Hi everyone,
I think I have collected everything i need to install a flashed W5170M in my 2010 iMac 11.2. I am unable to find anyone locally to perform the install so I'm giving it a shot.
In Ausdauersportler's Nov 3, 2021 post he mentions that OCLP from version 0.3.2 will be able to autodetect the new GPU and create a working Opencore installer.
Does this mean that if the mac is running Sonoma and OCLP 2.2 that the mac can be disassembled without making any software changes prior to installing the new card?
I noticed that if I set the MXM GPU to AMD GCN and attempt to build Opencore (which is what the GPU seller in China suggests) before installing the new GPU that the installer will be unable to build Opencore.

Thanks very much for all the advice so far and any new advice related to my question today
