Seeking Advice on Ryzen Mobile CPU + Mobile d-Gpu Compatibility with Hackintosh!

[Amidu_8695]

Could anyone pl. answer to any of my five questions:


Q 1. If laptops with Ryzen Gen 5-6 mobile CPU with Amd Radeon mobile discrete (dedicated) GPU(s), for e.g., :

1. RX 6600M
2. RX 6650M
3. RX 6800S
4. RX 6800M
5. RX 6850M XT

are good enough for installing Hackintosh via OpenCore route or not? Or instead do I need to use desktop computer level hardware components for doing same? Pl. help.


Q 2. Would I be able to get full gpu hardware acceleration on macOS with all or any one mobile discrete gpu afore-mentioned or not? Pl. help.


Q 3. Would there be any complications post-installation of macOS with Ryzen mobile cpu and mobile gpu or not? If yes, what kind? Pl. help to let me know. Advice would be highly appreciated.


Q 4. Is mux switch essential in a laptop to switch-off (integrated APU) i-gpu and connect cpu with (discrete) d-gpu? If i do not have mux switch in my laptop, then can I use BiOS settings to switch-off i-gpu and use on d-gpu for processing all work continously without glitch in my Hackintosh laptop? Pl. help by explaining enough.


Q 5. Is it possible to use the RX 6850M XT (extnl.) or e-gpu like in ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2022) for installing hackintosh? RX 6850M XT eGPU is NOT a dedicated or discrete AMD Gpu as normally required for installating macOS. The e-gpu has a claimed PCiE 3 gpu interface to the mobile cpu. But there is NO dedicated gpu with this laptop. Thus, I am scaptical or unsure if I can install macOS on it. Pl. help.



If anyone knows anything credible then please share. It would be highly appreciated as it would be immensely helpful to not just myself but to others as well - for I need to buy a reliable laptop for hackintosh purpose, as soon as possible.

Technically, the above should be supported only if the IGPU/APU is factory disabled otherwise not. If you really need a Laptop with demanding graphics then go for Intel instead of AMD.

Q 2. Would I be able to get full gpu hardware acceleration on macOS with all or any one mobile discrete gpu afore-mentioned or not? Pl. help.

Yes, you would be able to achieve full hardware acceleration provided that APU is factory disabled.

Q 3. Would there be any complications post-installation of macOS with Ryzen mobile cpu and mobile gpu or not? If yes, what kind? Pl. help to let me know. Advice would be highly appreciated.

It totally depends on the Laptop specs, the vendor and how well are you aware of the basics and how precisely are you able to follow the guides.

Q 4. Is mux switch essential in a laptop to switch-off (integrated APU) i-gpu and connect cpu with (discrete) d-gpu? If i do not have mux switch in my laptop, then can I use BiOS settings to switch-off i-gpu and use on d-gpu for processing all work continously without glitch in my Hackintosh laptop?

Dual GPU Laptops are generally not supported on non-Apple computers running macOS even when you have a supported dGPU. If you need a Laptop with a dGPU, the only way is to get a Laptop with a Factory disabled IGPU/APU, unless the BIOS has a way to turn off the IGPU/APU and use the dGPU instead.

Q 5. Is it possible to use the RX 6850M XT (extnl.) or e-gpu like in ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2022) for installing hackintosh?

Better if you provide the manufacturer's link of the Laptop you're willing to buy.
