Working now sonoma 1050 with nvidia , need to patch acceleration...

Working now sierra 1050 with nvidia web drivers and this fix: Name: com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy Find* [HEX]: BA050000 00 Replace* [HEX]: BA000000 00 Comment: Prevent AGDP from loading

What performance silent not expensive gpu you think its best for working with Sierra ( i really need sierra) and Catalina or Monteray or Ventura. RX550 Lexa ? I tried GTx 1050 last night, black screen after oclp nvidia update. (pascal is supposed to work but not here anyway). And gtx 1650 Turing will never work no web drivers.

Thank you

Thank you i will check into that ! Great to know you can enable it on kabylake , ventura, or big sur , catalina fine too ?

I gaved up the project for now, intel drivers framebuffer not work. The best working solution right now is my gtx 1650 , recognized without modification and running almost great frame on big monitor even no acceleration. i hope i can fix acceleration later with some open core legacy patcher drivers. let me know if you know thank you very much !

Not work, i roll back to first EFI you sent me with and try add frambuffer from new EFI you sent me. T3620 i5 7500 3.4GHZ supposed to be imac 18,2 but maybe 18,1 as new EFI you sent me with different boot flag as well

yes it crash , ok thanks i try ipgu only, i remove 1650

OK Thank you ! It seems GTX 1050 is supported but not sure GTX 1650 yet. I will continue try. Well i boot 1650 fine but no acceleration.

So i wasnt able to make acceleration work in ventura and killed myself trying so now i am switchin to GTX 1650 nvidia card (turing) works oob but no accelerate (yet). this can be achieve with oclp but the post-installer not detect the card (yet) need help for the boot args please if you have any idea the closest i found is for Tesla cards https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/14_OCLP_Wintel/Enable_Features/GPU_Sonoma.md *and i have removed -igxfvesa which prevent acceleration , is good for boot install thank you

Thank you i'll follow that

The correct smbios is imac 18,2 for this cpu i5-7500 HD630. loading fine, video needs patch... dont know how

Ok yes im installed now, video vram 5mb slow. HD630 , i will try smbios 17,1 now. Do you have patch info i need please ?

Installer loads ! Thanks so much !!! -igfxvesa is needed. SSD not detected i need try another one or reformat though. Kingston ssd. Also this EFI is smbios macpro 7,1 do you leave it like that for T3620 ? or you change it post install to imac 17,1 ? Thank you Installing after proper APFS formating. Let me knwo about smbios, thank you so much again you saved me from days and days of suffering

Thank you i will try that

Hello i followed advices and your EFI and vanilla raw file, but still cannot install Ventura on T3620. Maybe i have to try different SSD ? I tried 2 different already. Are you sure bios as to be set default without no modif ? Thank you !
