| Sleep | ❓ | Works mostly but can cause kernel panic on the Nvme. I have disabled NVme since I use SATA for the macOS. Working great |
| Hardware Acceleration | ❓ | Apps requiring hardware acceleration crashes, more info here. This can be prevented by disabling hardware acceleration on those apps or by increasing the VRAM size to 1GB+. You can use Smokeless UMAF AMD Tool. |
| Internal Mic | ❓ | Known AMD Issue, works with external ones |
