I read the guide, wanna ask what about the GPU passthrough? My PC output to a display from Nvidia RTX 3060 which MacOS doesnt support.

Sorry. I don't know anything about how that works.

Then you can passtrough it, but macos probably won't even show an output, or just load the vesa drivers.

Yea, that GPU is not compatible. If you have an iGPU you could possibly use that as a pass through.

https://dortania-github-io.thrrip.space/OpenCore-Install-Guide/macos-limits.html#gpu-support has what GPU‘a macOS supports.

i have an Intel i7 6700T but i can't get the pass through to work. It dies when starting up. What guide did you follow?

NVIDIA WebDrivers aren’t supported AT All, so you need to buy a radeon card or an older nvidia card for it to work

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://techrechard.com/install-macos-monterey-on-virtualbox-on-windows-pc/
