Looks like it's all enabled correctly there. Which PAT patch do you have enabled?
Message is gone. I updated some files and now everything is ok! Just no Metal still :-(

The PAT patch is the last two kernel patches. My patch boosts AMD GPU performance.

How is it you're testing metal support?

I check Hackintool for Metal support.

I'm assuming you've got Whatevergreen.kext? If you do, add the boot arg radpg=15. I'm unsure if it'll help but worth a try.

Ok, I’ll try!

Shoot, it doesn't work. Is the position where I put "radpg=15" of any importance? I put it at the very end: "keepsyms=1 npci=0x3000 msibase=0x90 alcid=2 -no_compat_check debug=0x100 radpg=15"

Position doesn't matter no. What is msibase=0x90 for though? Also if you need to use -no_compat_check then you're using the wrong SMBios.

I don't know, so I deleted it. Both by the way and no issues booting MacOs. But Metal is still not working.

When I check my config.plist in OCC I see this:
SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml don't use both SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP and SSDT-EC
SSDT-EC.aml
don't use both SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP and SSDT-EC
You might need something like SSDT-EC.aml or SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml. See the [ACPI Docs].

Only use SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml but this wouldn't affect the GPU. Does YouTube etc play at all?

Yes, YouTube plays without any hiccups. I wonder if I delete everything but the ssdt you mention, will it boot then?

What I meant is that you shouldn't use two different EC SSDTs. If YouTube plays without any issues I don't thing there's actually an issue with the GPU working. Just a cosmetic thing.

Ok, it plays 4K video flawlessly also.
