AMD OS X Rules: # AMD OS X Discord Server Rules * Be nice to each other. * No pirate links, no warez talk. * Please try to keep the language clean. * Don't interrupt active help sessions. Look for a free channel (install_support and post_install_support are self-explanatory, if those are in use, use one of the misc_hackintosh channels). Breaking this rule will result in a warning/mute/kick. * Don't cross post your issue across multiple channels * ‎Don't PM or ping anyone for help if they don't ask you to do so. * Promotions are generally not allowed without moderator approval (you can of course link to another server if they would be able to offer better support for a specific issue - say for example, linking to the Intel hackintosh server for Intel hackintosh support or the Microsoft server for Windows support). When in doubt, message a mod. * Don't use Multibeast/Unibeast. * Distros are not supported here. This includes AMDHS, HighSierraAMD, etc. - those are no longer supported. Use vanilla. * If you care about your serial number, hide it when taking screenshots and send your config.plist via PM. * If you don't have anything useful to say then just keep it to yourself. * Moderators have the final say. * Enjoy your time on this server!
I'm running Ryzen 9 5900x RTX3060 and Gskill Ripjaws 32gb 3600mhz ram, gigabyte 570 elite motherboard. Will this system run AMD OSX or not really? Any help is appreciated thanks.
 
OSX = CATALINA was the last OSX, or do you mean MacOS? You can use the Vega IGPU with NootedRed patch and you will be fine. Disable the Nvidia GPU, not compatible

Except the 5900X processor doesn't have an iGPU, its just not going to work without a compatible AMD Graphics Card.

Correct, I have a with the 2700 and doesn't have an IGPU, so I have it with a Vega 56

That is your configuration, not theirs, they won't have any success with the information you provided is all I am saying.

NootedRed start working on Big Sur or Monterey now that I think of it.. I was stating that he can get it to work with the IGPU, depending on the OS and how he sets up his EFI

edit: the other point is that OSX is only referred to anything up to Catalina

With what CPU? Are you telling him to buy a different one with a supported iGPU?

From my recollection:
  1. El Capitan was the first Apple release to be referred to as macOS within the OS.
  2. Since the release of Snow Leopard they were all OS X, it is where the '10' in the OS numbering comes from, i.e. 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x etc.
  3. Even though the El Capitan installer contained OS X in the name, the 'About This Mac' tab listed the OS as 'macOS El Capitan'.
  4. Between El Capitan & High Sierra macOS and OS X were interchangeable.
  5. Mojave was never called OS X Mojave.
Now to get back on tangent:

Exactly, might be a language barrier here not known at this time.
 
Im not telling to do anything, I am informing of technical info
You seem to be missing the point that your information does not apply to him because of the hardware he has.

It seems there might be a clarification needed here. If referring to the latest macOS it's beyond Catalina—perhaps you meant MacOS?

So the last iteration of OSX was 10.15 Catalina. Starting with Big Sur (MacOS 11.0) Apple no longer follows the versioning number structure of OSX. Sonoma is now MacOS 14.
 
Was macOS Catalina the final version of macOS, or are you referring to macOS in general? Utilizing the Vega integrated graphics with the NootedRed patch should work well. It's recommended to disable the Nvidia GPU, as it's not compatible.

The mention of macOS Catalina implies a specific version, rather than macOS in general. Utilizing Vega integrated graphics with the NootedRed patch is advised, while disabling the incompatible Nvidia GPU is recommended.

I think No, macOS Catalina was not the final version of macOS. Several versions have been released since Catalina, including macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, and macOS Ventura. Utilizing the Vega integrated graphics with the NootedRed patch should work well. Disabling the Nvidia GPU is recommended, as it is incompatible with newer macOS versions.
