someone working with an XFX Radeon VII?

Thanks in advance
 
I already tested the Radeon VII in the Catalina Public Beta, the performance in a lot of scenarios is better than Mojave. Premiere I had problems in the past but right now is working quite better.

Hello man, all readeon vii are the amd reference model, all radeon vii will work in hackintosh...
 
With my new Radeon VII installer on Mojave 14.5, I’m experiencing this issue, where if I have my intel iGPU on auto, image preview won’t work, if I turn my igpu on, Final Cut X won’t start.

i just have a feeling this is related to my new card.

Also, when the integrated graphics are on, there are graphical artifacts on the boot screen.

@basak,

Do you have Lilu and WhatEverGreen installed and are defining the IGPU as "Headless" using Device Properties in your config.plist ? ... for more info check out the "Headless" section of chapter 4 of this guide :-

Are you referring to purple dashed lines at the top of the boot screen ?, if so then there is nothing to worry about as most users with AMD GPU's are experiencing the same artefacts with Mojave 10.14.5.

Cheers
Jay

Catalina has still the same horizontal lines on the boot screen.

@andrew3210,

Yes ... although i haven't installed the Catalina beta myself i did see a few people reporting the purple lines when booting Catalina ... suggesting that Apple are using the same AMD drivers from 10.14.5 with this first Catalina beta.

Hello Raftrix86, what do you mean by "work"? Can you please elaborate, Im on a Vega 64 waiting for Radeon VII support and by the responses of the community looks everybody is still testing with a lot of problems, yet no stable build for acceleration, everybody seems to be reporting an issue as far as I know.
Thanks in advance :)

Well I said will work (in the future), I didn't say is working, I don't understand why the confusion. It will work any model because there is no custom Radeon VII models from Asus/Asrock/MSI/XFX, etc etc. All the Radeon VII that is actually available for sale are the AMD reference model. That means if your Asus Radeon VII in one point works perfect in mac os (I tested in Catalina Public beta and the performance is a lot better) the other Radeon VII from the other brands will do it too. The thing is Radeon VII is a Radeon Vega 2 (it look like a contraction VII - V2 - Vega 2 - Vega II) of the new MacPro, and with the new MacPro this VideoCard will have full support in Mac OS X, maybe in MacOS Mojave in future updates but definitly Mac OS Catalina will have complete support with full performance for sure.
 
I took a bate and bought VII today, unfortunately there is no OpenCL or Metal acceleration for me.
The cards boots just fine with or without Lilu + WEG.
I have no idea what to do now.
