How to Fix Slow Boot on NVME but fast on SSD

Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments.

Quick Fix Steps

  1. Verify GPU support: Check if your GPU is natively supported via WhateverGreen docs.
  2. Update kexts: Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are current.
  3. Check boot arguments: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 for debugging, or agdpmod=pikera for AMD.
  4. Test Metal: About This Mac > System Report > Graphics.

Verification

  • Graphics acceleration is smooth.
  • Metal is reported in System Information.

Original Question: "Slow Boot on NVME but fast on SSD?"

Hi I have Big Sur installed on a kingston SSD and also on a Samsung EVO Plus 1tb NVME drive. The installations have identical EFI folders & kexts except for serial info. The Kingston SSD boots in about 4 seconds, the NVME drive in about 30. Is this normal? Anything I can do to fix it?

I'm also using OC 6.3, I believe I saw in the guide that my system should not require the NVMEfixup kext so I don't use it and get great speeds once the system is booted. Could this be the problem?

My Setup:

  • ROG Strix Z490-e mobo
  • 3.7 GHz i9-10900k
  • XFX Radeon RX-5700 XT 8GB
  • Corsair Dominator 32GB 3200 MHz ram
  • Fenvi 919
  • NZXT Kracken z63 AIO cooler & NZXT H510E case

Thanks for any help or advice!
