AMD r9 270 problem

daniesy · December 10, 2013

Hello!

I just got a brand new AMD R9 270 graphics card and i can't seem to make it work on Mavericks. I'm using clover as a bootloader...

I've attached a picture of the system profiler info...

Can you please help me?

Thanks a lot!

take a look in this topic:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294315-radeon-r9-270x-framebuffer-issue/

daniesy · December 10, 2013

i've read that but i don't know it if applies because mine is not 270x...

iFIRE · December 10, 2013

if the device id of your card are present in the kexts not have any problem, backup your kexts ATI, and install thi one with Kext Wizard app/repairpermisions/rebuild caches/reboot

I've tried that and it couldn't boot. It threw a memory allocation error

post DSDT an ioreg

well, the device id of your card not present in the AMDController7000.kext,,,, edit the info.plist of the kext AMDController7000.kext with your device id 68111002

In the kext AMDRadeonX4000.kext edit here with the device id of your Card : 68111002, then repair permissions reboot

Ok i did it. Now it believes my GPU is ATI 7xxx with correct memory, i still have no graphics support can't play any videos and the OS animations are choppy

iFIRE · December 11, 2013

post a Darwin Dumper report for we look where is the problem, and your config.plist

daniesy · December 11, 2013

I managed to make it work: I had to edit also the AMDRadeonX4000.kext in the same way.

Thanks iFIRE for the support

iFIRE · December 11, 2013

of course, this that I put in my above post: AMDRadeonX4000.kext edit here with your device id 68111002, then repair permissions reboot

Congratulations!!!!

Good Hack!!!

your method works kinda but not anough so i can boot http://i.imgur.com/vu5dhhb.jpg

iFIRE · December 21, 2013

disable your IGPU from bios and delete all AppleIntelHD kexts, then boot with -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No

it failed to work sorry

It looks like your boot is trying to allocate an instance of a Hawaii driver -- that would be for the r9 290/290x not the 270. Assuming you are using an r9 270 you've probably edited the kexts incorrectly -- I'd guess you put the device id into the Hawaii section rather than the Pitcairn section.

i have a 290x and was sent here by the admins to see if this method would work which is kinda does but no kext's get's loaded by the next beta of 10.9.2 i think a 290x should work as everything is needed and all the driver info is their all i have to do is make the driver load

I have my R9 270 recognized as 7xxx series with 2048MB memory, but then when i try to run any 3D application that requires OpenGL to function such as Unigine Heaven Benchmark tool or certain games, thing happens to run extremely slow at 3~5 FPS which is terrible. Is there anyone can help?

This happens to me too...

iFIRE · December 31, 2013

well, I think that this is a problem with framebuffer, can be that if you not asigne any framebuffer, the system load the default Framebubuffer. look this example for my ATI 5000 Series, I set in boot.plist mine Vervet for my card.

wtfjajaja · December 31, 2013

thank you for replying, do you mean that I need to patch the framebuffer? any simple guide where i can look from?

iFIRE · December 31, 2013

well, you can try to test other framebuffer from the list down, add in your boot.plist the flag AtiConfig=.........., conforme the output of the yours graphics, and if is needed patch the Framebuffer, and this can help too

<key>AtiConfig</key>

<string>Vervet</string> your framebuffer here

<key>AtiPorts</key>

<string>4</string> yours output video

<key>UseAtiROM</key> Extract the rom from your card and rename with your device id of your card and put in Extra. EX: mine: 1002_68B8.rom

this not important: I cannot run the lspci -nnvd 0x1002: | grep -B2 Subsystem command

like you can see, your system is using the default Framebuffer, you have tested others framebuffers from this post ? #20

I'm just wondering, if there's anyone who has R9 270 framebuffer patched successfully? I just can't make it work...

iFIRE, you've been very helpful, though. thank you!

yoda · March 3, 2014

I got 2x r9 270 in my macpro 2009 with 10.9.2.

Cinebench is 53.32

ioreg show that it is using default framebuffer.

I'm working with FCPX 10.1.1 most of the time, I've tested with BruceX and it was done in 35 sec. (was more than 160 sec with 10.9.1)

Tested also on OpenGL Extension Viewer and have 1736 with 4.1 (was less than 200 if I remember with 10.9.1)

I've modified AMD7000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext to add the card id.

Also I used ATYinjector.kext (modified)

Also on 10.9.1, it was unstable.

daniesy · March 3, 2014

Hey yoda. Can you share the kexts ? ATYinjector.kext on 10.9.2 didn't work at all. I also have a R9 270 GPU...
