OpenCL, Photoshop 2022 and other information about some malfunctions Monterey 12.1 in iMac 14.2 late 2013, 27-inch CPU i7 & nVidia GTX 780M "Kepler Series"
I am publishing this post to help other users in my condition, preventing them from repeating my same steps and wasting time unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, the OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.3.3 "Post Install Patch" does not solve the OpenCL issue, even if OCLP P.I.P. adds two missing libraries in OpenCL.framework in addition to inserting nine missing Extensions (Kext) for the nVidia GPU cards that Apple has removed from latest macOS builds.
So, I have made many and many attempts, thanks to the intelligent collaboration of the kind
Ausdauersportler, but unfortunately I have not solved the problem.
So:
- it is useless to try to insert Catalina's OpenCL and OpenGL frameworks and/or edit some files;
- it is not necessary to add the Kext WateverGreen and boot flag "shikigva = 40" to EFI OpenCore as this blocks Catalina booting and the Mac will give a Kernel Panic warning;
- Photoshop 2022
can be made to work by disabling the nVidia GPU from its Preferences. This will allow to open and edit images, but with some limitations and slower. I specify that PS 2022 works great in Catalina instead.
Therefore, we must resign to waiting for some advanced Developers to study and fully understand this issue and allow to solve it using OCLP and/or the Post Install Patch. All in all, they could add some missing files or could intervene in some configuration files of macOS or OC EFI.
We bless these ->
genius people in advance
