jamiethemorris Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here you go. A couple of things are not mentioned in that post, which is that the DSDT also needs a DTGP patch for the 270x patch to work, and the old GFX0 device needs to be renamed to IGPU.

Thank you ill give it a try , Im going to install 10.9.3 fresh 1st and take it from there . Jees for a card thats supposed to work OOB its puzzle indeed LOL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300763-xfx-r9-270x-need-some-help/#findComment-2060536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 AMD Radeon cards rarely work OOB. Correct framebuffer is needed, or even connector patching to enable all output ports Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300763-xfx-r9-270x-need-some-help/#findComment-2060573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyboy Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 ive tried just about everything with this card and nothing seems to work if i boot normal its gets stuck just about when desktop should appear if i boot with -v -f it loads fine but no driver gets loaded if i boot with -x then driver loads fine but its safe boot so no good any idea ? . motherboard is Z77 DS3H ( crossfire ) when its booting i can see that it finds ATI cape verde for HDMI audio so it obviously recognises card and all ID`s Ive tried 10.9 10.9.1 10.9.2 10.9.3 10.9.4 now 10.9.5 all giving same results Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300763-xfx-r9-270x-need-some-help/#findComment-2062433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 As I said, try framebuffer patching. Normally OS X's default framebuffer don't work with your card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300763-xfx-r9-270x-need-some-help/#findComment-2062438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
