Ryzen 7 5700G
I have installed mac os sonoma using tucano2000's guide but i couldnt get the graphics to get even tolerable, it is very laggy and sometimes even going at 1 frame every 3 minutes, i tried with various vmware tools versions for darwin but it would just tell me to restart but nothing would change, i also notice that transparency doesnt work on the desktop since the dock is plain black with a white border but on the lock screen fps are about 15 and the clock has transparency effects.
Anyone knows hot to fix this.
My specs are ryzen 7 7600G, RTX 4060 Ti, 32Gb Ram
the machine has allocated 1 processor 8 cores and 16Gb ram
 
A VM will not get good graphics regardless of the GPU unless you are using PCI Passthrough which VMWare doesn't support. Older versions of macOS allowed you to disable beam synchronization which improved the visual perfomance but Apple removed that option.
