makiwara Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello All, Context: I have a old build with a decently recent graphic card under High Sierra i5 3rd gen 16 GB DDR3 RX 560 4GB 4K Samsung display on display port Mother board H77n-wifi My graphic configuration Lilu kext (last version) Whatevergreen kext (last version) -rad4200 parameter on boot Globally everything runs fine but when I tried the unigine Heaven benchmark I have poor performance (22fps on the extreme setup) and streamed videos (mostly youtube) are laggy on Firefox (only not on Chrome). Question Can my issue come from my old motherboard / CPU or it is an issue with my configuration ? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makiwara Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 There you are. For the record. I've unselected the RadeonDeInit because it was not needed and the problems were there before I unselect this option.

mitch_de Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Beside real probs with your AMD it can also be probs with that heaven Benchmark & AMDs! Heaven is old and its possible that newer AMD gpus have probs with it and you have not an general problem. Only if you find other heaven bench values (same bench settings!) and! same AMD RX ... gpu which are much better (more than 10%, because cpu speed does matter in OpenGL also = fastest i7 Rev 6/7 may get 10-15% better OpenGL values same GPU), it can be an problem with your AMD setting. You can try GPU Test Furmark - real good & reliable bench and compare ist to my AMD RX 460 i5 3550 value. I have only 1680x1050 so also use same settings in the bench setup as screenshoot. I get 41 FPS. RX 560 is 5-10% faster than my RX 460. RX 560D version is same. GpuTest_OSX_x64_0.7.0.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makiwara Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Actually playing from the command line I've succeeded in launching the benchtest Playing with different modes : - 1680x1050 Windowed (fullscreen at this resolution was not working) - 2560x1440 - Retina mode full screen - 3840x2160 - Fullscreen I've got worst performance anycase @MaLd0n with custom SSDT and New DSDT performance are still {censored} poor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiwara Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 BTW, I've just noticed that my card appears as Radeon Pro 560 4GB iso RX 560 4GB. Could it be a problem from VBIOS ? Or ID injection is needed ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 OK, For you to compare i run furmark also in windowed mode 1680x1050 = 44 FPS. (Powercolour RX 460, LILU+WEG, i5-3350P 3,1 GHz, GA-Z77 MB, Clover generates Pstates/Cstates) geekbench4 CPU values for you to compare if there is an bottleneck which also would reduce OpenGL speed. But that that happen your Geekbench CPU would have to be more than 30% slower than mine. PS: I would remove the Fakesmc AMD sensor kext from Clover/others because it (as this time) isnt working full (at least no Clock speed) perhaps it slows down GPU. Slice working on new HWMONITOR (with own FakeSMC) but until now only AMD gpu temp can be sensored. The Clock, which may help also to find out an gpu slowdown - gpu doesnt run full speed - is not ready (hard to find out which registers must be accessed ro read that).

makiwara Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks Mitch. I'll try tonight the geekbench without FakeSMC AMD sensor kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I think if AMD sensor is problem, then you will see it only in OpenGL Speed. CPU speed will be not infected. But good you have now a bas (CPU Speed of my i5 3 gen CPU) & OpenGL futuremark for further tests and also MaLd0n hints (an DSDT hero!!) Check also latest WEG (1.1.4) version. PS: -rad4200 (came up with WEG 1.1.3 version) to choose X4200 driver over X4250 for 0x67DF, 0x67EF, 0x67FF - i think only make sense for High Sierra. Sierra - i use - doesnt have X4250.kext driver so -rad4200 is useless for Sierra because it only have and uses X4200 driver. My system running Sierra ( i have HS .2 version also but will not use it until perhaps .4 version is out - for me to many bugs) WhateverGreen.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiwara Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ok so here is my geekbench test for CPU. So it doesn't explain the poor performance. I've removed FakeSMC GPU and it is not changing anything for GpuTest I've already the 1.1.4 version of whatevergreen and actually I've already tried with and without -rad4200 and it doesnot change anything for the performance. So is it only because High Sierra is {censored} ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiwara Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 For the record I've tried changing my SMBIOS to newer setup : no change. Oddly enough : the geekbench GPU score is around 70 000 which in the average of the other RX 560. So there must be a bug somewhere in the current kext for AMD The kext loaded. Is this normal to have all the AMDRadeonX4xx0 loaded when I should only load AMDRadeonX4200 ? 118 0 0xffffff7f8634c000 0x12000 0x12000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4000HWServices (1.6.0) 31741979-9408-3D2B-A7A4-E36F41355B73 <93 12 11 7 5 4 3 1> 125 3 0xffffff7f817bd000 0x1db000 0x1db000 com.apple.kext.AMDSupport (1.6.0) 441E3318-2B41-3EC8-95CA-7A098B2801F5 <94 93 12 11 7 5 4 3 1> 129 0 0xffffff7f819b5000 0x64000 0x64000 com.apple.kext.AMD9500Controller (1.6.0) 74FE706C-076A-3302-9D0D-12846730C210 <125 94 93 12 11 5 4 3 1> 134 0 0xffffff7f8492e000 0x1df000 0x1df000 com.apple.kext.AMD9520Controller (1.6.0) D9FC7DDF-B023-333B-9909-CE33488114D0 <125 94 93 12 11 5 4 3 1> 135 0 0xffffff7f84bf6000 0x76e000 0x76e000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4100 (1.6.0) EE83803D-550F-3430-8545-290FD5FECB80 <114 113 93 12 7 5 4 3 1> 137 0 0xffffff7f83b6f000 0x76d000 0x76d000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4150 (1.6.0) DF336AB9-8300-3ED2-AAD3-7D2C8F4B8DEB <114 113 93 12 7 5 4 3 1> 138 0 0xffffff7f82894000 0x825000 0x825000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4200 (1.6.0) 4F00D99A-B2E2-3AA0-8AF2-B24ED09ED974 <114 113 93 12 7 5 4 3 1> 145 0 0xffffff7f85483000 0xebb000 0xebb000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4000HWLibs (1.0) 3C32D46D-50AD-352E-BB49-38D76B7F08F1 <12 5 4 3 1> 146 0 0xffffff7f81b78000 0x84f000 0x84f000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4250 (1.6.0) BE3FD082-A557-3556-B357-EDD2DFC63E7A <114 113 93 12 7 5 4 3 1> 151 0 0xffffff7f84408000 0x28000 0x28000 com.apple.kext.AMDFramebuffer (1.6.0) 74616066-E134-31AD-AEE8-40BB1420567B <125 93 12 11 7 5 4 3 1> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yep, normal for HS i think, was same as i tried HS with my Radeon. I am now, after your tests sure, that your little less than possible gpu speed (OpenGL) comes by the HS AMD drivers which may not be ideal for the gpu type. Perhaps it get better in later HS updates. I stay at Sierra - for me over all better that HS today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiwara Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 looking at whatevergreen FAQ it seems that Support of High Sierra is not guaranted they suggest to have a UEFI VBIOS @mitch_de : Do you know if you have a UEFI VBIOS as well ?

mitch_de Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think all RX 4/5 GPUs have UEFI VBIOS - only older GPUs may have not. EDIT: I booted my HS Install (all day use: Sierra) - got near same results RX 460 as with Sierra in Furkmark 1680x1050 = 43 FPS. So slower in HS must be RX 560 special OR perhaps due vendor specifilc (MSI vs others). Can you boot Sierra and check if RX 560 runs better? If yes, HS isnt really needed this time.
