Yes I was stuck on Beta 7 until I saw Mald0n's post selecting Advisefeatures in Platforminfo.  Had this problem with my Ivy Bridge Desktop and Dell Xps 13 laptop.

i had a question you say you have a Ivy Bridge Processor but your using a MacBookPro 13,3 as a smbios and thata it was working fine and then now your usina smbios on imac17,1 which is skylake. Now for graphics acceleration i have always used "framebuffer-unifiedmem" "data" "0000F0FF" for 4095MB  or "000000C0"for 3072MB or "00000080" 2048MB or the regular value being 1536MB I would use "00000060".  I can adjust it without issues. However i truly cant say that there is much of a performance increase past 2048. If there is its really hard to see. I havent benchmarked it so im not sure. But you can scale your VRAM upp and down with that patch from WEG.  My question though is on SMBios I thougt you were supposed to use the smbios that was the closet to your hardware as possible for best results?  Your saying someting entirely different so what i was wondering is am I wrong about my assumption of SMBios selection? Iunderstand that you can load up a different smbIOS at will but would you mind explaining to me your thinking onhow your approaching this!? Bcuz if im wrong and there is a better way to go about it then what ive been doing I would like to know. Bcuz i have 3 to 4 machines that i regularly hackintosh on and the best performance ive gotten is off the dell 3060 with i38100t in it but ive limited myself to the smbios closest to that which i did run imac17,1 and it worked ok i did that based on the sockets are the same for the 15 6600 and the 138100 but there not interchangeable meaning i cant put my coffee lake in my dell AIO 7440 that has the 15 6600 ,,it will fit but it wont work even though its the same socket size.  So i was wondering what your take is on that. concerning the SMBios selection on say Dell e6430 which is ivy bridge hd 4000 i mean i use mbp 9,2 10,2 MM 6,2 {MBA6,2 if wanting to use big sur} imac ive not been using bcuz there is  a dGPU and IGPU and im only using macines with a igpu. -wegnoegpu is wat you would use if you were usingg a imac smbios bcuz macos expects a dgpu to be present at all times on imac whereas one handles computing tasks and the other is used to individually power a display. that reference there was from non-vanilla-way. But anyways if you get some time hit me back and tell me your approach oin the matter and if im doing things wrong on my end . I would appreciate it

oh and the GA im speaking about works in monterey as well if you have a supported system. If you dont and require the patch for the hd 4000 it will work once your system is patched. but not as a original patchin solution. as is in the othercases

Not sure if you are directing the question to Rutherford or myself.

I use imac 17.1 not MacBook Pro 13.3 because I have a Desktop PC Gigabyte B75M-D3H i5 3570K Ivy Bridge Motherboard.  Initially used MacBook Pro 8.2 and MacBook Pro 12,2 because that is what was recommended by Open core Legacy patcher and Chris 1111 Patch 4000.

Changed to iMac 17.1 and Chris 1111 Patch 4000 worked on my system. Monterey will only support Desktop Mac's from late 2015 > iMac 16.1. 

On a laptop Monterey supports > early 2015 MacBookPro 12.1. Rutherford uses MacBookPro13,3

Due to compatibility changes in Monterey it is not possible to use the exact Smbios to match CPU and motherboard. If this is an issue go back to Big Sur.

Ok i see what your sayin. It makes perfect sense now. Out of curiosity what about PM?  Are you able to use the SSDT PLUG or do you still be bound to the SSDT-PM from Piker Alpha bcuz of the ivy bridge setup concerning PM Compatibility.

Im sorry man I didnt communicate very well there. No i haveno problems with the ivy bridge. I was at the time using a dell e6430 laptop which i had basiclly learned alt of my hackintosh skills on over the past two years and so i was just curious about your injection of the imac 17,1 sm bios on he ivy bridge setup. Bcuz i for moterey used 12,1 MBP. I guess i assumed you wee on a laptop nd i was just curious how the spoofingwas going with imac17,1 on tha setup was all. So i just didnt commuicate thatvery well i apologize. My girl has a MBP 9,2 And so i patchdit with OCLP and further afterinstall had gone into the efi and opened up the config plist and adjusted somethings in there which some are beneficial and others were just cosmetics. ex. unifiedmem patch i added it along with th fbmem and stolenmem and patch enable framebuffers to add the vram up to 4095 mb on her legi MBP 9,2. Now i asked someone about that UNIFIEDMEM PATCH and whether or not it is even worth anything past the 2048 mb patch meaning anything above the 2048 is purley a cosmetical thing they hhad said. BCuz i was not sure if that wasactually giving 4gb of vram and i never could get it to go highe than the4095 mb and every time i would add a valuegeneratedfromthe calc section in hackintool for say5g or 6 6144 being 00001800 or whatever i would get kernal panics so i gave up and i had the smeresults ona coffeelake i3 8100t as well whentrying to ventue above the 4095 mb range using tat unifiedmem patch. The only reason i was entertaining it was becaus i read that intel allcocates available system memory to the vram as needed so i thought well hell if i got all this ram then why not try and allocate8gb of vram if i could and make tose damn chess pieces come to life wheim playing online. But yeah i got confused or didnt communicate very well. My name is rick nice to met ya take care. If you have any ideaon the vram scenario i was talkiabut then please share your thoughts for as of now im doing the vraam thig only as entertainment bcuz the person who informed methat it waspurley cosmetics after 2048 mb is extemley reputable source on such topics so ive just kinda given up on it for now.  peace out bro

I have installed Monterey Beta 5 on my Gigabyte B75M-D3H i5 3570K Ivy Bridge HD4000  Motherboard. 

Graphics acceleration is good.  Used  https://github.com/chris1111/Patch-HD4000-Monterey/releases.  My Smbios set to iMac 17.1 (quad-core i5) not the recommended  MacBookPro12,1 .  

All good now. Not sure how easy it will be updating to next beta.  I might wait for the final release.

Thanks for your help Rutherford.

Hi Mate ,

Can you share your EFI please , I'm using exact the same specs like yours.

Thanks in advance - Kind regards,

Thanks a lot mate! I appreciate your time to support  I'll try the coming weekend and Test if it works ;) :) 

Thanks again for sharing your EFI.

With Kind regards,
