@AudioGod cubase and waves - abbey road tg mastering chain,waves real tune, ovox, etc are working ????
I was able to fully fix my build with your EFI, I only had to change my ACPIs, THANK YOU! I was having an audio issue with other setup.This is my first fully functional Ryzen Hackintosh after many many years of intel builds and when I say fully functional I mean just that.
Everything is working bar SideCar of course as there's no IGPU and I'm using SMBios iMacPro1,1 but as for everything else goes like proper sleep, Wake, All iCloud functions, Handoff, AppleWatch Unlock etc etc all works beautifully.
I have fully mapped out USB manually on all ports and there's no micro stutters or freezes or anything else strange that you can think of.

EFI Install Notes
Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following
Note - If your not using a 5700 XT or any other Navi GPU then remove agdpmod=pikera from the boot arguments.
If you need help then feel free to get in touch and do let me know how my EFI works for you.
Awesome, I’m glad I could help in some way Buddy. EnjoyI was able to fully fix my build with your EFI, I only had to change my ACPIs, THANK YOU! I was having an audio issue with other setup.
@AudioGod with the previous EFI I was getting AMAZING GeekBench numbers (but broken/stuttering sound):

This is the other EFI that gets these results, in case you want to check it out:
Success Big Sur 11.1 OC 0.6.1 --> Big Sur 11.0.1 it's BETTER !
After Catalina, here is Big Sur ! add MLB, SystemSerialNumber and SystemUUIDforum.amd-osx.com
I will keep investigating, I am testing yours and this one, to see how I can get the best of both.
The other EFI probbaly has Radeon boost in there that boosts GB scores but does absolutely nothing else and I would not touch it with a barge pole.
if you check my Cinibench score it’s spot on and that all that matters bench wise.
dont fall for the RadeonBoost GB score thinking it means something buddy...lol
also my EFI is set up specifically for a Gigabyte X570 Pro.
what’s your system spec and why you trying EFIs for completely different systems and trying to compare?
Whats going on here then?? I’m baffled...lol
RadeoanBoost.kext (pointless as hell but will boost your GB Score)That was the first EFI I tried for my first AMD build after many years with Intel, then I found yours that was spot on, so I completely stop using that old one, I was just surprised with the score's difference.
I also ran Cinebench (attached) to compare.
Thank you! Your EFI is perfect, so I will stick with it.RadeoanBoost.kext (pointless as hell but will boost your GB Score)
I too am a Intel hacker, look me up on InsanslyMac and your see I’m no noob at his rubbish..
I like to think I know what im talking about..lol
your Cinibench score is good.
for gpu use LuxMark.
GeekBench should not be used as any form of comparison, it’s useless and untouched by the Youtube system testers and reviewers for a reason,
If the GB score really bothers you then just add the RadeonBoost.kext to the EFI buddyThank you! Your EFI is perfect, so I will stick with it.
It's fine, just double checking to make sure everything is running well. I had no idea that the RadeonBoost.kext would make such a big difference.If the GB score really bothers you then just add the RadeonBoost.kext to the EFI buddy
I use a 5900x and my cinibench Scores are consistent be it in windows or macos (the score is within margin or error and totally in line with other users)It's fine, just double checking to make sure everything is running well. I had no idea that the RadeonBoost.kext would make such a big difference.
Does it actually influence Cinebench as well? With your setup I get 24K instead of the 32K from the other EFI, I wonder if there is another difference in Power Management or throttling.

Thanks, I just tested disabling SMCAMDProcessor.kext, that did not improve, I will try the other suggestions. I am also with a Gigabyte AORUS X570 Pro.I use a 5900x and my cinibench Scores are consistent be it in windows or macos (the score is within margin or error and totally in line with other users)
your high score seems right for the 5950x and your low score is more inline with my 5900x.
there’s nothing in the EFI that would make that happen though that I can think of apart from You could try disabling the AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement and or SMCAMDProcessor.kext and see if that boosts your score as I’ve heard reports before of people saying it dropped there benchmarks.
let me know if makes a difference For you.
Edit - As I don’t know what board or bios your using you should also disable SSDT-SBUS-MCHC.aml from the ACPI as it could be doing more harm then good to your system.
Edit 2 - one other possibility although unlikely is you might need to use SMbios MacPro7,1 instead or what I’m using (iMacPro1,1).
Edit 3 - Asus and Gigabyte keep updating there bios to a new beta and performance is getting worst with every revision at the moment so if your using the very latest firmware for your board and we’re using a older one when you cinibenched high then that could also be part of it.
Thats all I can think of for now.
Checking online I see the ave 5950x Cinibench score is around 28500 multi and for geekbench is should be around 1700 single and 14000 multi (not using Radeonboost)
Ok in that case use my results on page one as your marker and if they are close then sorted.Thanks, I just tested disabling SMCAMDProcessor.kext, that did not improve, I will try the other suggestions. I am also with a Gigabyte AORUS X570 Pro.
I don't think the other EFI had RadeonBoost, it was running an older OpenCore, 0.6.1.

@AudioGod I was able to isolate the difference, OC 0.6.4 fixes my audio issues and has lower benchmarks. In OC 0.6.3 I get choppy audio and good benchmarks.Ok in that case use my results on page one as your marker and if they are close then sorted.
i have noticed a drop in performance going to bios F31q compared to F31o And F30 benched higher then them both but had issues with my ram timings.
0.6.3 and earlier are not compatible with the Ryzen 5000 series and this is w(y you get choppy audio yes but I didn’t know if affected performance.@AudioGod I was able to isolate the difference, OC 0.6.4 fixes my audio issues and has lower benchmarks.
