I wanted to try this but was worried that the gpu pass through wouldn’t be smooth for basic video playback. How well do YouTube and Netflix play? How smooth does it feel overall? Could someone be fooled into thinking it was a native system?
If you’re passing through an entire GPU, it feels just like a native system

My OpenCore-based Hackintosh has been rock solid with the sole exceptions of Sidecar (iPad as an additional monitor) Apple Watch Unlock, which sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t. I currently do not care enough to put much effort into it. Everything else works perfectly: iMessages, AirDrop, iCloud, etc. This is not to discredit the parent comment, but rather to stress the importance of choosing your parts for maximu…
What resource(s) would you recommend for identifying compatible parts?
Has anybody tried getting this to work under Proxmox (specifically) or KVM? I previously used to use this guide for Proxmox - which uses Clover: https://www.nicksherlock.com/2019/10/installing-macos-catali... However, it seems like OC might be easier. Somebody there suggested this (apparently non-open-source) EFI making script: https://www.macos86.it/files/file/20-opencore-efi-maker/ but I can't even seem to get that…
I’ve used this guide: https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM
I use OpenCore but have switched my Hackintosh system over to running in a VM (using GPU passthrough). It's easier for me to backup / make changes this way, and there is only a minor performance hit. This is a Geekbench run from my VM (Core i9 10940x with 4 cores passed through): https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15395105 I have a Windows 10 VM running on a same system too. It may not be suitable if you require vi…
I believe my guide is better at avoiding GPU driver initialization problems than others. I'll need to update it to support OpenCore however.

Linus Tech Tips does one every few years, the last one was pretty recent I think. As far as I remember, almost everything worked really well. Notably, Facetime was really hit-and-miss.
Do you recall the issue? Was it FaceTime specifically or all-things-iCloud? The latter is one of the most common last-mile issues since you need to present Apple servers with hardware identifiers that iCloud agrees are real (i.e.: from your old MacBook gathering dust).
Took a weekend to figure out but after that became pretty solid. So solid in fact that it became my main machine. I don't know what am i missing but i cut videos, make screencasts, work in blender... it all seems just fine.
I am doing this professionally not as hobby its my main workstation.
Now i was probably pretty lucky and for soundcard i need to use external one (i would anyway). But i am pretty sure if you buy right components you will get as stable mac as original and you will be done in two hours not days like me.

One screen, two GPUs. For the screen I've got an LG 38GL950G, and the GPUs are a Radeon WX5100 (macOS) and RTX 2080 Ti (Windows). I run the Linux host (Ubuntu) headless. I have the macOS side connected via HDMI and Windows via DisplayPort. Then I switch inputs when through the monitor's OSD for changing the OS (I think there's a way to do this through DDC/CI commands depending on the monitor, in which case you'd be a…
Does passing through the "boot" gpu work well these days? I remember it not working very well in the past.
I just run the following commands to stop gdm and X after booting:
sudo systemctl stop gdm
sudo systemctl stop systemd-logind
sudo killall gdm-x-session

Can i run 3 screens if the gpu has enough outputs? I mean will it work as it would if it was not vm?
