mrheatherroth Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @Gigamaxx do you use any of the Apple Pro software like Final Cut Pro X or Logic X?? Do they would with this fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789323 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Time to make things clear... As already mentioned by me in the German community @trueadm posted in the thread of @KGP-iMacPro that the VII only runs when the IGPU is on in the bios. The whole thing didn't leave me any peace today and I wanted to know it exactly, so I set up a small test setup. Since I was missing a CPU cooler, I had to improvise a little, as you can easily see. Don't worry all parts live and CPU was kept constant at 53/54 degrees What turned out now ? Yes, the card has acceleration when you edit the kext but ONLY!! : if... a) the IGPU is active or b) basically there is a helper card in it If both are not available then the behavior already determined by @KGP-iMacPro or myself mentioned from day one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Dont think it requires iGPU to be enabled or you wouldn’t be able to do this in a real Mac https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/amd-radeon-vii-on-the-mac-pro-5-1-vega-10-driver-results-and-beyond.2170567/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789323 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 You should read again I didnt state that the card works only If you have an IGPU. If you edit the 5000.kext you need an helper Card. Otherwise it will Not Work until Apple release the final Driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In just removed my rx 460 out and it boots to black screen in 14.3 with VII only. I put my 10.14.2 disk in and it works. I had my 460 in there to save power and just pulled the power to the VII and connected only to test after the update. But it had the RX 460 as helper card. Maybe we need a WEG kext update to include this card ID. Try these kexts (10.14.2) maybe the 5000kext first. 10.14.2 kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789323 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) The black screen is not related to weg or an SSDT or anything else... Trust me If I say that.... I did alot of testing... Edited February 21, 2019 by DSM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789323 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 You still forget that your CPU has an iGPU and just because you didnt configure it by yourself it doesnt mean its not initialized by WEG. How ever... Its 6 o' clock in the morning here in Germany. Bed time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you set output to PEG the onboard Chip is not disabled at all!!! Yes my card runs UEFI BIOS but it doesnt matter since exactly same behaviour is happening in legacy mode.

It works without WEG. 10.14.4 beta 3 Check the bootlog IOReg and screenshots. Its not just set to Peg the IGPU multi monitor is also disabled. I can enable and my IGPU will show up if configured but its not.

Benlehot Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, I did a lot of changes in my config in the last few days. I was set with an iMac Pro smbios. I change to iMac 18,3 to get the iGPU support. With those patches (see screenshot), i'm able to boot in Mac OS with the iGPU enable in the bios and the patch in the AMDRadeonX5000 file. My iGPU is set in headless mode. Is that enough to get the patch working? However, the fix doesn't seems to work yet. I'm not getting any acceleration on my VII. If I check in Kext Wizard, I can see that AMDRadeonX5000 is not loaded. (see screenshot). Is it normal? Here's my config if it can help: Intel i9 9900k - AsRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac - 32gb LPX Corsair 2666Mhz - 2 x 1TB Samsung Evo 970 - AMD Radeon VII Thanks a lot for the help guys Edited February 26, 2019 by Benlehot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITAngel Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Good evening everyone! I would like to also be part of the testing process here. I just finally got my Hackintosh build today but sadly using 10.14.1 from Olarila. The following is my hardware configuration; PROCESSOR: Intel Core i9-9900K 8-Core Processor MOTHERBOARD: Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme Z390 CPU COOLER: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 250W MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000Mhz 32GB 4x8 GRAPHIC CARD: Sapphire Radeon VII 16GB HBM2 CASE: CoolerMaster MasterCase SL600M POWER SUPPLY: Corsair RMx Series RM850x — 850 Watt 80 PLUS STORAGE: SAMSUNG 970 500GB M.2 - Windows 10 STORAGE: SAMSUNG 970 250GB M.2 - Games STORAGE: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB SSD - Mojave I however do have a question. I been experiencing odd random freezes. I am not sure what it is or what could be causing it. Not sure if the GPU is the reason I am getting those or something completely different. Any info would be appreciated. One final question, were can I find the 10.14.4 beta 3 image? Also is it hard to do an update on a hackintosh directly from the apple store? I guess was a few questions sorry. -Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITAngel Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I can't stand the freezing up so going to attempt it tomorrow again from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp9 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi, I've got a MBP 2019 with the officially supported eGFX breakaway 650 box and the Radeon VII. I'm working with the last beta of Mojave (10.14.4 beta 6) and the only thing I changed is enabling the AMD drivers for Radeon VII with AMDRadeonX5000 kext. I'm also experimenting random freezes. So I think AMD drivers doesn't work well with the Radeon VII atm, and that's the main reason this GPU is still not supported in last OS X beta. Hope it's going to be fixed soon...

123456789323 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Well what do you think Vega64X is??? Of course its a VII just clocked down or where do you see a faster Vega 64? Just name is different it doesnt mean that its not the VII. Edited March 21, 2019 by DSM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
