I have bought a 2nd hand AMD Radeon 7750 to fix my Mojave installation problems. Although the Vendor/Device Id is in AMD7000Controller.Kext, I get a black screen and with some changes a yellow screen. I can not find any useful information to fix that. All information are for High Sierra and older macOS versions. Is there any fix to resolve that? What if I buy an RX 650 for example?

Hi @kamyar1979 and welcome to insanelymac.com :)

Please update your signature with your hardware specs so we can help you easier.

 

There are several ways to resolve the black screen issue on AMD GPUs. The procedure is the same for High Sierra and Mojave.

1. Use RadeonDeInint=true injection in the config.plist under the Graphics Section. You might also need to set InjectATI=true as well, test with and without InjectATI=true and see if that helps.

2. Use the AGDP patch in the config.plist 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 © lvs1974, Pike R. Alpha, vit9696

3. Using WhateverGreen.kext and Lilu.kext which should be placed inside the /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. If you are going to use these kext files you shouldn't use InjectAti=True and you should not Inject the Framebuffer in the config.plist.

 

4. Using a SSDT for your GPU.

The RX 560 (Which I assume is what you mean by saying RX 650) should work OOB because it has the native support in macOS 10.12.6 and newer.

 

There are several reports on people having issues activating their 7750/7770 GPUs in High Sierra and probably Mojave.

 

 

Good luck.

I also have a problem with a 7xxx card in Mojave.

The card is a Sapphire GPRO 4200, Radeon R7 250X, 4 GB RAM, 4x Mini-DP, ID 0x682b.

The chip is Cape Verde PRO2, Futomaki or Dashimaki are working as framebuffers.

 

I have an image in Mojave 10.4.6, but it only shows 15 MB VRAM.

The card is working In Mavericks, and it also should in Monterey.

It's a single-slot low-profile card, so I don't have many alternatives.

Now everything is working. Because neither on the slot nor on the PCB is a number, I assumed the first video port

was the one on the bottom. This would have make sense because the 4200 has 4 ports and then ports 5 and 6

are added for the 6200 above them.

 

But it was the other way round. The first port is on the top. Now I have three monitors, the VRAM is recognized and also the

name entered in Clover is now displayed correctly. It's working in Mavericks and Mojave.

 

The third monitor 'display' is using an passive Mini-DP -> DVI-Adapter.  It's difficult to find an active DVI adapter

which also supports Dual-Link. I have still enough DVI 4:3 monitors, so I want to use them.

 

The only problem is the CPU name, it is shown as 700 MHz Intel Core i7 in the info and in System Profiler it has 1,6 GHz.

It is an Intel Core i7 3770S with 3.1 GHz.

 

The next step is getting Monterey to work on my Ivy Bridge systems. But I get a kernel panic soon when booting.
