Ventura and workarounds on Geforce Kepler solutions

Hussain Salam replied to L30n's topic in Ventura (13)

So I also tried this I have a I5-8400 & Nvidia GeForce 710 I updated my open core boot loader to the latest one & installed fresh macOS Ventura 13.1 I tried to use 0.5 OCLP to do the patches, however I just end up with two blank screens any ideas? At this point I’m thinking to just get a new gpu EDIT: Turns out I was missing a boot arg (mentioned in an earlier post). After adding these and running the patch, I was able to get normal GPU functionality with both monitors working.
