:guitar:  :guitar:  :guitar: [uPDATE END OF JULY 2017]  :guitar:  :guitar:  :guitar:

 

macOS 10.12.5/6 Sierra and 10.13 Beta 

 

Good news finally! 

Lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext (plugin) solved the "polaris issue" known for black screen at login. 

You can find more informations about these 2 kexts here ---> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321371-lilu-%E2%80%94-kext-and-process-patcher/

In a nutshell: put these 2 kexts in EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/10.12 or 10.13 and don't inject anything via Clover or DSDT or SSDT and your RX series card will work smooth like butter.  

iGPU primary or helper card are no longer needed ;)

[uPDATE 06/07/2017]

 

macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta1

 

- Topic title edited in order to regroup all new topic(s)/discussion(s) into this one

- I let the liberty to TS to remove all this nonsense that I just wrote.   :P

- RX470 RX480 RX570 RX580 Full support by kexts and controllers, helper card or iGPU primary are still needed

 

Thanks for the update ;)

 

[uPDATE 11/1/2016]

 

MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 Beta1 and Beta2

 

- RX480/470: No official support*, there aren't changes in X4100 kext;

- Dayman and Guariba FBs are still incomplete in the AMD9500Controller kext;

- RX460: same as before - iGPU (or 2nd GPU) primary and cable swap after clover boot.

 

 

[uPDATE 10/27/2016]

 

Apple Event

 

Mac Book Pro with AMD Radeon PRO line: http://creators.radeon.com/radeon-pro/

3 new GPUs based on Polaris 11 4th generation GCN.

This new line explains why there are 3 Device IDs in the X4100 kext: 67e0, 67ef, 67ff.

[uPDATE 10/24/2016]

 

MacOS Sierra 10.12.1 - RX480/470 No official support* - RX460 kinda works as before (iGPU or 2nd GPU as primary graphics)

 

 

[uPDATE 9/22/2016]

 

MacOS Sierra DP1,DP2,DP3 10.12.1 - RX480/470 No official support* - RX460 and Baffin family has now a dedicated kext: AMDRadeonX4100.kext

 

*Forcing the ID 67FF, via DSDT without touching the kext X4100, and using the iGPU as primary it's now possible to have a "good" acceleration on the RX470/480 (Still not a good solution)

 

DSDT INJECTION:

 

Device (GFX0)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_SUN, One)
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x12)

[uPDATE 9/14/2016]

 

MacOS Sierra 10.12 GM 16A322 - RX480/470 No official support - RX460 "Sort of" support

 

Good news!

10.12 has a new AMD controller kext:

 

AMD9500Controller.kext:

 

D2CDHoG.png

 

 

 

67E0 1002 = Baffin Polaris 11 - RX460 (fully supported)   "Sort of" support, still needs iGPU as primary and blind boot on Developer Beta 8 

67FF 1002 = Polaris 11 ??

67C0 1002 = Ellesmere Polaris 10 - NO Support yet

67DF 1002 = Polaris RX480 (only ID) - No Support yet

 

Even with the new 9500 controller, there isn't support yet because the AMDRadeonX4100.kext has only the Baffin's (Polaris 11) section supported (sort of). 

We can only wait Apple's development and see what will happen. 

 

 

RX480/470's possible Frame Buffers in AMD9500Controller.kext: 

 

DAYMAN - Status: INCOMPLETE

GUARIBA - Status: INCOMPLETE

 

RX460 possible Frame Buffers in AMD9500Controller.kext:

 

ACRE - Status: FULL??

Let's hope there's decent (if any) support for crossfire configurations...

 

If you mean actual Crossfire, then no. That never has happened before and I doubt it will here.

 

You only use Crossfire for gaming, so either boot into Windows for gaming (where performance is better anyway), or get a single, more powerful card for OS X gaming.

 

 

I hope someone posts in this thread soon with verification of the RX 480 working in 10.12!

Double GFX's power computing with OpenCL apps will work.

so, anybody tested if this works?? which version of the RX480 should I get?? 4GB or 8GB for best compatibility?? also, will it work on El Capitan if we copy the kext?

 
8 or 4 gb that's not a problem, personally i haven't tested it yet. (i'm waiting for AMD reply on the power issue)
Copying kext from differents OS isn't properly the best choice, Sierra will eventually have Polaris support, we have to be patients and wait.

Yeah, I'm waiting for non reference cards too with 8-pin power supply connector. Should be within 2-4 weeks and by then somebody will hopefully test it and report in here.

Non reference has a weird ports configuration: 2 x HDMI, 2 x DP, 1 DVI... i predict lot of headaches LOL

With DP2 output is working on all three DPs and the HDMI-Port, but no acceleration for 0x67DF1002. Adding DeviceID to Baffin-Family IOMatch does the trick für Fiji (aka Fury) but not for RX 480. 

 

Have you rebuilt prelinked kernel after adding the ID in the kext?

Do you mind to post an attachment of an IOREG save file?

AMD RX 480 8GB can boot on macOS Sierra Public Beta

But no QE/CI.

 

Need patch AMD9500 kext ?

can't wait for updates here in this thread :) I am planning to buy either the RX480 or the GTX1060. I definitely will wait until customs designs of the RX480 will be released. But Ciro is right - alternative output ports on customs cards might create a lot of headaches. I try to avoid those since I had enough of them with my MSI R9 270X :/
