Then I went to do the same thing on my secondary Mac Pro 5,1 and ran into an issue. The computer will no longer boot with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card as it had prior. I installed OpenCore 2.0.0 when prompted, installed it to my primary SSD, and then also applied the root patches as recommended by OpenCore. When the computer rebooted it did not display the boot selection screen as it had prior and rebooted itself once and nothing happened from there. The computer is still running macOS Ventura as is it had been prior with OpenCore 1.5.0.
The only difference between the two Mac Pro’s is the graphics card, so I put in a older NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 card into the secondary Mac Pro and it booted directly into a recovery environment and told me that macOS needed to be reinstalled and offered an option for me to select a boot disk. Once I selected the SSD it and restarted it booted into Ventura normally. I powered off the computer, put the original GTX 650 Ti card back in and the same issue happened again, no boot, single restart and nothing on the display. I put the GT 120 back in, booted, and then I reverted the root patching and tried the original GTX 650 Ti card once again with the same results. I put the GeForce GT 120 card back in and booted into Ventura. OCLP wanted to root patch again so I let it and that went normally. So I’m using the GT 120 card in the computer for now. It’s my home server computer, so the graphics card is not really doing any work AFAIK.
I’m at a loss as to what went wrong, or maybe the GTX 650 Ti just isn’t going to work moving forward.
