Could you explain why you suggest to remove WhateverGreen.kext? I thought it was essential to running a hack. Or is that specific to the GPU being used?

The only 2 essential kext are Lilu and VirtalSMC/FakeSMC ...weg is related to gpu and is "needed" with iMac and iMacPro smbios (with iMacPro is not really needed..) but with MacPro7,1 smbios, is not needed 'couse MacPro have pciex Vega/Navi gpu and not need renane etc. at all (they have pegp and not gfx0)... And, using MacPro smbios with navi dgpu on Monterey and +, give you full drm fairplay 1.x 2.x and 3.x support without using artifacts or try roulette with shikigva etc 😊

But...what is really need with the MB in this topic, is EC usb for LAPTOP... This 'couse Aorus Pro Z390 have it's own _STA argument on USB acpi... but..no one wanna ear me... LoL btw, without WEG, you can use all output port without issue and without using remap etc 🙂  

(pay attention: this ONLY with MacPro7,1 smbios)

 

The thing that CoffeeLake is iMac18.x/19.x mandatory, is fake...

Is only related to power management on CPU...simply bypassable with cpufriend if you want (power management work also well without this...)

@D3v1L I must say its superb info as per my knowledge for WEG / SMBIOS usage 👌

Update your system.

Update OC

Switch to MacPro7,1

Remove whatevergreen.kext and related boot-args

Reboot

Reset nvram

Re-try

 

No glitch here ...with 6600 and with 6900 on DaVinci 18.5

I did what you said. Updated OS and opencore to 0.93, switched to MacPro 7,1 and no change. The performance in Resolve seams to be poorer then with imac19,1. It takes longer to load the project. The block artefacts are still there. When I switch from Metal to OpenCL the artefacts are gone. but the performance gets even worse. I use ProRes RAW in UHD and the artefacts appear even when no effects or grades are applied. Whatever Green is not in my kext folder.

 

Here my EFI

 

EFI.zip

Ok, i've downloaded now your EFI folder... ok... There's one entry in your DP pcilists...uhd headless...sorry, why? You need to eliminate this and must set to OFF your iGPU in BIOS setup... Try this EFI:

 

EFI.zip

 

This efi is updated to 0.9.4, have same serial in yours... so...test all WITHOUT SIGN IN ICLOUD, and then, CHANGE IT (you can use OC configurator if you want...in this case, they update all field in datahub/smbios and other without make it manually.)...Next time, never post on Forum EFI with S/N and/or other private stuff.

 

btw, make a good BIOS setup and disable iGPU (settings linked in spoiler at bottom of this post), make (if you want) your CPUFriendDataProvider.kext and enable it same as CPUFriend.kext (this 2 kext is not essentially for first EFI test). 

 

Run this efi, cleannvram, resetvram (yes, all of 2), press f12 at boot screen, select Macintosh HD ssd/nvme, select Macintosh HD on OC gui, press and hold "ctrl", then press enter. (this create a new entry in BIOS and set the default loading disc)

 

Try and report back.

Thank you. So the EFI did not change anything but when I turned off the iGPU the block pixels disappeared. Seams like the problem is gone. One thing I noted is that the open core GUI and the login screen have much larger symbols on my UHD screen. it's just an aesthetic thing but maybe you know how to fix it?

 now just the login screen is scaled wrong but guess that's a macOS problem

 

Didn't use it...so i don't know how to fix it

I realised that the problem is still there. It´s not visible anymore in Resolve but when I export its back.

if you download its full res proresHQ

 

and the problem is gone in openCL. only Metal doesn't work

Edited by benjiolino

this is so strange...btw...have you try h.265 Main or Main10 for export? Same artifacts?

btw...didn't know how to solve...i'll never export my video with prores format...only edit with this format and then export in h.265 main10...

btw, is offtopic but usefull...

Not sure exactly where to post this but I will start here.

 

Lately I've noticed that start up has been taking very long time once I get to the Apple logo screen. The bar gets about a third of the way and there is a very long pause before it then just goes right through the next two thirds.

 

Checking it out in verbose mode, there a 22 second pause between the first pause and another 25 between the next:

 

Any ideas about what is happening?

I found out that the problem is Davinci when using ACES 1.3 which is normally the way to go but it has this problem with the 6900XT. Seams to be unresolved since one year.

https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=169580

I only have the problem with ACES 1.3 and RAW.When I switch to ACES 1.2 it's gone. So I guess I will work on RAW projects with my M2 MAX MacBook. It faster anyway...

This is obvious...

But...you have an m2 and try to use an old 6900 with a MB with pciex gen.3?? really?... LoL ahahhaahhahahah

You think it would make a difference to have PCIe 4? I was also thinking about upgrading the CPU and RAM and Mb but after realising how fast the M chips are I have my doubts it's worth it.

Soon Intel won't be supported anyway. But do you think a 13900k would make a huge difference in Resolve?

Hey guys, have any of you encountered this issue before?

Here's the story: I was cleaning the inside of my PC and decided to remove only the BCM card. After cleaning everything, I reinstalled the card and booted up the machine. Initially, everything seemed fine, but later I noticed that my magic mouse was behaving differently. I couldn't scroll anymore, although left and right clicks were working fine, along with the Wi-Fi. When I checked the Bluetooth settings, I discovered that Bluetooth was completely disabled. I tried rebooting my machine, but the problem persisted. Now, when I look into the System Information, I see the following picture below...

I tried to fix this with BrcmPatchRAM, BlueToolFixup etc. nothing changed... Any idea ?

So strange but...i think with BCM943602CS you have bcm2070 instead bcm4350 bt chipset...try to change internal USB...use other one.. ...btw brcmPatchRAM / bluetooth tool kext etc are not required with BCM943602CS combo card...

You are right! I followed the suggestion and switched to a different USB port. By the way, I just remembered that when I put the BCM card back in, I forgot to plug in the USB cable. As a result, I had no Bluetooth at all and had to restart my machine. Ever since then, I've been experiencing this issue. Hackintool is reporting a Bluetooth peripheral btw...
