unk Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 hey guys, i got some problems with my graphic card, i build my hackintosh with a SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 580 8G G5, but the displayed power value of rx580 in istat menus was different between windows. when idle on macos, istat shows as 80W-90W, I formatted the disk and only installed macos, but before i uninstall windows, i recorded the value shown by aida64 it shows 32W-34W, this value seems normal. i have searched and tried many methods, but still same as shown in the picture above. here is the configuration of my hackintosh: Mother Board: Gigabyte Z390M GAMING CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K Graphic Card: Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 8G G5 OS: macOS catalina 10.15.3 Bootloader: opencore 0.5.5 here is the config.plist: config.plist this is my first time using hackintosh and opencore, and I have tried to solve this problem for a whole day. I have the following three methods I haven’t tried and also I don’t know how to start (at least now) GPU Patching with DeviceProperties in opencore, like this article(Converting a clover fakeID to OpenCore), but i dont know how to get FakeID inject "fb name", got from clover, dont know how to apply it on opencore Kernel Patching so if you have any ideas, please let me know.

Andrey1970 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) VirtualSMC has no GPU sensors. Data undertake from AMD driver, but they uncorrect. Write bugreports to Apple. Edited February 4, 2020 by Andrey1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decat Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I do think they are not correct, started a bit of troubleshooting and searching on the net because I got a similiar setup & when having two monitors connected the RX 580's memory clock is constantly at 2Ghz. Temp of the card is around 48 to 50 on idle and therefore the vents always turn on & off. With only one monitor connected temps are 10° lower. I just measured at the wall socket moments ago: My setup: Z390 Aorus Master, 9700k, RX 580 Sapphire Nitro Pulse, Mojave & Clover. Screenshot 1 : Dual monitor setup in macOS consumes 79w on idle. Power from screens not included. Screenshot 2: system of but the NAS, router & switch are on the same socket drawing 50w Screenshot 3: dual monitor in Windows drawing 76w on idle. No screens either. iStat says that my RX 580 is taking about 90 to 100w constantly. At first I thought just like you that there might be problem, but compared to Windows it takes the same power from the wall. In Windows HWmonitior & Radeon tool says the card takes about 32w in idle.

ad911 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 in multi-monitors setup, AMD has the traditional that the GPU power consumption is quite high, (it is normal for AMD GPU) https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-aorus-rx-580-xtr/27.html compared with Nvidia GPU in single-monitor and multi-monitor setup, AMD GPU consume much more power than nvidia GPU in idle in idle (Watts) GTX 1050 Ti - (Single-Monitor) : 4W GTX 1050 Ti - (Multi-Monitor) : 4W (amazing !) RX580 XTR - (Single-Monitor) : 14W RX580 XTR - (Multi-Monitor) : 46W !!! (from 14W jump to 46W, use 3 times more power) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
