Smbios: iMac Pro 1,1 vs iMac 19,1

Hardware: CPU: i9-9900k GPU: Radeon VII, formerly rx580 and GTX 1080 RAM: 48gb corsair LPX, 2x8 + 2 x16 gb 3000 cl15 Motherboard/Laptop model: Aorus z390 pro Wifi Audio Codec: Realtek AlC1220 Ethernet Card: Intel I219V7 Gigabit Wifi/BT Card: BCM94360CD What guide/tool followed: Glasgood guide, with SSDT UIAC for port mapping

Running 10.14.6/ 10.15.6/ Windows 10 triple boot. Open core 059

The problem is that I get random freezing with iGPU enabled and it goes away with it disabled. However, now I don't get HEVC/H264 decoding as shown in videoproc. This is not a huge thing but is getting on my OCD. I'm thinking to change to iMac Pro 1,1 smbios since my iGPU is disabled anyway. But will I run into more problems down the road? I know there won't be mission critical problems but I'm just wondering about minor annoyances and instability - iMac Pro has a T2 chip which takes over some of the iGPU functions. Also the xeon 2140b in the iMac Pro has AVX512 which is an instruction set I don't have in the 9900k.

What are your thoughts? Any experience/ wisdom to share?
