Hello everyone! So with 11.3's official release today, we're proud to announce that we've released OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.1.1! And with it, beta support for GPU Acceleration Patches!
Overall we're insanely impressed with the progress made regarding acceleration support and have to give a huge round of applause to our very own @ASentientBot. While not perfect, these acceleration patches are very much usable and even daily drivable for those willing to tolerate the odd visual glitches here and there. And building off the foundation ASentientBot had laid with their Nvidia Acceleration Patches, we were able to get AMD's TeraScale 1 series, Intel's IronLake and Sandy Bridge series all working fantastically!

Note: with macOS 11.3 Beta 2 and newer, there is heavy display artifacting on AMD GPUs during sleep wake, display resolution changing and connecting external displays. We highly advise users to stay on 11.2.3 until we've resolved the issue
-
Note 2: Mac Pro users with NVMe drives should be wary of installing 11.3 as well due to the device being present resulting in boot issues
-
Note 3: For current known issues with acceleration patches, check out the associated Github issue
For the furst 2 notes, I've uploaded an 11.2.3 Installer on Archive.org for users to easily download when Apple removes the app from their servers:

And our final announcement for today is that we've started our very own discord server, OpenCore Patcher Paradise! The goal of this server is to help consolidate information, testing, issues and such into one server. With the influx of users trying the acceleration patches, we highly recommend popping in our server if you have any concerns or success posts.
