Differentiated System Description Table

A newly created DSDT has not been a 'must have' since the Sandy Bridge/Award BIOS hardware days. UEFI type BIOS on the motherboards changed that. There are reasons that some people will still add their own a DSDT to their build but it is not the requirement that it once was. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/there-is-no-dsdt-database-for-gigabyte-ga-p85-d3-b85-socket-1150.143082/
so from what i can gather; if your system supports UEFI - a DSDT is not an absolute requirement
