Hackintosh in Ryzen 4500u and Nvidia MX-350

suds_mac · February 26, 2021

So, can anyone know if it is possible to install Mac Os in this specs?

Thank You!

Yes, but only up to High Sierra as the MX350 is Pascal. Only Kepler cards support Mojave and higher.

I advise OpenCore over Clover for your bootloader.

No, MX GPU may not run on Hackintosh, i've never read any success story with this GPU.

Pascal is barely supported in older OSX. And it's not supported on latest OS.

Especially AMD APU (4500u), will never be supported.

If you want 99% compatibility get Intel CPU + AMD GPU Laptop.

But if you already bough it, worry not, you can just run it in VMWARE.

Tried this last night it worked on my Ryzen.

AMD support is nice, if you want to use opencore. But still, Adobe apps crash on it.

HS is the only version that will work and that too will have problems. Until AMD releases a ryzen chip with a Vega 20 igpu, you won't be able to use your igpu. You will need to disable your igpu in your bios.

There is work being done on the AMD igpu scene for hacks. You can check out the Vega graphics gang telegram channel for beta builds.

Imo, you should use KVM and setup a passthrough. Also I don't think that the MX350 will work ootb. Nvidia mobile chips have been problematic. So be prepared for unofficial kexts. But you are prolly going to be using Lilu and fakesmc etc, so that shouldn't be a real problem. KVM> VMWARE/VBOX cuz L1 hypervisor. Level two hypervisors suck(amirite?)

Consult r/hackintosh for more info.
