jnolla Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Seems like High Sierra Beta 3 is fully working for RX580 and Vega, without any patches and no IGPU! I have both, and will be posting screenshots shortly! OK so during installation you can definitely tell the RX580 is fully supported. After installation is completed it goes black. This is no patches or helper gpu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnolla Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Interesting findings on what is been loaded against what is defined on the KEXT. I'm not sure why the correct KEXT is not loading. Wonder if there is a way to force it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomnic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 RX 480 by XFX here, only black screen after install... sigh! Waiting for more and more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigamaxx Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 RX 480 by XFX here, only black screen after install... sigh! Waiting for more and more Since the RX 4xx-5xx series are used by apple for iMac and MacBooks they utilize Intel IGPU or CPU graphics so we probably won't get rid of the helper card or IGPU requirement. The Vega cards will be going into the X299 Intel so IGPU may not be an issue in the drivers for mackintosh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vega cards will be going into the X299 Intel so IGPU may not be an issue in the drivers for mackintosh. Funny thing is that I used only the RX580 to do the install, and it worked. No IGPU or patches needed. I deleted all AMD related files from boot drive, and added only the KEXT found on the installer base image, and it works, but no metal acceleration. Main difference is the buffer files are not there on the installer base image. I'm wondering if it is simply using the wrong FB name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Very interesting... need to investigate this!!! Since the RX 4xx-5xx series are used by apple for iMac and MacBooks they utilize Intel IGPU or CPU graphics so we probably won't get rid of the helper card or IGPU requirement. The Vega cards will be going into the X299 Intel so IGPU may not be an issue in the drivers for mackintosh. But they work flawlessly in a real MacPro, without any kind of helper card or iGpu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnolla Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ok, so I can confirm all ports are working on Vega OOB with full metal support on my ASUS Maximus IX Z270 with 7700k. No patches and iGPU! I'm not sure what is going on with the X99 and the ports not working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course the screen goes black first time you load MacOS... Please edit the title, since the RX580 isn't "fully working". I'm really annoyed about these wrong statements guys ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ignore silly threads, you'll be fine. jnolla, what you think about work on GIGABYTE Z170XP-SLi? I've confirm on z270, and there is another user confirming z170. I don't see a reason why not, but can't be 100% certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciro82 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I just can't ignore wrong informations. There are many users that are buying RX480 and RX580 because they read your posts, thinking that the card is actually FULLY WORKING on high Sierra.... which of course is not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok nevermind, you can continue writing wrong informations, i don't care, the RX4xx and RX5xx series still doesn't work without iGPU or helper card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max.1974 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hi jnolla, where you buy your Vega? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hi guys, I agree with @Ciro82 The installation of macOS and macOS High Sierra doesn't require any helper card for the AMD cards that have the black screen issue, the problem starts when you boot the installed version of the OS. The installer doesn't require acceleration or any framebuffer not for AMD nor for Intel that's why you can load the installer without an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a false positive guys, no evil mastermind plan behind it. VEGA is fully supported, so I'm glad I can share the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great that Vega works and you shared that info thanks for that. But correcting the title won't do you any harm and will reduce further confusions IMHO. There are lots of people whom might make a decision based on the info we produce here so its better that we be accurate, as much as possible. It's just a friendly suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you the many times something works for someone, and it doesn't for others.
