Z390 MacOS Monterey with Nvidia Kepler card.

Hi Joost,

First of all I would like to thank you for creating and sharing this awesome project !

My uncle is running a hackintosh for a while, using a Z390 Designare with 9900K and Nvidia GTX780 kepler under MacOS Mojave using Clover for a while.

We want to update his system to MacOS Monterey.
I wonder can you EFI be used with an Kepler card ?
He is also still running an older bios version must he also update his Z390 designare bios, or is this not necessary ?

Looking forward to your message, thanks in advance,

Regards,
Floris

Hi Floris,

No problem. I don't have experience with Kepler cards myself. Did you go through this?

Hi Joost,

Thanks for your fast response !

Yes I am aware of that list, thanks.
The card works fine under Mojave and should also under Big Sur.

Monterey and newer, needs a kepler patch as far as I am aware of.
I wonder if your EFI folder was perhaps configured just for AMD cards like yours, and not for Nvidia kepler cards.. ?
Which I think could perhaps lead to an Kernel Panic.. ?

Also which bios do you reccomend now, and is a bios update necessary I wonder.. ?

Thanks in advance,
