AMD Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series with Mojave

Helllo,

I got a HacBook with this card running Sierra and would like to update to Mojave.

Did anyone get the cards to work under Mojave?

 

After my research I found the dosdude1 patcher but this works only with restrictions.

- AMD Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series GPU acceleration: Currently, it is not possible to get full graphics acceleration when running Mojave on a system with a Radeon HD 5xxx or 6xxx series GPU. Mojave will be almost UNUSABLE without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD GPU (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an ***iMac.***) Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled.

 

There is a solution for the iMacs with the Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx. You have to delete a file called, “AMDRadeonX3000.kext” which you will find in System/Library/Extensions. This will fix the color issues.

 

Has anyone tried that or has experience with it?
