Upgraded RX 5500 XT to 6650 XT No Hardware Acceleration, 10mb 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.

Hi @MaLd0n - need your expertise here as I am properly stumped by this problem. Have upgraded the RX580 (which was working fine) to an RX6650XT, but for some reason I cannot spoof the device-id to FF730000, whenever I try adding an SSDT or patching in device-properties. Have attached my full ioreg and gfxutil screenshots, maybe you can see something I've missed?

Hi @MaLd0n

U can use same ssdt but need change things

I tried many times but PCI0.TRP0.PXSX doesn’t work

Also I’ve tried to spoof the device-id using deviceproperties in OC. I can successfully change the Model string but the device-id remains EF730000 not FF730000.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here…
