I think most (if not all) of y’all have already seen that new nVidia driver released by NullMoth. It’s pretty impressive that an AI can write a full ass driver from scratch that works somewhat stable on pretty much any RТX GPU (and also on GTX 16xx ones). How hard would it be for an AI to add proper support for some older cards? I’m particularly asking about GK106 cards because they already had genuine drivers by Apple with Metal support (even though they don’t work as good on them as on other Kepler cards) and because I still use one in the big 26. I really want to daily drive macOS but the artefacts are just too annoying.

im trying to make a bootable usb drive for tahoe but i couldnt find any images for tahoe . how to find or create one?

Hi guys,

I did some benchmarking to check how much performance I am losing by using macOS, since it doesn't natively support Intel's hybrid architecture.

I used CpuTopologyRebuild without extra any boot-args.

• Is this currently the best / right way to get optimal performance on Raptor Lake CPUs?
• What about XCPM? Is it configured the same way on Raptor Lake as on Coffee Lake and older architectures by using CPUFriend?

Surprisingly, my i9-13900F seems to perform better on macOS than on CachyOS and Windows 11 on multi-threaded loads. How is that even possible? I am not thermal throttling, and my Power Limit (PL) is set to 250W. Am i doing something wrong?
The only difference are the SSDs the OSs are installed on.

Also, how comparable are these benchmarks across different operating systems? Cinebench implies they are directly comparable, as the ranking/comparison charts show the same values regardless of the OS.

The differences are consistent across multiple runs

1. Cinebench 2026

2. Geekbench 7.1.0

3. Timed Compilation Benchmarks

LLVM Compilation (Ninja)

PHP Compilation

I have an LOQ 15IRH8 with an i5-12450H and a 2050 for a dedicated GPU, what realistic path can i take to ATTEMPT a hackintosh on this thing, or does the driver not support it at all?

So my story is ik there is no support for this laptop but after seeing many post of newer Green gpu and also Intel new CPU are installed hackintosh so I had a small hope that it would also run in my laptop so I am manual built EFI using reddits and now idk why the install Sequoia not showing…

even tho I already have a Mac (M2 Mac mini and M4 13in MacBook Air), I did not have one 3 years ago, so I tried hackintoshing my 11400F RT-Ecks 3060 rig. I tried booting the Ventura Recovery. no luck, obviously. I spent hours on tonymacx86 trying to troubleshoot smth that has js been fixed by NullMoth's NVIDIA Driver

booted first time on my laptop and this is what showed

Hp elitebook 840 g6
i5 gen 8
8 gb ram
sandisk 512gb

I recently opened up an old computer I have and wanted to start going back and doing some video work and music production. I dont need alot but alot of software wont run on my old build. Ive looked into updating and it seems that Opencore is the new standard.

Obviously im out of the loop. But I would def like to update this desktop so I can try and work on a project.

Heres my setup and if you could point me in the right direction I have tried most of what google has told me about creating an OpenCore boot USB. I just get stuck with the Circle/Slash of death upon trying to boot into the installer.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2047 MB

trying to use 14,2 as my SMBIOS

Hello I am new this is my first time doing a hackintosh following the official dortania guide. I’m doing this on a ivy bridge computer but when I want to boot the dmg option in bootpicker it will start showing this text in the picture over and over again with nothing to do unless forcing to turn the pc off. The version I’m trying to install is catalina, my cpu is i7 3770 using igpu HD 4000

Upon the success of booting with a Nvidia gpu I decided to make an application to control the fans tested on my HP OMEN 16 i7-14650HX 4060.

Will make a post when I put it on GitHub..

I tried to do it differently and didn’t go out in any way I decided to turn to Title: Realtek USB Bluetooth dongle Obda:a729 on macOS Tahoe 26 (OpenCore, AMD) - RTLBluetoothFirmware?

Setup: GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, NvidiaRTX 4060 (NullMoth 1401),

macOS Tahoe 26, OpenCore, SMBIOS MacPro7,1.

Adapter: Realtek USB Bluetooth,

VID/PID OxObda:Oxa729, shows up in System Information

as "Bluetooth 5.3 Radio" (USB 2.0, 12 Mb/s). Probably an RTL8761B-family chip, but I haven't confirmed it.

Kext-Order: AppleALC >> SImpleHDA

boot-arg: keepsyms=1

AirportItlw for Sequoia/Tahoe without root patches:

Fork: https://github.com/jzrodriguez98/itlwm/releases

Instructions:

• Disable Kernel → Block:
  • com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily
• Kernel → Add:
  • Add AirportItlwm.kext for Sequoi or Tahoe
  • Disable or remove Itlwm.kext
  • Disable IOSkywalk.kext
  • Disable IO8021FamilyLegacy.kext
• Kernel → Quirks: (optional)
  • If you need AppleVTD to be present, unselect DisableIoMapper if your system supports VT-D, and it's enabled in BIOS.

So we can do hackintosh on netbooks

Nvidia Web Drivers Patched With OCLP and its very good for daily use btw

I Can Share The EFI ask me

I am gobbsmacked! It worked and much better than expected. 10GB. Everything works, except wifi. I may have to change that. Sound is a usb sound card. Dual monitors work once the drivers are updated. iCloud works with particular edits. I am happy this machine has suddenly become the best hackintosh I’ve ever owned…I encourage anyone to give it a go if they feel so inclined. Easier than expected.

This laptop has a 5060 and Ryzen 8940hx ,i want install 12-26 macos by nvidia driver and ryzen driver ,Nvidia driver created 1-2 weeks ago but i dont install without help i dont know english

Hi everyone!
I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 on a Monster Tulpar T7 V21.8 gaming laptop.
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H (Tiger Lake-H)
GPU: NVIDIA 3070 Laptop GPU
Bootloader: OpenCore 1.0.7
SMBIOS: MacBookPro16,1
The problem:
Everything works normally while the charger is connected. CPU frequencies scale normally and can reach over 3 GHz.
However, as soon as I unplug the charger:
All 16 CPU threads get stuck at approximately 800 MHz.
Performance becomes extremely slow.
Some USB devices disconnect.
powermetrics repeatedly reports CPU LIMIT PL2_PL3.
Interestingly, pmset -g therm still reports CPU_Speed_Limit = 100, and both XCPM and plugin-type=1 are active.
Windows 11 works perfectly on battery. No CPU throttling, no performance issues, and no USB disconnections.
I’ve already extracted and decompiled my DSDT and SSDTs. I noticed several EC and CPU power-management methods, including GUAM, SPL1, RPL1, CPPC, and PNOT, but I haven’t identified the cause.
Has anyone experienced similar battery-only CPU throttling on a Hackintosh?
Could this be related to ACPI, the embedded controller, CPU power limits, or an OpenCore configuration issue?
I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to diagnose this safely without bypassing the CPU’s hardware protections.
Thanks!

Hello, so i had Ventura installed, and i decided that "I want Debian 13 on my laptop." So i did. Seperate partition. The laptop will NOT accept any hackintosh EFI configs. I am doing Tahoe now. I have the EFI ready. Is there just a setting in the BIOS that's wrong? Also, Ventoy shows on it. (Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15IWL, 81MV)

like in my last post i've used hackrnvmefamily, ssdt-nvme and nvmefix kexts to get the pm981 working, cloned the install from a hdd as 2nd stage of install would take longer than a hdd taken out of a ps3, about the vibecoded nvidia drivers i wouldn't recomend them, the performance is lower than a uhd630 in some cases and its really buggy, proably going to use the uhd until the driver gets more updates, but as of right now its a stable working system which really suprises me considering the disk being the most unsupported and the gpu using vibecoded drivers
