At the moment I run Big Sur with a Ryzen 2600 and Sapphire RX580 8GB. It runs fine, and wireless and Bluetooth both work, iMessage doesn't but that is no big deal.
However the RX580 whilst ok when doing normal stuff such as browsing, email etc but when I open anything graphics intensive like a game the fan noise is just too much.
Yesterday I put together a machine for my wife which uses the Ryzen 7 5700G so she has no graphics card. It is whisper quiet even when gaming, and it games quite well! However, she runs Windows 10.
I know that in the past a "G" version of Ryzen would not work in macOS on its own. The integrated graphics could not be used. But has anything changed with patches etc? I don't want to be playing the lottery on shelling out for another graphics card if it is going to be just as noisy as the one I have.
Thanks
