Hi,

 

My Sapphire r9 290 Dual X works very well on Yosemite but just in 1080p with DVI and HDMI on a native SONY 4K TV.

I have patched the kernel kext with clover according to dumps , chose the Baladi Framebuffer and use the ATI fake Id to R9 290X, all done thanks to clover and your advice

On Windows 8 I can obtain native 4K resolution using an HDMI cable.

Is it normal ? Can I obtain a 4K resolution with DP HDMI adapter using the DP from the graphic card?

 

Thanks

Good afternoon friends, I need your expertise and help.

I have a r9 290 (0x67B11002) card and took several days reading, watching and trying everything there and future.

If I boot the system without quite touching anything, the computer tells me I have a graph of 8MB.

But if I start to play and put everything I've seen the thread, fake id 0X67B11002, framebuffer, etc, etc, the most I get is that recognizes me that is a R9 290/390, but I still indicating that it has 8 MB RAM and I can not do QE / CI to work.

Someone can give me a help, please?

 

Bootloader is clover.

I made exatctly what you wrote, but not works correctly. I see only Apple software renderer in cinebench. Almost every app got glitches. Asus R9 290 Yosemite 10.10.5

Cant even play youtube vids because the video controls are flashing. Any idea whats wrong?

think I found out something crucial!

 

I have an Asus R9 290 DC II, which was a total {censored} while trying to use OSx. However, I downloaded Olarila's USB image and tried to install with that.

In Clover, I'm using Inject Ati, 0x67B01002 as FakeID and $ Baladi as framebuffer.

 

Now this is the crucial part. If I include the $ before the FB I can boot. If I don't? No boot.

 

I have absolutely no idea what this character means (sudo related?) but for my card, it's the big difference between OSx or no OSx.

 

My card works in both Yosemite and El Capitan without any issues. Gets recognized as an AMD Radeon 8xxx with 4096mb of VRAM.

 

I really hope this is something that helps out you guys :)

Sorry to break the bad news but adding $ in front Of the FB name just means the FB doesnt load and you end up using the radeonframebuffer which is default and not Baladi it also turns off ATIinject so really you did nothing but load default FB
