Attempting to run High Sierra (10.13.6) on a super incompatible AMD build. OpenCore boots but there is only a black screen. I believe it has to do with the graphics card. Need advice.

Attempting to run High Sierra (10.13.6) on a super incompatible AMD build. OpenCore boots but there is only a black screen. I believe it has to do with the graphics card. Need advice.

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 960 2 GB Video Card

Installation: OpenCore

Here's the boot output:

After this screenshot, it asks me what I want to boot the PC on, and I have the option to select the flash drive the macOS is located on.

When I boot it up though, there is nothing but a black screen, which makes me assume that it could be a problem with the graphics card being incompatible.

I asked the AMD Hackintosh discord for a possible solution, and I was told that adding an argument to the NVRAM > boot-args named "nv_disable=1" could fix the issue. I tried that to no avail.

I'm not sure where I can send in my config.plist, but I can send the sanity checker associated with it.

Aside from the NIC MAC address not being set, everything is green.

I can also post the pastebin of the output log here.

There is a lot of missing things that the output noted on, but at quick glance it looks like things I purposefully disabled to make this build work.

I've exhausted all my basic options and am now asking for help from the community. This is my first hackintosh, probably the most challenging project with computers I've ever done.

Any input is greatly appreciated.
