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

Can't wait, another 2 weeks again! $499, not bad for a 1080 equal that will run in OS without a special driver. At least we have the lilu and Mr. Green kexts for our Polaris cards.
Until Apple supports multi stream transport monitors on more than one video card, I can't upgrade yet. It looks like the Radeon WX 9100 will be 6 DisplayPort, but it also will probably cost 2000 dollars or thereabouts :p.

Hopefully the design of the new Mac Pro gets them to support this scenario better. For cost reasons I'd be fine running a single Vega card to drive my primary monitor and a secondary card to drive the others. Even the cut down Vega 56 or possibly the Vega Nano would be a huge step up.
 
Has anyone tried this with RX 550?

Its in the Greenkext, it should work as long as your ID is in the OS Sierra drivers.

Is anyone else experiencing random freezes with the WhateverGreen and/or the Lilu kexts?

My system kept freezing on me and when I removed the WhateverGreen and the Lilu kexts my system became stable again.

I think they updated the lilukext, did you try the updated version?
 
I'm encountering some weird glitching that happens during video playback ... relatively repeatable on certain youtube videos and causes horizontal lines to glitch across parts of the screen. Stops immediately if I stop video playback. Oddly I never encountered this prior to the WhateverGreen fix so I suspect it is related. If I enable h264 acceleration via intel video, the problem almost goes away entirely, but then final cut starts crashing again. Luckily Skylake processor alone is capable of playing back nearly any video without acceleration, so I guess I won't worry about it too much right now.
 
High Sierra has very good drivers, Sierra may need patching.
Hi
well after long time have got back my rx480 from RMA and currently running 10.12.5 so can you point out best way to enable the card as presently this system was being used on internal graphic with kext patches or will an update to 10.12.6 give me Drivers OOB, presently will be putting RX480 with the 6700k rig
