Hi AMD OSX fellows, I had a quick couple of questions to pose to the group.

Has anyone gotten Camera Continuity working between iPhone and Hackintosh?
-Is this a limitation of the hackintosh similar to lack of sidecar functionality because lack of T2 chip?

The Camera import function and handoff is functional, however if I try to activate Camera Continuity in Facetime I get an error after 1-2 minuets of a black screen.

Does a lack of T2 chip also disable 4K playback on AppleTV application?

AppleTV application\HDCP does function as I get 1080P playback, however I am not able to get 4K resolution.

I'm running -iMacPro1,1 on OC 0.8.6 with a RX6900XT

Sidecar works on AMD with the proper setup. For DRM you either remove WhateverGreen completely (Navi doesn't need it) or add unfairgva=1 to boot-args.

Hmm, well I double checked @Shaneee 's EFI folder and he still uses WhateverGreen for his RX6800OC (I have a ref RX6900XT) and he is NOT running UnfairGVA in his boot args or PCI device properties. I tried disabling WhateverGreen which resulted in a black display after user login screen so I don't think that's going to work.

DRM works but I can not get video resolution past 1080P meaning I can use AppleTV application just no 4K content and no 4K netflix via safari. Sidecar requires iMac20,1 right?

edit: I did some more digging through the forums and found that other X470\X570 users are also getting the same black screen on continuity camera. It's not the end of the world because I have Logitech Brio (like someone else in comments) but I't trying to figure out why x670 seems to be okay. I wonder if AVX-512 instruction support has something to do with it.
