Latest WG (non-release) fixes purple glitches. Luxmark performance is excellent. FCPX performance is excellent. GeekBench OpenCL/Metal performance is sub-par. Luxmark shows the wrong base clock for Radeon VII. DP/HDMI audio glitch in certain environments for Radeon VII. Display dips to black before login screen. This is where we are. AMD drivers for Radeon VII are bugged. Mojave 10.14.6 did not fix these issues. When the new Mac Pro comes out, expect Catalina to fix many of these issues. However, with Mojave, it's finished and we stop at lower OpenCL performance. Edited July 23, 2019 by izo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you make a USB stick for testing purposes in general, and when ready move it over to the main partition.

Yes, the glitches happen without WG, which is related to the Apple/AMD driver. But latest build of WG does fix it. It, along with the dip to black-hand off shouldn't happen in the first place. It will improve in Catalina, so I'm not worried. This second stage black issue started to happen with 10.14.4 or 10.14.5. It did not happen with Vega Frontier Edition, only Radeon VII (when they added support in 10.14.5). The purple lines happen with other AMD cards too since 10.14.5.

This is wrong, this has happened since RX series was introduced to High Sierra. I agree that the switch has gotten longer and longer but it’s not driver related. The one thing that Apple machines have that our PCs don’t have in their ACPI tables is the VCFT which has the VBIOS with Apple EFI embedded into it. I believe this is probably a good start to determining the second stage progress bar and logo issue. It’s related how the GPU GOP gets handed off from the firmware to the OS after boot services exit and the Login Screen window handler loads. It possibly could be as easy as just adding the entire VBIOS from the GPU into that table. Edited July 24, 2019 by Pavo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know all the specifics or the technicalities, and you're most likely right, but my previous Vega Frontier Edition and Vega 64 LC did not have this issue. It went from Apple load bar > Apple load screen with no dips to black. Of course there was a small "transition" between the handoff, but it did not send a "no signal" to the monitor like it does now. They did something in 10.14.5. I don't have the Vega cards to test any more, only Radeon VII in possession. But I guess it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izo1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 An update: Switching to SAGE/10G got rid of all DP Audio glitches for me. So it is related to Prime Deluxe II (or Prime Deluxe I). SAGE/10G also fixed my memory errors (using 128GB) compared to Prime Deluxe II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izo1 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Anyone here with this mobo, DO NOT upgrade to 1102 BIOS for SAGE/10G unless you want to have issues with Above 4G Decoding. Having major issues (GPU/Radeon VII related), had to revert back to 0905 which is very stable. Good luck. Edited August 15, 2019 by izo1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 @izo1 I have no problem by now with 1102 release I am on HS 10.13.6 and my main task with OSX are with Premiere Pro and Davinci resolve (editing and coloring) Also in windows no problem at all with these applications Could you post some sample to understand where your system fails? PS also usb are working fine (I am using above 4G on and CSM disabled, I need last CSM parameter disabled I fi I use a Thunderbolt Ex 3 as I do) without it system starts fine also with CSM enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disabling it works ok but USB is gone when 4G is off. I reverted back to 0905 because I need to get work done and don't want to deal with this right now.
