hi everyone! Has anyone installed big sur, monterey or ventura on a mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with the graphics card it came with from the factory? It turns out that when I try to install on mine I have followed all the instructions provided on the OCLP site and using version 0.6.1 I have had the following results:

when i try big sur, after it finishes the install and does its final reboot before logging in for the first time it freezes at the start of the load

When I try with Monterey, the installer also ends, but when it reaches that last system load, it reaches approximately 30% of the bar, my Mac restarts

When I try with ventura, on the second load it reaches a point where it says "24 minutes left" the computer throws an error that says: "An error occurred while preparing the update" and asks me to restart the machine to boot from another disk ...

It should be noted that I have created the installers in high sierra and in mojave (with the dosdude1 patch because my graphics card is not compatible with metal), I have changed pendrives and I have used different 2.5" sata ssds to make the attempts to facility.

i use this video as a refference for the instalation. I do all that as i see on video and won't work.

Can someone help me with advice, a guide for installing any of these versions on my mac pro? Thanks in advance.

Which one is yours?
Ventura install needs to be launched in an environment that is well-enough set up to fulfill system requirements.
