I hope I don’t get beat up for this!

Many cards Radeon advertise this but I'm not sure if it is only when on Windows (i.e. it is controlled by drivers) or if it works perfect under macOS (as it is done at a card/firmware? level).

@phrozenpenguin,

I think you have that the wrong way round, in MacOS AMD GPU Fans and Clocks are controlled by the OS Drivers where as in Windows they are controlled by the on-board firmware this is true for Vega based cards.

Do you know if this is also true for RX560/RX570 cards?
 
A few month ago I tested a Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 56. Coil whine while in macOS without any 3D applications open, just Mail, Firefox and so. I returned it and used the GTX 970 again.

Now I looking for a new AMD card that is silent in macOS with normal load. Any ideas? Just wait for new ones?

I have 2 hacks, one with a GTX 1080 and the other one with a GTX 970. Using both hacks for After Effects and some C4D.

Really don't want to go with Windows - only for gaming. Don't wanna miss the real Magic Mouse support and as a coder I prefer UNIX.
 
Hey there,

Is there any chance to make the rx 560 works on el capitan ? I'm currently on HS and it works perfectly on it but I need to move back to el capitan for software purpose...

No, only Sierra and newer.

Hi mates,

I'm trying to patch a Firepro M6100 in a DELL Precisio M6800

DCPIManager's status page shows the card as AMD FirePro M6100 but in the PCIList the card is named Saturn HD8950. Why??
In system report the card is recognizes as AMD FirePro M6100 too.

If I turn off Integrated Graphics in BIOS, I only have hdmi output. No displayport. No VGA. No Internal display.
If I turn on Integrated Graphics in BIOS I have Internal display managed by the Intel HD4600 and hdmi turn on the external display but without image and is recognized by OsX in system report.

Why RADEON BIOS DECODE & REDSOCK BIOS DECODER show me "Unknown, unknown, DP, DP, DP, VGA" instead of "LVDS, VGA, DP, HDMI"??

Why RADEON BIOS DECODE & REDSOCK BIOS DECODER show me 6 outputs if I have 4 phisycal outputs?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The card is managed by AMD8000Controller.kext where only are Exmoor and Baladi. The two with 6 outputs.

How I patch this if I know only 4 of the 6 connectors I got?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you get anywhere with the M6100? I have a M6000 in a Dell Precision M6700. Same weird port layout, like exactly the same. I can get output by faking a completely wrong ID, but ofc no acceleration.
