  3. Unable to set brightness , even in quick settings the slider is just disabled

  4. Rn i have to keep my USB plugged in to boot MacOS , i have to mount the EFI in USB in place of the EFI already in the drive containing MacOS , but the problem is I couldn't find the EFI in the Drive

  5. My ethernet also refused to work , my Wi-Fi card is incompatible ,could it be the reason , i have to use USB tethering all the time

Can I get a mobile GTX 1050 working under High Sierra?

I recently bought a cheap Acer Aspire VX15 2017, it has a i5 7300HQ and GTX 1050 mobile.

I've already done a few hackintoshes before, but never on mobile Nvidia, so I know that High Sierra has the webdrivers, but I don't know if it works on mobile Pascal.

I need to run Xcode, preferably Xcode 8.0, as well as other 32bit legacy applications, hence why I'm ok with very old macOS.

No, I don't have a MUX switch unfortunately.

Testing Hackintosh with newest Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus / Tahoe 26.5 / Thunderbolt 4

I finally got my hands on a Core 7 Ultra 270K Plus to test in a Hackintosh. Complete success! Absolutely responsive; I'd say it's the most responsive Hackintosh I've ever seen. Even though the test was quick, I was blown away. Here are the CPU-only benchmarks. Finally, WiFi/BT with AirDrop and everything else will work perfectly, as I've documented in my previous posts.

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
GPU: Sapphire Radeon VII
RAM: 64GB DDR5-6400
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WiFi
Audio Codec: Realtek ALCS1220A
Ethernet card: Intel i226V 2.5Gb
WiFi/BT card: None
Touchpad and touch display devices: None
BIOS revision: 3020
Storage
1 x 1TB SSD Kingston NV3
1 x 1TB SSD Kingston NV3
1 x 2TB SSD Kingston NV3
Works
Everything including Thunderbolt 4 hot-plug. Not WiFi/BT installed this time
Used
OpenCore 1.07
