When you read Andrew's instructions you'll understand why later. ALSO- do NOT load Open Core on your HD - place it on a USB stick and put it in the front USB ports, so you can boot into your mac normally without OpenCore at any time - then you won't have the problem with OpenCore embedded on you main Hard Drive. I've done this three times and it is now fast for me to do this. WHEN installing OPEN CORE - you need to follow the instructions booting into recover to switch off a security thing - just follow along the instructions it works. Installing Catalina 40 minutes - seemed slow, but I did it twice - one for Music one for Video - it runs a cleaner system when I have to have that stupid Adobe CC for some work related video stuff. So it takes many boots to make it work take your time. OPEN CORE: 3-4 hours why? Because I was learning - watched videos, But Andrew's instructions were best. flashing Firmware to load Mojave was easy 15 minutes Youtube tutorials all over the place - but you don't really need to load that one in first - but it's good to do because then you can always boot backwards to Mojave and original video card.

How long? I already had the 580 video card - that was working, but after loading open core the boot screen worked with it - bonus joy Titan Ridge Thunderbolt Card - FLASHED from Andrew on Ebay - with instructions on how to do Open Core etc.


Razor EGPU (not applicable to Music only Video) 450.00 Safire 580 Video Card these are cheaper and good enough for music - with Open Core you get the boot screen so no flashing needed.ĥ700XT Safire version (not applicable to Music only Video) around 497.00 32 GB ram upgrade I forget the price but it increased it to 64GB - now we can do 96GB, but even when loading all BBCSO & SpitFire SSO it's taking up 40GB or so with VEP7 People asked how much and how long?
