MacFaulty Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 yes os x uses opencl more in the entire os and opencl is like cuda but more advanced some people wont admit it and nvidia is not very good at opencl Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated I'll then stay loyal to the 'red' camp haha. I'm just hoping that this card just works (and that this driver support stays in future versions of OS X). Some might disagree with me but just get what ever suits you more you won't see a difference in real world performance lol they are both almost the same that being said the r9 290x is a whole lot cheaper and thats what would make my mind up personally.....it also has more vram if you run at higher resolutions that's always a plus Yeah, I also thought about it, 3 vs 4GB. I made up my mind now thanks to you guys over here I kept reading and reading and just didn't understand everything and now what WarDoctor said was for me the breakthrough Thanks guys. I'll still hold off a short while, but will order the R9 290X one way or another, that's for sure I'm currently looking at this card: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2090&lid=1 as it has a UEFI vbios OOB, which makes it more attractive for me with booting Clover Hope this works though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtremeHHH Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Framebuffer edits required. It doesnt help. I've tried everything i can think of. As WarDoctor said, the drivers are halfdone. And it's still a early beta version of OS X 10.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconnactic Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Perhaps it's wiser to simply move on and focus on Yosemite, since It will be out in a couple of months and has already native support for the 290X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know whether this card boots full UEFI with Clover (as it has UEFI vbios with secure boot support, according to sapphire).

duraaraa Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Anyone find a way not to get a crash on multiple monitors? I have a mobile chip (FirePro M6100) which also requires the AMD8000Controller, and I have it working, but can't use more than one monitor. I also don't have working sleep. How is sleep working for you? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacFaulty Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Will try netkas' new package asap. Already have 10.9.3 installed on spare HDD, so it's only booting with iGPU, install pkg and reboot. Already tried my new gpu in Windows. It totally rocks! @WarDoctor: We almost have the same system lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Donkey Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Think this will work on a ASUS DirectCU II OC 290X with 10.9.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacFaulty Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 After finally having some time I can confirm that these kexts work on 10.9.4 with a Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X with UEFI GOP VBIOS (factory overclocked). Thanks netkas for doing such a great job! Think this will work on a ASUS DirectCU II OC 290X with 10.9.4?I'd be very surprised if it didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
