I'm trying my best with this old 2013 Mac, but it doesn't have Big Sur support. I'm new to Hackintosh and don't know the best way to make it work. Since Big Sur doesn't support Nvidia drivers, I'm wondering what options exist. This might be a good spot to explore before giving up.

2013 Mac users have explored similar solutions, though some features like Wi-Fi may not be fully compatible. Check out the project here: https://github.com/barrykn/big-sur-micropatcher

It's Intel i5-4570 at 3.2 GHz with a GeForce GT 755M GPU, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, a 2TB fusion drive, HDD storage, and it's pre-installed for 209 GB. Perfect for gaming—exactly what you're using!

You seem to be experiencing the same issue on a nearly identical Mac.

Are NVIDIA GPUs available on macOS? It's unclear if they can be used without installing NVIDIA drivers via alternative methods. Edited November 15, 2020 by elsandosgrande

For Catalina, Nvidia remained a viable option.

I understand you've been told macOS doesn't support NVIDIA drivers anymore, but Apple hasn't shipped NVIDIA GPUs recently. That might be a misunderstanding.

They kept the necessary items in Big Sur.
