You need to understand that -no_compat_check boot arg applies to SMBIOS/Mac models dropped by the targeted macOS version. The parameter's sole purpose is to allow installing and/or booting a given macOS version on an officially unsupported platform; it's of no (direct) use for graphics acceleration. As such, it's entirely useless with SMBIOS MBP14,x, these Mac models remaining officially and fully supported under macOS Ventura. You would only use it with SMBIOS MBP13,x. Until now, unlike Haswell and Broadwell counterparts, Skylake systems have been able to obtain full graphics acceleration by using/faking KBL graphics with KBL SMBIOS and without any need for OCLP patching. Granted graphics acceleration has been difficult to obtain on HD 530 iGPU, not to say impossible on some platforms. You may consult the threads I had posted for Ventura beta (now in the Archive), my current E7270 guide or the initial Ventura beta thread at InsanelyMac. This being said, feel free to experiment with OCLP if you wish. The Precision 5510 EFI you've referred to clearly makes no use of stolenmem/fbmem patches/injections because DVMT already has the required value (64MB appears to be the default value according to your screenshot on p2). Do take good note that, if DVMT is set to 32MB, it is absolutely necessary to patch it for 4K output. Patching stolenmem and fbmem framebuffer properties won't do. That is clearly mentioned in Jake's FAQ on DVMT BIOS patching to which you had previously referred. In your case, you may experiment patching DVMT to higher values than 64MB. It also looks like you need to learn about the stolenmem/fbmem patches so you have some catching-up to do; it's been covered in all angles since 2015 when gurus such as Firewolf troubleshooted the issue of KP on Broadwell platforms due to DVMT vs. BDW framebuffer native settings. As for the RAM, it really is off-topic and unrelated to Hackintosh but it wouldn't be the 1st time Dell specs state something that's not entirely true on the matter (eg: good old Latitude D630/D830). How do you go about fitting 64GB of RAM? The answer is very likely to be so simple and obvious that it would leave you red-faced... Real question is whether you would need 64GB or not. But, again, off-topic, so let's close the subject.

Ventura Since Ventura had dropped support for Broadwell iGPU, I'm not going to create a guide for it. For those that want to test it, I'll list out the steps I took to get it install and enable graphics acceleration. Not tested for for anything else. Download E7450_OC_0.8.7 EFI above Download the Ventura files attached here and replace it to the 0.8.7 EFI I created a Ventura USB installer, so I didn't do an upgrade, but I was able to install on top of an existing Catalina system retaining all data and apps. After installing, your system will be really laggy because there's no graphics acceleration. Download OpenCore Legacy Patcher (current version is 0.5.3) Select Post Install Root Patch, then Start Root Patching. When it's done, restart the computer. That's it! You noticed in the patcher, my model shows MacBookPro14,1, that's what I need to set the SMBIOS in order to install Ventura. It's already set in the files I attached. After you have successfully install, you can manually change the SMBIOS to MacBookPro12,1 but you won't be able to see any new updates. You'll need to switch back to MBP14,1 for the updates to show. After any upgrade, you'll need to run the OCLP again for graphics acceleration. Note: If you're going to install on top or upgrade, OC will still show the old volume name even if you changed it in the OS. Ex. if your volume was previously call Catalina and you installed Ventura and later rename the volume to Ventura, OC will not change and will continue showing Catalina. To circumvent that, change the volume name prior to installing. I believe this behavior existed long before. Another option if you have already install without changing it prior, download and install Intel Power gadget. This will update the volume name for OC automatically. Ventura.zip

It probably will. Common sense dictates you experiment using a bootable USB key... As simple (and obvious) as that.
