS X299 motherboards

Many thanks for your kind efforts

Great, basically all RDNA1 RX cards are fully compatible with macOS? Do they still need WEG + agdpmod=pikera even on MacPro7,1 according to your knowledge/experience?
Yes but here are the RDNA 2 : so for full acceleration the AMDRadeonX6000.kext must be updated as you can see for Navi10 for example :

Code:
    <key>IOClass</key>
            <string>AMDRadeonX6000_AMDNavi10GraphicsAccelerator</string>
            <key>IODVDBundleName</key>

Understood, basically we have to wait for the driver to be updated (and for the cards themselves since they're pretty much a paper launch for now). What about WEG + agdpmod=pikera? Still needed with MacPro7,1 and RDNA1?

Ok :
Personally, I don't use RNDA 1 GPUs: as I can read on RX 5000 GPUs, WEG + agdpmod = pikera is needed and I think we should use RDNA 2 in this way, developers still have to work on it.

No weg or agdpmod is needed on my RX 5700 on MacPro7,1

I am running a really stable Open Core Catalina (macOS 10.15.6) system on a X299 Sage 10G motherboard. Looking at Big Sur, is it possible to do a direct update with the "Install macOS Big Sur"from within my current installation without creating an installation USB stick, etc for Big Sur? The main page on tonymacx86 says this is possible, but I was not sure if this was the case with Open Core on the X299.
