zafirofx Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi everybody. I can't install my graphics card on my Hackintosh. I've tried several methods and no one of them work, when I go to the tab "About this Mac" it says on Display that I have a 3MB screen and I don't have 1920x1080 resolution.I'm a beginner here in the Hackintosh world so please be patient with me. Hope you can help me. Thank you. Also I'm uploading my Clover folder.

Cyberdevs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi there and welcome to InsanelyMac What is the exact model of your AMD GPU? In general you can use one of the following solutions to activate your GPU: 1. Use Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext you need to put them in your Clover folder inside the EFI partition under the "Kext Folders" in regard to the version of the macOS that you are using. This is the easies way. Remember you should not Inject ATI and a Framebuffer if you want to use Lilu and WhateverGreen solution. 2. You can use the RadeonDeInt=Ture if you have the Black Screen Issues (which is highly likely with AMD Radeon 7xxx Series, only few models don't have this issues) 3. Use a Patched DSDT or use a SSDT for your specific GPU model which needs more advanced skills. P.S You need to make sure that your GPU is supported in macOS otherwise it won't work with none of the solutions I just posted. To determine whether it is supported or not you need to know the device ID for your GPU.

Cyberdevs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 The good news is that the device id is present in AMDController7000.kext so you can use lilu and whatevergreen to have full support for your GPU. That’s the easiest way.

To be honest your EFI folder is a mess You have almost every kext available and I'm not sure why.

Cyberdevs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 try this clover folder, just make sure you have a backup of your existing EFI folder before changing anything just in case. It's better to use a bootable USB flash drive for these test.

Nope, I still have 1020x768 resolution and in properties it says that I have a 3MB Screen. In Windows I have a 1920x1080 resolution and my GPU has 1GB of VRAM.

Cyberdevs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 You can try to delete the kextcache and cleanup a prelinkedkernel cache. There is a link to an App in my signature use it and then reboot the hackintosh and see if that makes a difference.

Cyberdevs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yup, that's pretty much it, It will delete the nvram, the kextcache and the prelinkedkernel and once it's done you'll be asked to reboot.
