What you are missing is a compatible AMD GPU.

Your NVIDIA GPU won't work with macOS in a bare-metal install. You would be better served installing Windows and then running macOS in a VM, as outlined in this guide.

*** First of all, don't make any changes to the vmware .vmx file. It is recommended that you create a new virtual machine from scratch so that it recreates this file by default and without any changes.

*** Use VMWare Workstation Pro version at the link provided in the tutorial. (If you install it, you will have to make a new Patch as described)

*** Enable AMD-V or INTEL VT (Virtualization Technology) in BIOS. (you should research how to do this on your machine)


1) First you need to download VMWare Workstation Pro:

i removed my rtx 3060, just leaving th onboard Video Adapter "AMD Raphael" Is that still an issue?
Thanks for the reply.

 

[MickeyDee]

Now have logs if that helps at all.

 

[MickeyDee]

will also try tthe VM, if I am SOL with " metal "

 

[Edhawk]

Yes it will still be an issue. As the newer AMD IGPU's aren't compatible with macOS. Even when using NootedRed.kext.

This is what ChefKiss says on his site.

Well, thats not great, ok, I have a spare GPU somewhere that is older, will try that,
Downloading the ISO for VM testing,
Thanks for all the replies.

Here is a link to the GPU Buyers Guide, check if your older GPU is listed as being compatible.

Introduction | GPU Buyers Guide

for sale near me, GTX 660ti, gtx 1060, radeon 5570, Iceq HD 7970, gforce 7900 GS.

Any of these compatible with ryzentosh build?

 

[Edhawk]

You could use the Radeon HD 7970 to run macOS Monterey. It lost support in Ventura.

Forget the Nvidia cards, they either have specific issues with macOS or can only be used in High Sierra.

What you need is a Polaris or newer AMD GPU, preferably an RX 5000 or RX 6000 series card from this list.
