I have the same GPU as you do and it needs a little bit more push to work flawlessly and here's how: 1. First remove these flags from the "Boot" section in your config.plist you don't need them anyway: nvda_drv=1 and kext-dev-mode=1 and also remove the RadeonDeInit from the "Graphics" Section 2. You need to add these flags under the Graphics section in your config.plist : Inject ATI you can also use the framebuffer Acre or just use WhateverGreen.kext+Lilu which I don't recommend 3. add the following patch under the "Kernel and Kext Patches" Name: com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy Find: BA050000 00 Replace: BA000000 00 Comment: Disable board-id check to prevent no signal If I use the framebuffer Acre for my RX 560 or the framebuffer Orinoco for my RX 580, I will get a reddish color on the menu bar and it's annoying but without the framebuffer it works good on both my RX 580 and RX 560 GPUs. I guess Asus is using a modified version of a VBIOS on their cards which ends up in this behavior. Goof Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montelli Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hi @Cyberdevs Thanks for the support, I read your answer now, but a friend told me to put next to lilu.kext also WhateverGreen.kext and leave the file config unchanged...then now the video signal is back and works properly at least I think.. why did you recommend this method here and not lilu + WhateverGreen? I await your response, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await your response, thank you Hi there, Sorry for the delay on the reply I didn't get any notifications on your posts. Lilu+WhateverGreen work fine but with a cost. WhateverGreen will affect the GPU's performance and slows it down. I did lost of benchmarks and sometimes they will differ upto 700 points in LuxMark. The patch simply changes the config map of the AGDP which is the root cause for the black screen issue on several SMBIOS settings. You can use whichever method that suits you best I just shared what I have experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montelli Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Hi @Cyberdevs, I thank you for sharing your experience and I bring back some screens ..I made benchmark OpenCL GPUs with LuxMark, four times with patches and four with whateveregreen I deleted whatevergreen but I kept lilu (for the audio I think) and I applied the patch and I did not use the Acre framebuffer I do not know where it fits, mm there does not seem to be much difference in scoring between patch and whatevergreen.. It's right? +with patch Spoiler +with wahtevergreen Spoiler Edited July 5, 2018 by Montelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right? Hi @Montelli Well it seems that there's a slight difference in the LuxMark's results but it's not that much and besides if that's not that noticeable you can use the WEG if you like it really reduces the headaches If your GPU is performing as it should you don't need to use the Acre framebuffer, macOS will automatically load the default framebuffer for your GPU. When it comes to hackintosh you can use whatever that works for you because there are lots of factors in play and the milage may vary from one user to another. I'm just glad that the issue is resolved now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
