macOS Sierra PB: Need testers for new AMD Radeon drivers!

[jerryy2345]

The problem i have is that i cannot properly shut the system down cause it always powers on again and again after i told the system please shut down and i'm stuck in infinite loop reboots until i finally pull the wire from the PSU.

The second one is that the system still looses sound ability after it wakes up from sleep mode which can only be fixed by a reboot.

Rehabman has written a kext or two dealing with the second issue, they may help you. He may have written one or two dealing with the first issue as well, I know the prpblem got a lot of discussion on the Clover boards, so it may also be fixed by now. I have to take off for a while, but that info is there.

Awesome, I've got a Fury Nano and have been stuck on 10.12.3 for the longest time. Can you test and make sure that all CU's are enabled (via LuxMark?) and that Metal is working properly (I've heard its not on High Sierra).
Also, if all 56 CU's are recognized, did you have to mess with any of the AMD kexts like on 10.12.3?

Thanks in advance if you have the time to check

Hi,
Yeah it looks like computes units are still 36 as it was before lilu and WhateverGreen.kext.
I have not had any problems at all since 10.12 was released
Just to remember always backup original AMDRadeonX4100.kext.
every time when your about to update sierra replace patched kext with original and vise versa AMDRadeonX4100.kext after update finish. I use clover patch

Sierra 12.6 already has the 36 CU fix in drivers, no need. There are a few threads that will not be needed anymore though they served a great purpose.

Oh yeah I figured it out right after asking! so I took some flags away from my clover config file and updated the clover to newest version.

Do you need to use the iGPU or a helper card?

Is the kext.dSYM file needed for this to work? This is an awesome development!

 

[lemnitz3]

Absolutely fantastic!

Have made some 'stress' test with sleep mode some time now! And everything WORKS awesome after sleep mode although background apps than Logic Pro X, iMovie, GarageBand etc.. have been active! And everything else is working as it should!!
Yeah

Big hand to Vandroiy2013 and vit9696 and also to Mork VoM Ork Which is a finder for tis

Don't inject ATI, remove ATI fake-id, disable all AMD kext patches, don't force AMD kexts to load.

I tried to do the same but my system hangs every time after the system begins to load on the apple logo screen.
I set primary gfx to pce slot 1 with the RX480. Then i did a test with enabled and disabled igfx.
I also dropped the Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext into /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other directory.

I'm on 10.12.6 and the system just works with helper card enabled, set as primary display even when i just connect the monitor via DP with the RX480 so that i have a dark screen while booting.

Maybe there's something missing in clover, or a misconfiguration since i still have the settings from January.
I use the latest Clover and added some screenshots, maybe someone can help and verify my overall Clover settings?

Has anyone tried this with dual 480s?

 

[MacGyver2]

Awesome !!!

RX 480 working without any issue !!!

I have tested FCP X, iTunes rented movies working with shiki.kext, Sleep and Wake etc.

For comparison on my setup:

GTX 1080
Cinebench R15 =118.17
LuxMark =15121
BruceX 5K = 25s

RX 480
Cinebench R15 =125.12
LuxMark =14647
BruceX 5K = 14s

So far OSX runs more smoothly with Radeon than Nvidia, without any glitch.
