For a Hackintosh to function in any practical sense, you need either:
This approach unfortunately does not work either. Unlike some older or more common GPUs that can fall back to a basic VESA-compatible framebuffer when drivers are missing, the UHD 770 cannot produce any usable video signal in macOS. As one community member with an i9-13900K discovered, even forcing unaccelerated operation with -igfxvesa had no impact — the system simply would not output video from the iGPU port.
Do you already own a , or do you need help choosing one?
So, how are people booting macOS on Alder Lake systems? They use . We trick macOS into thinking the UHD 770 is a different, compatible GPU: usually the UHD 630 (Device ID 0x3E9B ) or a similar Rocket Lake variant.
If you are assembling a Hackintosh with an Intel CPU containing UHD 770 and a supported AMD dGPU, you must configure your OpenCore config.plist and motherboard BIOS to ignore the integrated graphics. This prevents macOS from attempting to load drivers for the UHD 770 and crashing during boot. 1. BIOS Configuration
If you want a plug-and-play experience, buy an old Coffee Lake (9th-gen) CPU. If you want raw CPU power and are willing to fight with config files, welcome to the UHD 770 Hackintosh club.
