Hello I have a AMD FirePro w5100 4GB video card that I have been able to get working on a MacPro 5.1

with OSX 10.13 by adding the device id 0x10026649 to the kext of AMD8000Controller.kext and AMDRadeon4000.kext.

 

The video card works fine in OSX 10.13 and is listed as a AMD Radeon 8xxx video card and displays all the correct info  when I compare it to the mfg specs listed.

 

 

 

My question I have a black boot screen until osx loads, but right before it loads into the desktop it show the white screen without the apple logo as if it initializes the card. Is there any way to flash the efi on this card or modify it by spoofing device ID to a similar card? I've been looking around for a month and haven't figured out anything.

 

Here's the bios info for my card. Also I've attached a copy of my rom file dumped from GPUZ to this thread. Please let me know if theres any info I can provide. Thank you!  :)

Of course you won't have a boot screen, if the card doesn't has an EFI ROM for mac.

 

I realize that it won't have a boot screen because of the missing mac efi rom. That's why I'm asking if there is a way to add a mac efi rom to this card. Not sure if the card being UEFI means anything. Here's a GPUZ screenshot of a more detail description of the card.

I used an easy clover inject for 10.15 catalina

Devices-Fake ID-ATI-0x665C1002

Check Inject ATI

No need to fill other boxes.

Geekbench 5 score:

OpenCL 14443

METAL 17002

I would say it's a reasonable score.
