aaaaustin122 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hello. I've been Hackintoshing for about a year now, so I thought I knew my ins and outs of Hackintoshing. But that reign of self confidence has been struck down as of late. I can't seem to get my MSI R9 280X 3GB Gaming to work right with Yosemite. Spec list as follows: CPU AMDFX 8350 MOBO GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 RAM: 8GB (irrelevant) GPU: MSI R9 280X 3G Gaming... I've been running this Machine on a Mavericks distro since I got into Hackintoshing, so I thought I'd step it up and completely wipe my drive and install Yosemite. I was successfully able to boot to installer and install with custom kernel, flags and booted after install. But after booting the graphics performance is just dreadful. I tried the old kexts I used from Mavericks but only made it worse. I've ran out of ideas and Google just wasn't working for me. So I came for help here. I am stuck and in need. I've read that the 270X's have framebuffer problems I don't know if this is what that is. I'm willing to add more information to help someone out. Thanks in advance. Hope to hear back.

0000-1248 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hey mate, I just fixed my R9 270X issues by patching a framebuffer. You may not have to go to that extreme for an R9 280X, but if you do I will be happy to help as the process will be nearly the same. First, though, try using the existing framebuffers that come with OS X.

need to put it in the appropriate place in the 'Graphics' tab of Clover Configurator. I have seen Hamachi to be recommended for the 280X, but experiment and see. Hope I could help, - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
