SavageAUS Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ok so I’m getting tired of waiting for nvidia to release drivers for macOS so I’m debating on picking up a Gigabyte RX580 8gb Gaming for AU$399. Will this work oob with high Sierra and Mojave? I already use WEG and Lilu. Will I see a performance gain from my current 4gb gtx960? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best choice would be the brands that Apple has introduced when they announced the support of eGPU in macOS 10.13.4 like Sapphire because the model ID is present in the macOS's drivers, however you can make any other GPU to work using WEG, RadeonDeInit or using a SSDT or patching the DSDT. I have two ASUS GPUs (RX 560 and RX 580) they perform ok but sometimes they will produce a reddish artifact on the menu bar specially when thy go under load so I suggest you stay away from Asus. Sapphire and PowerColor are the best choices in my view. About Gigabyte I'm not sure though I remember there were some issues with Gigabyte as well not sure though. check the documentation on 10.13.4 release for more info.

You'll have a better performance and no more waiting for nVidia Web Drivers, no more lags or other web driver related issues. You can easily install and update the new macOS versions as they get release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageAUS Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 So much better, removed nvidia drivers, shut down, swapped cards and booted up. Instantly detected without any edit and fully woking in Mojave and High Sierra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it is recognised perfectly without any change, no special kexts, working OOB. You can find RX570-4G at less than 200€... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues at all. Love it. Attached is something to try with your card. This kext changes your RX580 to an AMDRadeonPro. Which is what's in the iMacPro. Allows for full support for H264 and H265:) Just add the kext in Clover/Kexts/Other. I cant claim any credit for this kext.

FernandoCoverdale Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hello friends, I take this thread for a doubt I have, I have an Nvidia 1060 6gb and I am tired of waiting for the webdrivers to mojave, I will definitely sell my graphics and I was thinking about the RX Vega 56 8Gb, what do you think about this model? ? I understand that it would work without problems in a native way, someone with this model that can tell me if it is a good buy ?, the rx580 model works perfectly but I think it is inferior to the rx56 correct me if I'm wrong.

C.Frio Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 hi... there're some comments, here too, about the RX 590.. (or the new..RX 3080 , only next year and no Mac reference...) you can take a look and compare with the Vega one... c.frio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The reason was that I wanted to have the right orinoco framebuffer without edits. So I added the right BIOS serial/Partnumber but still it wouldnt give the right amount of ports so the edit was of no use actualy. I still need to inject orinoco and 5 ports to get it to work with 4-5 screens and sleepmode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgott to add my signature with my build but I have Xeon E5 so no iGpu. I guess thats what makes this a bit harder with HEVC/H264. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
