Asus B360M - i3 9100F - RX 550 - Sabrent Rocket - Fenvi T919 - Ventura 13.3.1
I did the upgrade using a mix of the classic Dortania guide + Open Core Auxiliary Tools (OCAT) which is super useful to be honest.

Help me to fix config.plist file
Use this. It checks your config. Updates kext and OC. https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools

No schema(s, in description)
Your config.plist don't match with your OC version. Use OpenCoreAuxiliaryTool or ProperTree to update oc and plist.

OpenCore updating
Maybe give OCAT (https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) a try. I did a 0.7.x to 0.8.7 a while back without incident as well as just bumping to 0.8.9 the other day.

MacOS VENTURA boot error: Panic diags file unavailable (AMD Ryzen 5900X + Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P + AMD RX580)
The (test) EFI Folder for Ventura comes from the current installation for Big Sur (as told you before, it is fully working with my new RX580 card as well), with the new kernel patch applied along with the core count setting, see: https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla

Ryzentosh ~ Ventura 13.3 ~ Ryzen 5 5600x ~ RX 5600XT ~ B550 ~ OC 0.9.1 ~
When adding the AMD kernel Patches i enabled the Shaneee's fix PAT patch and disabled Algrey's This resulted on a HUGE boost on OpenCL score in Geekbench 6 (from 16600 to 56400). As a measure i took CS Go game .. before was almost playable with 60-70 FPS. After enabling Shaneee's patch FPS went up to 300 with an average 260FPS. https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla

Low Geekbench Score under macOS - RX 580 4GB
Check if you have the fix PAT patch from Shaneee enabled (and Algrey's disabled). It will improve GPU performance but don't get too fixated on scores. :) Latest AMD cpu patches here.

Make sure you are using the right kernel patches for the cpu. https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla
