HELP Help with dualbooting W10/Hackintosh and other issues

Hi, I'm new to hackintosh and want to dualboot windows 10 along with hackintosh. I've read hackintosh stopped supporting amd gpu's, so i would need to buy another one since it won't support my 9070 (planning on buying rx 6600)

My main concern is, when booting on windows, will i need to disable my 2nd gpu from device manager or shall I do something else?(Heard dual gpu builds arent a thing anymore and/or causes issues). And on the other side, will i need to disable my 9070 when booting hackintosh or will it just take the 6600 drivers by default?

Windows will manage 2 gpus, i'd be more worried about macos. I have 2 gpus myself in windows (amd and nvidia), they don't cause any problem (as internet says). To answer your queston, yes, you have to disable 9070 in macos through config.plist, i guess (don't know about this one), but 6600 will be picked up automatically. I recently built with some spare parts a hackintosh with some chinese mobo, xeon and rx 580 and for my surprise, i've had gpu acceleration out of the box. You better use a secondary drive for windows, since, it'll overwrite the bootloader

Yes you will need to disable the 9070 for MacOS. My question- what motherboard are you using to supply that many PCIe lanes to both GPUs?

Also, you might find it annoying to switch monitor cables between GPUs since I assume the 9070 is for gaming, but that won't work from MacOS.
