Derek12 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm planning to buy this card, has anyone tried it or similar cards based on R7 240 on Hacks?. I've search here and found nothing. I know I can return it but I would want to know it in advance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vusun123 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Use bcc9's radeon bios decoder please, redsock doesn't give you sense ID and some other infomation which is very important. Combine both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vusun123 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Do you have qe/ci working with this card using Chameleon ? If so then I will take a look at this tonight Edit: This card seems to be a renamed version of a 7xxx GPU am I correct ? Edit 2: Here's it is, use Clover: Connector Data: 000400000403000000010101120404010004000004030000000102012205050204000000140200000001030000000606 Connector Patch: 000800000402000000010000100001020400000014020000000100002001020110000000100000000001000000100308 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertX Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Radeon R7 240 Specifications This card is available in two memory variants: 1GB GDDR5 and 2GB DDR3. The first one is clocked at effective 4600 MHz, while the other is running at 1800 MHz. Both models use 128-bit memory interface. Also both cards are clocked at 730 MHz. This the actual clock speed of the Radeon HD 8570, the OEM model you have probably never heard of.(I hadn't anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiethemorris Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you're using Clover, you can use this as an ATI FakeID: 0x66401002 I just picked the first device id in the kext, I don't think it matters which one you use for a Fake ID. Obviously it will only work in Yosemite since Mavs doesn't have AMD8000. Otherwise, you could try adding 0x66131002 to AMD8000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext and see if that gets you QE/CI. Obviously there's no guarantees though, so I would get a card that's better supported and has been used by multiple people already. An NVidia GT 640 or GT 740 is around the same price range and both are plug and play, without graphics injector or anything. Same ports as the R7 240 also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here (in Spain at least) the r7 240 is fairly cheaper, the cheapest GT640-based is about 82€ ($107) and the GT740 costs 94€ ($123) the Asus R7 240 is for about 66€ ($86) But if it's so straightforward, maybe I could get the GT 640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek12 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Finally I will get the GT610, still low end but more powerful than the 5450. Does it work on Hackintosh OOTB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vusun123 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Too bad you can't stick to Radeon GPU. It's fun although it can be bitter sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek12 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Too bad you can't stick to Radeon GPU. It's fun although it can be bitter sometimes Yeah I planned to buy it later this year but my 5450 died, my IGP doesn't work with OSX, and I had to buy a "emergency" card (the GT610), still it's way better than my previous 5450. I can finally play Wolfenstein the New Order without watching a slideshow lol . Fortunately it worked OOTB but I am detecting some issues on OSX (low performance, memory underclocked to 270MHz even on load, etc). I will post it later on Yos forum!

vusun123 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Low performance is AGPM's issue. See rampage dev's site for more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek12 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Low performance is AGPM's issue. See rampage dev's site for more Thank you, I will check,In OSX, the GPU core clock scales correctly between low and high performance depending on load but Memory clock is stuck at 270 MHz (maybe sensor issue?), in Windows, it scales between 400 and 667.
