In macOS Ventura and newer, repatching is needed for most configurations after reversion. Reason why this happens is automatic root patching during USB install and the autopatcher assuming you will be using the original graphics card and therefore doing non-Metal patching. **Metal and non-Metal GPUs cannot be used at the same time** as Non-Metal patching completely bypasses Metal and requires removing some parts such as drivers for other cards, which causes Metal cards to not accelerate after swapping. -The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume that you will be using the original graphics card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards.
