Hi there, hope you're doing awesome!

Dortania's Guide, Whategreen's FAQ, and Other Forums are saying that AMD 7 240 is compatible upto macOS Monterey but I'm struggling to make graphic acceleration work in my Intel i5 8400 hackintosh machine via dGPU AMD R7 240.

I spoofed the R7 240 as R7 250X to make it compatible with macOS Big Sur, and installed the macOS. But somehow I'm unable to enable the graphic acceleration of my dGPU.

I don't want to use my iGPU UHD 630 because my motherboard's HDMI port has been damaged and I'm not getting display out from VGA.


I saw people are getting success in getting graphic acceleration work from AMD R7 240 dGPU.

I have tried many fake IDs (suggested by some forums) but still no result.

My specs as follows:
CPU: Intel i5 8400 (CFL)
dGPU: AMD R7 240
MB: ASUS PRIME B360M-D
Ram: 16 GB

I'm not able to buy a new-cheap graphic card that's why to make it work.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

The spoof isn't working as the GFX0 is missing from the SSDT. Spoof the GPU to 6798.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand correctly. If this SSDT is incorrect, then would you like to create one for me? or make me understand what needs to be fixed and how?

Hello. I am thinking of buying this card for my hack. I have a primary card for Windows RX 7900 XTX and this Radeon R7 240 will be second. Is this card suitable for the upcoming macOS Ventura? Or better buy GeForce GT 730?

Those cards are two slots with an active cooling system. I am looking for 1 slot card with a passive cooling system. I do not have a lot of space in my tower. This will be the second card.
