| | Before reading here are the guides I've spent 6 hours on trying to make things work but just isn't. - Disabling GPU | OpenCore Install Guide (dortania.github.io) - (2) How to disable your unsupported GPU for MacOS : hackintosh (reddit.com) The graphic card I want to disable is the RTX 3070 using the SSDT method. I have made 2 different SSDT-DISABLE-GPU.aml files and successfully compiled them. The one you see in the image was using the BIOS device name since when I remove #ACPI from the Location name it just becomes the BIOS device name's version. The second one was the NVidia's BIOS device name. Both of them did not work. I tried the -wegnogpu boot-args and that didn't work. I plugged in the DP cable to the AMD card and it just wouldn't load but I noticed when I plugged it into the NVidia card, it was loading SOOO slow. I tried using propertree to get the "disable-gpu" method to work and used OpenCoreConfigurator to make sure it appears in Deviceproperties which it did but having the display port cable plugged into the AMD card after restarting results in the same issues as the other methods which result in no progress in the loading bar when the display port cable is plugged into the AMD card. However, having the NVidia card using the boot-args method and "disable-gpu" method makes the loading bar get stuck half way when the DP cable is plugged into the NVidia gpu, the SSDT method still allows me to boot into macOS however I don't get display options or hardware acceleration because NVidia is unsupported. I am aware that NVidia cards are not supported on macOS, I've put my 3070 on sale so I can eventually get the XFX 6900 XT but in the meantime the RTX 3070 is a stronger card compared to the RX 580 so I'm using that on windows. It gets really frustrating having to unplug my NVidia card just to use macOS which is why I'm trying to get the GPU disabler stuff working until I can find a buyer for my GPU. I apologize if my grammar is horrible, I'm dyslexic and sometimes I can miss things even after proof reading. [link] [comments] |
