Need Help with RX 570 Graphics

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

I just upgraded my PC and reinstalled a clean MacOS Monterey with the EFI Folder for Alder Lake, the installation worked with a hitch. Unfortunately when I boot it, my system it detects the GPU (it says Radeon RX 570 in the About this Mac section) but the display is set to 1152x870 (the actual resolution is 2560x1440). I tried Windows and the display works perfectly fine there.

I zipped it because the file was too large for the native upload otherwise (5,4Mb).

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I connected a second monitor (by HDMI instead of DisplayPort which I used for the main monitor) and it runs at the native resolution (2560x1440). Is it possible that display port is not properly supported?

EDIT: If I connect the monitor by primary HDMI, it runs at the native resolution but has quite intense screen flickers the whole time (especially when scrolling). But I never had this problem with my old installation or windows so I doubt it's a hardware problem.
