Graphics Acceleration Using NootedRed

I managed to get Big Sur running on my Ryzen PC with following specs -

  • CPU - Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezzane)
  • iGPU - Radeon Vega 8
  • dGPU - RTX 3070 Ti
  • Motherboard - Asus Tuf Gaming B550 Wifi Plus
  • RAM - 16x2 GB DDR4 3600MHz memory (dual channel)

I followed the Dortania guide to create the USB installer and included all AMD patches as suggested. I also included NootedRed kext to enable my 5700G's iGPU. I also made the following changes in my BIOS -

  1. Web browsing (specially videos) is painfully slow and graphics in some apps break a lot

I am yet to try out other aspects/functionalities of MacOS as I want to fix the GPU issue before that.

Here is my config.plist file.

Any leads/help on these issues would be great! Thanks!
