macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

Sorry to ask a very annoying question - but are things looking more positive to getting graphics acceleration going?

In other words, how are things looking for the future of a mid 2012 MacBook Pro in terms of ever being able to run Ventura like I can run Monterey?
 
For those who might be interested:

I did use Ventura beta and OCLP 0.5.0 on my MacBook Pro mid 2012 during the last couple of days as a daily driver and can’t report any issues.

Performance wise it feels like pretty much the same like Monterey does. I did use Safari a lot including YouTube, taking notes, making Time Machine backups, lots of copying tasks in Finder to and from external HDD. An external monitor was also connected. Airplay worked surprisingly well. The DYLD folder within the Ventura system folder seems to be gone/moved and this installation freed up 15gb in cache files comparing to Monterey.

However from time to time I could see spindump process popping up in activity monitor which is normal behaviour for a beta.

Having said that, I in no way recommend doing the same. However if you want to give it a go, you can use this experience and decide whether it’s worth taking the risk. I only report it for my specific setup.

Be aware of the risks and always have a working USB standalone installer as well as a time machine back up at hand.

works ok just need use oc085 and not the internal picker.. maybe have to use refit to boot oc..(but I use tianocore/coreboot) then use cryptxx.kext and lilu and oc085 for install.. then after do sip 803 and amfigetoutofmyway (and maybe nv-disable for u retail bios) and then complie oclp 0.5a then install root patch. I have macbookpro10,1 with disabled nvidia

i have wd usb so i can use the free one from paragron. after the hang i lost some files because they were moved and end up not copied but deleted.. anyway they work the same so i stayed with paragron one
 
With newest build 0.50 I got beta 11 OTA update for the first time on Broadwell.
Thanx so much for the developers of OCLP.

Don’t know if anyone can reproduce this, but after updating to beta 11 the power management issue is back. MacBook Air 2021 CPU speed fixed at 1.7 Ghz. Also USB 3 speeds are absolutely terrible, below even USB 2.

EDIT: Apparently on Discord people are not seeing the same thing, so I just want to clarify that appears to be a problem with my installation and not widespread.
