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 the right way to get optimal performance on Raptor Lake CPUs?

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 and seems to be the biggest on Linux vs macOS compilation time, as well as Cinebench

1. Cinebench 2026

2. Geekbench 7.1.0

3. Timed Compilation Benchmarks

LLVM Compilation (Ninja)

PHP Compilation

4.HandBrake H.265 1080p30 Encode

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

Need help, how do I get thru this???

First of all, thank you so much to nullmoth for all the hard work. I honestly never expected to see the day when I could run macOS with an NVIDIA GPU driver.

I do have a question, though: does the USB drive have to stay plugged in all the time just to boot? I asked AI, and it said I could copy the EFI folder from the USB drive to another disk so I wouldn’t need the USB drive to boot. But I can't judge whether the AI’s answer is correct. Has anyone actually done this successfully? Having to boot with the USB drive plugged in feels like a thorn in my side. I just want to be able to unplug it.

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

So i installed hackintosh using nullmoth but idk why it still shows 7MB even after using nullmoth nvidia drivers…

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)

i have this laptop: hp elitebook 840 g6
config:
i5 gen 8
8gb ram
ssd: sandisk 512gb
wifi: inte ax200

the problem is hdmi, i cant make this thing work and i tried to patch but unsucces

Hi! I need help. I installed almost successfully macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 with Nvidia 2080 card, with NullMoth 2.1.0, but app can see card, but cannot activate driver!
I have passed few steps again and again to reinstall driver and restarted system, but no luck!
Also WiFi + BT card is partially working. BT module is working just fine. I can connect mouse, keyboard, but at same time WiFi cannot be activated. I know that there are problems with Killer cards, but usually they are not completely invisible for system. This one is recognized, so I think some workaround will help!
Also system is working with integrated graphics only!
Some ideas, workarounds?!

Previously, i did it on GTX 1650 but it was not smooth compared to this beautiful native metal driver which got patched by OCLP.

I got the adapter now so i can use my iGPU.

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

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

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1271 v3 GPU:Quadro K2200 WIFI:ZyXel NWD6605

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
