Today my new SAPPHIRE NITRO RX480 8GB gfx-card arrived and i will start testing under SIERRA beta4.

So far i can say for now: card gets detected with full RAM - but not accellerated, cause AMD4000Support.kext won't get loaded. Running it here with DELL DP 4k Monitor and SAMSUNG FullHD TV. Both running eith patched Framebuffer DAYMAN and BERBICE (AMD9500Controller.kext). Device-ID is 1002 - 67DF, BIOS Version is 015.050.000.000 0000.

Card is very fast and totally quiet. It has two DP 1.4 ports, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and one DVI port. It has a metal backplane and two 9 inch fans (which are running quiet and smooth), idle temp is about 36° C, highest temp i got with prime test was around 82° C.

 

Will make more test within the next days... so stay tuned for updated information.

 

Update 08-02-2016:

 

Experiencing with Framebuffers - so far i have tested DAYMAN, BERBICE and CARONI.

DAYMAN matches perfect for "txmit" and "enc" - also for HotPlugID and senseid. BUT: i cant get DP and HDMI connection work together. Whatever i tried so far: only one display will work.

Same when not providing a framebuffer and using RadeonFrameBuffer - allways just one display will work. But this may be the term, that the SAPPHIRE NITRO RX480 doen't match the AMD ReferenceCard for the ports: ReferenceCard uses 3 DP and just 1 HDMI port, while NITRO uses 2 DP, 2 HDMI and 1 DVI-D port.

 

Also no luck so far to get accelleration work properly. Changed info.plist setting from AMDRadeonX4000.kext from:

<string>0x67E01002 0x67FF1002 0x67EF1002</string>

to:

<string>0x67E01002 0x67FF1002 0x67DF1002</string>

to match the RX480 device-id (67DF-1002) - but still no luck. Kext still get not loaded  :-(

 

Anyway, the card works perfect under WINDOWS10: very fast, very stable, totally silent and temperatures also verry low.

Will continue my tests to get fully supported under SIERRA DP4 - but for today i am done. Will keep you informed, if i make further success.

The Nitro has a weird port configuration which doesn't match Guariba and Dayman FBs..

 

Can this be confirmed problem for the other RX480 models as well, including the reference model?

The reference matches the FB ports configuration :)

Great, then we're at least on the safe side with the reference. Wish Nitro somehow had the reference PCB, I kind of like the Nitro.

finally i got my two monitors work together with Framebuffer OPM:

            <dict>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Framebuffer OPM</string>

                <false/>
                <key>Find</key>

            </dict>

Now my DELL U3415W and my SAMUNG TV could be used simultaneously (both conneccted via DisplayPort - SAMSUNG is connected via Displayport-to-HDMI cable to a DENON X4000 Receiver):Systeminformation_Displays.png

but still no accelleration, cause ADMRadeon4000.kext still didn't load (even when patched):

Systeminformation_Erweiterungen.png

but i am still working on it.

PS: still no sound via HDMI, and i think it is because of failed AMDRadeon4000.kext.
