ninsanelymac Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 i have a hybrid bios that has unlocked voltage and sapphire tri-x oc clocks and a custom fancurve built in so my gou never goes over 75c max load That's a pretty good idea. I'll have to find a tutorial on that!

jamiethemorris Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 My case is to small for two cards. If the situation does not change in the coming weeks, I will sell the card and wait for an alternative. I jumped to fast on unsupported hardware, will not happen again Keeping an eye one the 980/970, but hey seem to have similar problems. My 980 works on all ports except HDMI. 4 display outputs is still quite enough for me though. Later this week I will be attempting to get HDMI working with NVCAP. Most 980s (and a lot of the 970s, including the Gigabyte one) it seems the only port that doesn't work is the HDMI.

tokugawamac Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Apologies if this is a silly question, but does anyone know if the new Catalyst Omega drivers in Windows affect anything hardware/firmware-wise (i.e. could it affect compatibility on the OS X side)? I noticed on the release notes it says: This driver is not intended for use on AMD products running in Apple Boot Camp platforms. Users of these platforms should contact their manufacturer for driver support Maybe the new drivers are just not compatible with the GPUs that normally come with real macs? Anyway, thanks!

Awesome Donkey Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's still pretty hopeless. DVI-DL works for me, but I have to manually sleep/wake on the login window. Perhaps there's a way to automatically do this?

Awesome Donkey Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've tried the different framebuffers Ultimatebadass posted in Clover and none of them work for DVI-DL even though the framebuffers *should* be correct after analyzing and comparing to my own results. I'm beginning to wonder if this just isn't a bug in 10.10.0/10.10.1. I'm waiting for 10.10.2.

MattsCreative Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3y5hldpEFDYOXdQTDFlMWJtejA/view?usp=sharing i binary patched the 8000 kext all you need for clover is inject ati with the frambuffer name it works on 10.10.1 and 10.10.2 for people using oz after installing the kext go into term and type sudo nvram 1F8E0C02-58A9-4E34-AE22-2B63745FA101:AtiFramebuffer=Baladi then reboot you will have two monitors working with the framebuffer loaded to have a 3rd monitor use your igpu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/297728-r9-290x-help-for-mavericks/page/14/#findComment-2101074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Donkey Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The modified kext kinda works. But there's tons of graphical corruption and overall laggy performance, especially with boot and moving the mouse.

Neo.Luxembourg Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi again. Just wanted to ask if you guys have problems running the 290X on a single screen.

Awesome Donkey Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My only experience is with DVI-DL, which glitches upon start. Toggling sleep 'fixes' it though.

Awesome Donkey Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Unfortunately (and not surprisingly) the patch doesn't do anything for me. Why oh why did I have to choose the 290X with the custom PCB?!? Maybe it's time I concede and just buy a damn Nvidia card.
