Enable all cores R9 Fury cards

PSA Warning! For all Fury Card and RX 470-480 users enjoying the CU limit fix make sure to make extra copies of the RadeonX4100 and store them for the upgrade to Sierra 12.4. Once the new update is out there will be no more fix but the driver from 12.3 works in beta 12.4 V8 so keep them handy for updates.

RadeonX4100 from 12.3 is NOT working in 12.4 (not beta) !!! At least here!

Please Fl0r!an could you check if the 1st patch for Polaris is still correct in 12.4 binaries (x4100 kext) ? Thanks!

Could you PM me a copy of the latest X4100.kext? Currently don't have access to macOS. I'll take a look. Thanks!

so I am confused does this mean after getting the new update to work with 9510 controller and x4100 controller info.plist edits we will not get the full acc WITH Removal of CU units from 16 TO 36 ?

All three unless you're using Sierra beta 12.4, the 12.3 public release still recognizes the Ellesmere command.

In beta 12.4 the last Baffin to Ellesmere fix didn't take for me but performance remains the same for the other two.

The 9500controller disablepowermangement has worked for some and causes crashes for others, so be careful with that one. It's easy enough to switch it back if it doesn't work but be ready to turn your power supply off if you hear fans screaming during a benchmark.

SO AFTER THE UPDATE TO 12.4 I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO ALL 3 STEPS ?

Just the first two steps are working, the third doesn't. The 12.4 public release still works with the CU fix but the Ellesmere doesn't. It's a good idea to start saving the kexts, just in case. If the new one doesn't work with the fix the old versions do work, so far they are compatible.

so for me 3rd step had worked n 12.3 so in 12.4 it will not?.. should I be replacing the value back to original for the third step before I update ?or the kext will be deleted automatically.. and also should I wait until download finished and then edit ..and yes I have backed up the kexts just incase they don't work so I can edit in those bakups..
