Tiem Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Here's the results of BasemarkGPU: https://powerboard.basemark.com/benchmark-result/717335. Results basically mirror what's already there: https://powerboard.basemark.com/top/gpu-families/basemark-gpu-1.2-high/computers/macos/default-environment/median/10/1 so not much of an improvement in beta 4. The results of Heaven (ran for 15mins). Intensive scenes hit ~50 fps. Avg ~60 fps.

The reason I am asking I tried OC sometime back with Glasgood's guide and I was able to boot and run Ok but the GUI was not appealing to me coming from Chameleon and then Clover so I knida not followed it up but seeing NDK'S effort, I am intrigued again and ran the Latest one on a test usb AudioGod posted, it booted ok but stopped at the Apple Logo with no progress bar and no back light on my k/board or mouse. Mind you, I don't know if I should have cleared the NvRam before rebooting and I haven't use the UnlockCFG steps so don't know if that has anything to do with it. I decided to ask you since our man AudioGod is run off his feet with other queries . Added -v to your boot arguments and try again. My money is that OC is halting on something it can't find (simple config problem). Also, it's not possible to unlock your board if you have the WIFI variant using the attached firmware (it's for the Pro). You need to use the modified grub boot loader and unlock using setup_var_3. It's not ideal as it resets every time you flash your BIOS or clear your CMOS. But it's the way to go if you have F12C.

He posted a URL some posts back. I boot with Clover (same reason, I really like the GUI.) Booted with OC using a USB drive once or twice. Also no problem. I have no issues whatsoever on my computer. Been running rock solid for months. And absolutely take @WizeMan advice and create a backup of your BIOS settings. We monkey around with our boards so much it makes it SO easy to get back to it.

Tiem Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I can assure you guys that if you think the CFG unlock may fix something or may be the cause of a problem it likely won’t be that. This EFI has native nvram so there’s no real reason if it’s a pain. I would flash my board with a bios update as that’s easy and permanent. But even then, it won’t give you anything you don’t already have.

Hifi33 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) I have a question and need a little help. I have successfully loaded Opencore from the front page EFI provided (thank you! ) and have been trying it out, vs the Clover EFI but I have an issue with my Broadcom BCM94360CD wifi/bluetooth pci adapter. When waking from sleep, my build loses bluetooth, also the wifi connectivity seems very slow. I see Bluetooth in the Finder Bar although just showing Bluetooth icon greyed out and clicking on it shows (Bluetooth:Not Available). Should I find a kext for the card or should this Apple adapter work "out of the box" with Catalina? I seem to remember on a previous EFI having AirportBrcmFixup.kext for this card, could I just incorporate this again or is it necessary? Thanks!

Hi, There’s a little bit of a misconception when it comes to the meaning of Out the box working. it means if you plug it in it will work and this much is true but it doesn’t mean you won’t need additional bits to make it run perfectly and what works for one person might not work for the other so With that in mind If you were using airportfixup previously and it was working correctly for you then add it back in to the oc EFI and see if it corrects your problem. i hope that helps.

Thanks, that's very true about the Out of the Box solution. ha I think I solved it without editing my EFI folder. The system was set to "Wake for Network Access" in the Energy Saver of System Preferences. I have disabled that and now, upon waking my build, there isn't an issue. Not sure why that works but so far, so good! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339980-audiogods-aorus-z390-pro-patched-dsdt-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/78/#findComment-2711557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have been trying to get things to work you make so many changes that usually there is some configuration that is off and which leads to trouble when you say try to use an EFI from anyone. I suggest to take the battery from your motherboard for 2 minutes. Then your bios and hardware will be at their defaults. Now make your changes to Bios and the placing of the new EFI files.

Just to add, SMBios 19,1 is the correct one to be using for our chipset and cpu, if you check the spec of a real macpro it is not a using a CoffeeLake CPU or Z3xx chipset. It does work perfectly but correct is correct so 19,1 it is. Please Note, If you use a 5700 or 5700XT then SMBios 1,1 in unstable using the Navi GPUs so please stick to 19,1 with igpu enabled. Yes sir, I am using a 5700XT and SMB 1,1, I really want to change it to 19,1, but I cannot get the igpu enabled bcz CPU is 9600kf.. so sad BTW, My MB is z390 aorus pro WIFI with BIOS F12C (latest version for my MB) and cfg unlocked, your clover EFI(updated 05/03/2020 and last one, both for your F12D BIOS) just works fine. everything I tried got no problems. thanks for your work..

AudioGod Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) It seems that with every Catalina revision smbios 19,1 is becoming more and more of a pain to use. smbios iMacpro1,1 is always there as a second option and works just fine but if your a Navi User then be careful as heavy prolonged GPU usage can cause the system to freeze.

Actually I see things I didn't see before with it removed. For instance HWMonitor now shows more GPU info, and I don't recall being able to choose between GPU's in Geekbench or API's but perhaps I never looked hard enough.
