Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards

[hulambre]

Hello ....
And so i'ved changed; i've selled my fire pro W5000 and i should buy an amd card for my hackintosh; therefore i ask an advice: i think about R9 280x because into list work OOB and no problem are segnaled.
Wich card brend is good for layout ? Gigabyte or Sappahire or?
Thank for to anyone help me.
And sorry for my poor english.
My actual config is:
Mobo: H97M Pro4
i5 4460
Hd4600 and/or Zotac Gt440

I would recommend getting a Sapphire RX 560/570/580 depending on how much power you need. The original post is quite old. Now, with the 10.13.4 update these cards work with very little hassle.

Except that 10.13.4 has not been released, yet, only the betas. The .4 update is not schedule to be release to the public until late March.

Right, my RX560 has arrived.

I'm thinking I will wait till 10.13.4 arrives properly - to make things as easy as possible. I don't need it that urgently and would rather have as little hassle installing it. Open to other opinions or advice...

Natively supported except the Clover fix?

There's no need to wait. It's fairly easy to setup.

Basic steps:
1. In Clover's config.plist, set RadeonDeInit=Yes and reboot into the BIOS/UEFI setup
2. disable CSM mode in BIOS/UEFI
3. disable your Intel GPU in BIOS and set the PCI-e graphics card as the Primary
4. connect you monitor to either DP or HDMI port on your graphics card and reboot.

That should get you up and running. You can try out other ports on your card and fine tune and/or enable all the ports, HDMI audio over those ports, and enabling GPU based video encoding/decoding using several different ways (e.g. using custom SSDT or Lilu & Whatevergreen kexts and custom frame buffer patches).

When 10.13.4 eventually comes out, you may still have to do to some setting/tuning to get your card working - that is, it will not be truly plug-n-play - no hackintosh's are.

I just received an Asus STRIX RX580 T8G.
System is an ancient sandy bridge (in my profile) with HS 10.13.3.
Before I swapped out my old and reliable HD5770 I just modified the config.plist by adding the RadeonDeInit=yes flag and removing a framebuffer (Vervet; but this was not required anyway).
The system boots flawless, only sleep does not seem to work at this early stage, but I have not yet had the time to look for solutions as it just came in.
Also the system report states "metal supported", but when I open the preferences of Affinity Photo, hardware acceleration (metal) is not selectable as no supporting GPU is detected.

This just as a very short first impression, feel free to comment if you have ideas about the issues ;-)

i have just updated into 10.13.4 beta3 and rx580 works oob without any kext or parameters.

I use whatevergreen and lilu instead of radeondeinit. Hardware acceleration in Adobe LR and Photoshop CC works, I can see my RX480 in the preferences.

YMMV, of course.
