Any successful case on get Firepro W5000 graphics card working on Big Sur

Recommended Posts

I am running on OC, installation of Big Sur is successful but my graphics card of W5000 doesn't work properly - Big Sur can't recognize its model and RAM size correctly, as a result, no correct resolution is given. 

 

i7 4790K+ ASUS Z87-C + W5000. 

 

what's the point to get w5000 work?

I suppose you have Lilu and WhateverGreen, isn't it?

FirePro W5100 is in the list of compatible cards (although FakeID is needed). Does this card have same chip as yours?

thank you but I tried it seemed nothing change. ;(

You're right.
I removed the WX4100 and put the W5000 for test. No success, all the methods I know that have worked successfully on Catalina for some reason do not work on Big Sur.

I think it's in DevicePoperties. 

Somewhere I saw that it is possible through ACPI SSDT, but I do not know how to do it right:(

Okay. I think I will buy a W7000 instead. Now the game cards are too expensive to afford. 

 

Hopefully Apple won't remove support of W7000 in the future. 

 

Your efforts are truly appreciated! :)

All graphics cards are very expensive these days. Also the Radeon Pro W7100. But at least it's a macOS-capable card with good performance.

 

Cheaper is the WX 4100 which works very well in Big Sur, logically with less performance than 7100. But it's difficult to find. See here

I think you were referring to WX4100 instead of W4100. I just ordered an W7000 from Internet at cost of US$150. But WX4100 costs just double.

W7000 sounds a better deal.

Yes, my mistake, I mean WX 4100 like in my post.

 

Remember that Dortania only includes this cards: Radeon Pro W5500, Radeon Pro W5700, Radeon Pro WX 9100, Radeon Pro WX 7100, Radeon Pro WX 5100, Radeon Pro WX 4100. No W7000 model. I hope it works. I know W7000 was supported in Mavericks, some years ago.

 

EDIT: FirePro W7000 also included in the guide (thanks @Hervé)

No ATI/AMD card here but can't fake id be implemented by injecting the desired id through Device Properties injection in the OpenCore config? Under the identified IO location:


device-id     09680000   DATA

This being said, FirePro W5000 appears to carry id 1002:6809 so you would never need to fake the card's own id!

https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1002/6809

 

 

So it's better to fake the card to nearest supported 0x6808

@miliuco FirePro W7000 is actually listed under the 7000 Series in Dortania's GPU buying guide, which is why I mentioned the AMD 7000, 8000 and R7/R9 Series (all those are somehow fairly close, Pitcairn & Tahiti chips):

https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/modern-gpus/amd-gpu.html#hd-7000-series-7xxx

 

I understand that FirePro W7000 and W9000 are very close (not to say similar) to the FirePro D300/D500/D700 fitted to the 2013 trashcan MacPro6,1 and all those are stated to be supported in Big Sur.

Yes, I was looking for Radeon Pro W7000 in the guide, not FirePro W7000, sorry.

Thanks to everyone who joined.
There are forecasts of further growth in the value of bitcoin, so video cards of this type can still serve well, haha ...
At this time I need a full-featured hackintosh so I put back the working WX4100.
But I would like to clarify the situation with the W5000 (W7000, W5100, W7100, etc...) on Big Sur, so I'm ready for future tests...

Yes, nowadays cryptocurrency mining is f****** hackintosh users and anyone who wants to buy a PC, especially demanding game fans.

And it can be interesting to clarify the situation with RadeonPro W, but I don't have any unit to test.

I bought one and I can confirm that W7000 works well, OOB.

Thanks for the info. I suppose without needing of id injection. Only Lilu and WhateverGreen, no?

Correct. W7000 normally carries PCI id 1002:6808 which is natively supported by AMD7000 controller kext (see the link I posted above). Of course, check the card's id when you receive it should graphics acceleration not work OOB.

 

I think you are right. In PS even its model is not known.

 

How to enable acceleration? 

 

I connected 2 DP ports to my Dell so as to support 5k resolustion. Sometime my screen flash or even turn black but will come back very soon. :(

:blink:Huh ?

Yesterday, you posted this:

 

 

I found I did nothing but the system can recogize it and resolustion is correct, so I think it works. Sorry I didn't check it in depth. I can't tell why system can recongize it but PS didn't and acceration is not enable.
