success!

successfully installed macOS and managed to get 4 screens working! great. i have gaming monitors, and it’s even running at full refresh rates. it’s so buttery smooth you won’t believe it, I love it

specs: i7-11700k (no oc), Radeon RX 6900 XT (TUF Gaming), 4x8gb DDR4-3000, and the B560M-plus from asus (yes I know a K cpu doesn’t „fit“ in that but it was cheaper than the regular and an OC motherboard in the mini atx form factor was €250+ smth at the time).
