Vanilla Hackintosh macOS 13 Ventura with OpenCore bootloader

psyolent replied to MaLd0n's topic in Ventura (13)

Heya. Bit stuck with MSI H510M-A-Pro, with MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor SP 8GB and latest Ventura, with i5-10600k, using iMac20,1 Boots fine, Geekbench CPU single and multi core are fine, but 1. Processor shows up as an i9? 2. GPU - does not show up correctly, shows 14MB of ram, and, no discreet graphics card eg: RX580. No hardware acceleration either. Bit stuck as everything seems in order with Lilu and Whatevergreen in place to support it. Welcome peoples input please
