Deep_Thought Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 hello take a look here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294498-amd-r9-270-problem/?do=findComment&comment=1975032 anyway u should enable the graphics in the usual way editing the kext good hack Does this method apply to the R9 290X as well? As far as I can see the thread you linked to dealt with problems on a R9 270. These are just re-labelled Radeon 7xxx. The 290(X) is a different GPU architecture (Hawaii). I am not sure if those are supported in any way in Mavericks by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaBrd Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm not all all sure that 10.9.2 has drivers for Hawaii (r9 290x/290). My R9 290 has a device id: 0x67b11002 In AMDRadeonX4000.kext I found a device id: 0x67b01002 in the Hawaii section. This device id isn't present in AMD7000Controller.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This device id isn't present in AMD7000Controller.kext i added the device id but i need a framebuffer name and a framebuffer set up before i can get a kext loaded to make the device work if anyone can provide me with that info from it's bios i can make the 290x work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 well, you sure that not is a problem with the caches and permissions? you can try extract .rom vgabios, and rename and add UseAtiRom=Yes to the boot plist, install the kext lspci.kext and run this: then post here, and a Darwin Dumper report, you can use GPUZ to .rom vgabios ioreg | grep ATY sudo kextstat | grep AMD lspci -nnvd 0x1002: | grep -B2 Subsystem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha.delta Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 AMD R9 r290x work with Mavericks but not ce/qe support. Use Clover and Use FakeID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray_454 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I built a hackintosh with dual 280x a while ago. One card burned up, more or less (after one month of 24/7 mining it just stopped working). I got it replace on warranty for a 290x, but now when booting with the 290x installed (all monitor connected to the 280x board) OS X freezes about 10-20 seconds after booting to desktop. Console shows some errors with CI, so probably graphics related (GPU shows up as "unknown" in system info). Is there any way to disable the gpu completely until compatible drivers appear, to be able to boot without physically removing the card? Also, alpha.delta, what FakeID are you using? It's my understanding the the current drivers offer no Hawaii support at all, so even if you trick the OS into using the standard ATI driver, it wouldn't work at all. Hoping for hawaii support in 10.9.2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray_454 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Update: Installed 10.9.2 today and tried the 290X - OS X still only recognizes it as "Unknown" in system profiler. It does not freeze anymore when booting with the 290x connected (always something), but it seems the 10.9.2 drivers are not supporting the Hawaii chip yet. Tried adding the device ID to the AMD kexts, but that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechGuru Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 10.9.3 is a no go for the 290x yet but will keep you updated if anything changes might email apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmybikedrunk Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 **Fingers Crossed** - at least we got 4K at 60hz finally for displays other than the sharp/asus. MacBook Pro Retina 750M users should be happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setura Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If anyone can get the card to work, I'll happily buy two and see how well they can work together with Final Cut pro X on my hackintosh. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Dev Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It's been there for a while. Has nothing to do with the drivers. It's the bios on the card that is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
