Strange   :huh:

 

Maybe all what that is confirming is that the Polaris 10 (Ellesmere) support will be only enabled through Baffin accelerator?

 

I'm tempted to believe it.  :yes:

 

It will be even strange that baffins drives an ellesmere GPU tho

I agree

 

Then just lets hope Apple will add the native support in future Sierra minors updates.  -_-

 

I'm pretty sure Apple is hiding the new iMac, and it will add full Baffin and Ellesmere support only after the new iMac release.

We'll see on September 7 at the keynote but I doubt we see this new iMac in the code of GM - Maybe in 10.12.2 or 10.12.3???

Same here:

This looks like a non signed kext issue

 

Update:

I tried signing the kext that you uploaded, (because I can lol) but there is some errors in the binaries 

 

codesign says my main executable failed strict validation.

Could someone try this kext and post results please

Not working w/o IGPU... but working with IGPU.

Tested with my Sapphire RX480 NITRO 8GB (67DF1002). w/o IGPU still getting blackscreen after verbose mode. Hooked up to the card ist still one DP and one HDMI monitor.

 

Kext get loaded in conjunction with IGPU set to be primary gfx:

Do you have hardware acceleration now? Also is this on a real mac or a hack?

in conjunction with IGPU i have hardware acceleration also with the original kext.

but not working without IGPU.

 

so for me it makes no difference if using your kext or original one.

From your sig specs you must be using iMac 17,1 SMBIOS which from my research only loads the R9 3xx Series drivers without a iGPU, so this could be an issue. I ordered a Sapphire NITRO+ RX 480 8Gb myself and will be here in 3 days, will try it out in my real Mac Pro 5,1 and post results.

No, not true. Right now i am using MacPro 5,1 as my SMBIOS settings within my config.plist. And this is not the problem, cause i tried a lot of SMBIOS-settings: iMac13,1 - iMac14,1 - iMac14,2 - iMac16 - iMac17,1 - MacBook10,1 - MacPro 5,1 and MacPro 6,1. Alle settings have been shown the same effect: only works with iGPU set to primary.

 

Also you can see, that Dev.id 67EF1002 could be found within the baffincode of binary - but 67DF1002 would not be found.

i did this already: the value should be found 6 or seven times (didn't remember). But it had no effects. Still not running native.


Look, there is much more BAFFIN code within AMDRadeonX4000 than ELLESMERE:

 

BAFFIN

ELLESMERE

ellesmere_code.jpg

so it seems, the concentration of apple is more on BAFFIN code, than on ELLESMERE. Maybe new MacBooks will have RX460m as dedicated Grafik

And i guess, ELLESMERE is using main code routine functions from BUFFIN for Acceleration.

 

For me it seems, that Buffin will make the main Acceleration, and the included ELLESMERE code is only for "finetuning" values for Ellesmere-based hardware. You can see this, because right now, no "AMDEllesmereGraphicsAccelration" parts could be found.

 

And always remember: in a real Apple MacPro 5,1 both cards running native (kext infoplist patching for RX480 neccesarry).


Also take a look at this (part of CLOVER 3728 bootlog):

But i have the same effects when using the "Arbitrary" routine from CLOVER. When using Arbitrary, the GRAPHIC section gets ignored. But still only working in conjunction with iGPU enabled and primary.
