Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards

Interested in picking up a RX580 for the native experience. I currently run a GTX 740 because I run my hack as vanilla as possible. For example, my only kext is fakesmc. Everything else, including my intel ethernet card, is native.

Is there a RX580 card that I can run native similar to my GTX 740? I don't want to have ANY additional kexts or drivers. Thanks!

Sapphire RX 580 8gb Pulse. $239 on Newegg right now. All other brands of RX 580s will work as well.

Caveat, you will need to run High Sierra 13.6 or Mojave to get full nativity without any Kexts or clover rad de init settings. It will work in Sierra with clover/graphics setting/rad de init.

So, just to clarify, radeon deinit is not needed if i run 13.6?

How about any sleep issues with the Rx580?

Rad de init was developed by Mieze to address that issue, and it seems apple has incorporated it into the software in HS 13.6 +

Stay away from the XFX brand. Sapphire (which I have and Apple recommends) and MSI RX 580 cards will work. To be on the safe side, get the Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB card as it works OOB.

XFX only has issues with the RX 460-560 models due to custom vbios. My XFX RX 480s have worked well since the early Sierra betas (2 yr ago). Apple recommends XFX 500 and Vega series for eGPU use. At least that’s what’s listed here at TM site.

The list of incompatible AMD RX cards:
1). XFX RX 460-560 models due to bios. They can be flashed with a different brand bios for functionality. But it’s better to just buy a different brand for this model.

*All RX 550 models, they are based on a different architecture and Apple hasn’t included any support yet.
** Sapphire RX 550 pulse may work as it’s based on Polaris 21 device ID 0x67FF or RX 560 architecture but it has less compute units so it may not function correctly. It has not been reported to work yet. I have not been able to find one locally for testing or I would try it.

To sum it up stay away from XFX RX 460-560 models and all RX 550 models.
 
I stand corrected. Thanks, @Gigamaxx!

Sorry to correct you but this comes up quite a bit. Maybe Fl0r!an can edit the first page to reflect the issue with XFX RX 460-560 models and the new RX 550 being non compatible.
 
As with others on this forum I have found the advice and input from others extremely helpful.
I went for the AMD option as through my research I understand AMD is essentially used by apple in their builds and could be installed pretty much "plug and play".
I installed AMD Radeon Amour RX 570, using Clover 4458 changed the Graphics Injector options to suit the GPU and it worked. Noticing audio was offline, I reinstalled the last used successful MultiBeast config (always resided on the desktop) and performed ReBoot. All works. Could not have been easier.
While my i5 3570 is old, it performs really well both as a Hack and as a PC. Currently is run 4 unique hard drives for 3 hack versions plus W10.
Thanks to all.
