Hi,

 

I've managed to get the AMD Radeon RX6600 passthrough to a Monterey VM on UnRaid 6.9.2.  However, the GPU name is not listed in the System Information or "About This Mac".   

 

I understand the RX6600 is natively supported in Monterey; Is there anything I need to modify to get the name displayed properly?    Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks.    I visited Dortania.github.io and it seems the AMD 6600 is an unsupported GPU.  However, the 6600XT is supported and requires the Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts.

I do have the AMD 6600 working in the VM but as a generic display (System information shows 'Graphics  Display 31MB'.

 

I'm going to try installing those kext and see if it makes any difference.

 

Here's the output from System Report -> Graphics/Displays:

However it has the same product id of the 6600 XT...and the AMDRadeonX6000Framebuffer kext has value 0x73FF1002 in Info.plist, so I'm not sure why the kext is not loading...

It seems he has the 6600 version..

Sorry for the stupid qeustion but are you running 12.1?

No, I am running 12.0.1.   When 12.1 is available, I'll upgrade the system to see if the card is recognised.  By the way,  I updated opencore and the kexts but that didn't change anything.  Perhaps 12.1 is the key.
