## No Graphics Acceleration
In macOS, GPU drivers are often dropped from the OS with each major release of it. With macOS Big Sur, currently, all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler graphics processors.
In macOS, GPU drivers are often dropped from the OS with each major release of it. If you're using OCLP v0.4.4 or newer, you should have been prompted to install Root Volume patches after the first boot from installation of macOS. If you need to do this manually, you can do so within the patcher app. Once rebooted, acceleration will be re-enabled as well as brightness control for laptops.
See [Applying Post Install Volume Patches](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches) for more information.

## Wake from sleep heavily distorted on ATI/AMD TeraScale 1 from macOS 11.3 to Monterey
This issue affects TeraScale 1 GPUs (ie. ATI/AMD Radeon HD2000-4000) running macOS between Big Sur 11.3 and Monterey.
**Fixed for macOS Ventura starting from 0.6.6. Big Sur and Monterey will continue to exhibit the issue.**
For older versions, only known solution is to downgrade to macOS 11.2.3 or older. Additionally, logging out and logging back in can resolve the issue without requiring a reboot.
