OK, then wait for him to post it

He posted his EFI. The One to install Big Sur is on post #98. I forgot where is the Monterey, but I uploaded it here on this post The Monterey should be this one I attached

I suppose to a low level the IGPU is used? or is it the dedicated rx6600m (not fully)? Not sure since it using 7mb of video ram, just the bare minimum. I think @zxc2689963 did test this out and mentioned that didnt work. I think it was on page 2 or 3 of this thread. I could give it a try on my...

Not sure, whatever @zxc2689963 configured the Installer with. I will check later the config file
