1Some of R7 and R9 GPUs requires spoofing. More info here.
2NVIDIA's GPU support is complicated. You can find more info here and here.
All motherboards should be supported out of the box.
For the most part, all SATA based drives are supported and the majority of NVMe drives as well. Updating storage firmware should fix any problems. Using Intel Optane Memory or micron 3D XPoint are unsupported in macOS.
Intel NICs (82578, 82579, I217, I218 and I219) are supported. To use other NICs you must use a different kexts.
Fenvi T919 wireless card works out of the box without any kexts and supports features like AirDrop, Continuity etc.
