Anyone tried to do a render test in final cut pro with an RX 4xx card yet?

Uningine kills it, unless you're plugged into the board (Intel) graphics.
Waiting for the beta 7 update, downloading with wifi.

Shazam! My Gygabyte RX 460 is supported! image.jpeg

Awesome news, I will hook up my two other 460s and my 480 and report back. Great news, Unigine didn't kill the graphics card, I was getting 10-14 fps with the integrated graphics. This is plugged into the card HDMI outlet.

I tried all three cards ad only the Gigabyte RX 460 2g works. It is supported, the others have boot issues now since the Beta 7 update.

Whooo, Hoooo! It's Gigabyte for the win, no pun intended EVGA fans!

I thought about it and heard about the Gigabyte RX460 card not having the 6 pin connector, this would make sense for a laptop board, no? Lucky find at the right time.

Good job, Giga! Great to see your Gigabyte working.

I'm excited for what DP8 might bring us. It would be a bloody shame if they weren't to support Polaris 10!

No, I just ran a test, if I boot with one monitor (all I have right now) from the IGFX it will detect the card and I can then plug it into the card but the frame rate in Unigine is the same as with the IGFX HDMI connection (11-17 fps). Now, if I boot with the cable connected to the card it's a black screen until the last part of the Apple logo boot (it catches the very end, and then the password screen " blurred Sierra comes up, log in and it now puts out 70+ frames per second. It only loads Kexts for one graphics option or the other. This phenom was mentioned by Mork earlier. I had two screens connected last night and the IGFX screen would show normal boot up and the graphics screen get signal at the last minute.

My Bios settings are IGFX primary (auto, enable, disable) I have set to auto.

That sounds like the 'regular' Tonga issue.

No luck with the 480 yet? Would be interesting to see someone try a Gigabyte RX 480.

You could also download various VBIOS images from different manufacturers and dynamically load them with Clover. This is not 100% as meaningful as testing the whole card, but it might give us an idea about compatiblity.

I will try to find the thread where you give directions for this. off to work, but tonight its on.

My pentium rig went through the beta 7 update but since its igfx must be disabled and pice is the only option for the card it won't boot now. I tried my Skylake build using pcie priority and it won't boot either. ill have to put my R9 270x back in the pent build.

Where are you located, Florian? I could send you one (GIGABYTE rx 460) to tinker with if your in the US.
