[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

Hi @CaseySJ it's already set like this... and the same issue... it does not show the BIOS and Clover boot screen.
When i turn on the computer it send video signal to the Monitor when Mojave loads the welcome screen to login.
It completely skips BIOS and Clover.

The initial Display Output is set to PCIe 1 Slot not to IGFX

What else can causes the problem ?

Thanks
 
Hi guys,

I have built my hackintosh from the hardware and relying on some parts of this guide, everything works perfectly ... Congratulate the creator of the post ...

For purely cosmetics I would like to optimize the boot and leave it exactly the same as any genuine apple computer. When I select the Apple Mojave partition inside the Clover boot (picture1), then the apple logo appears correctly, after a few seconds appear purple stripes across the screen (picture 2), as if there was an error graph, then, the screen is completely black (picture3), after a few seconds, the end of the MacOS load appears (picture 4) and finally the Mojave screen appears to log in to the system (picture 5).

Does anyone know how to go from picture 2 without the graphic errors to picture 5 directly, not showing pictures 3 and 4?

My hackintosh works great, I am very happy with his performance, I would like to solve this error to complete the performances to 100%.

My Hackintosh works in Mojave 10.14.6 with a Gigabyte Z390 Designare, i9 9900k and a Sapphire Plus AMD RX580.

The Rx 580 is perfectly recognized into Mojave 10.14.6, its performance in applications such as Final Cut Pro, etc. is very good.

Thanks for your help.

Hello @wiinilo,

I believe you can bypass the Clover Boot Menu and jump directly to the Apple boot screen by setting Timeout to -1 as shown here:

But we cannot jump from Picture 2 to Picture 5. Even a real Mac has this "interruption" but the screen does not go black during that interruption. The interruption occurs when the default VESA graphics driver (non-accelerated) gets released and the AMD accelerated driver gets initialized. This is perfectly normal.

Sometimes the BIOS will instantly flashback to version F3 so it's a good idea to check BIOS settings again. Namely, BIOS version should be either F6 or F7. Quickly double-check your BIOS settings.
 
Hello @CaseySJ your guide and your help is fantastic in the community, thanks.
I have a doubt, built with Designare, I9 .. etc .. My question is still GPU issue, I bought the 580RX.
But always comes to me the question of switching to a Radeon VII, my main use is Photoshop and Lightroon.
Switching to Radeon VII will I improve the performance of these applications?
Maybe other friends have already gone through the 580RX and bought the Radeon VII and can also tell me something about it.
Thanks
Hello @Rag, although the Radeon VII is significantly better than the RX 580 on paper, real world performance with Photoshop and Lightroom is affected by the quality of drivers and quality of the software itself. I would encourage you to search this site and the net for benchmarks.

Any Photoshop/Lightroom users want to chime in?

Radeon VII vs RX 580
  • 3840 cores vs 2304 cores
  • 64 ROPS vs 32 ROPs
  • 240 Texture Mapping Units vs 144
  • 16GB High Bandwidth Memory (4096 bits wide) vs 8GB GDDR5 Memory (256 bits wide)

The BIOS was F7, and i have changed it now to F6 to see if i can solve the issue but without luck .... it still skips BIOS and Clover and send video signal to the monitor when Mojave welcome screen shows up.
I have tried with all 3 display outs of the RX 580: Display Port, HDMI and DVI and with all happens the same. I have 2 RX 580 and it happens with both. So I don't think it's a GPU issue...

For the Sapphire Nitro+ it might be a good idea to try enabling CSM Support in BIOS. And Above 4G Decoding should also be enabled (BIOS).
 
Hello @CaseySJ Thanks

For your answer about Radeon VII, I will try to research, I understand that it is complex and depends a lot on the software that each one uses, in some cases it can make no difference, this is my doubt, spend on a more expensive board and not get any results .

Now another question, why not enable Bios ULTRA FAST BOOT? Is there any problem ? because I already enabled and had no problem, but I would like to know why the recommendation to leave disable.

Thank you
 
Per an earlier question you asked, warm-booting into macOS is not technically necessary on this board, but it can provide some benefits as you’ve noted. @Bobbert’s two-monitor solution avoids Windows. If you have a second monitor, I’m curious if cold-booting into macOS will also enable 5K and the monitor’s on-board devices (USB ports, camera, etc).

If you search for posts in this thread by @TheAsocial, you’ll find his experiences with the same monitor, but he didn’t seem to encounter any issues back then. Perhaps he didn’t test everything...

Casey,

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I have a triple monitor configuration with 1 LG UF 5k and 2 LG UF 4ks. I am now running the 5k in 4K resolution with the GB Alpine Ridge add in card in PCI slot 2. Also, I tested with a Titan Ridge add in card in bottom pcie slot and this card was seen as a second as second TB3 controller in windows but I just couldn’t get it to work in windows or Macos so I’m settling on 5k with no thunderbolt capabilities and the 2 4ks running of the Designare Intel IGPU. The 5k runs off the Radeon VII passthrough to the add in card. I can say the monitors connect instantaneously from sleep which my real 2018 Mac mini struggled with. I don’t think there is any hope getting the alpine ridge controller working with TB because it’s not even seen in windows and there isn’t a TB3 header on the Designare.

There is some talk about the Designer X299 which has 2 display port inputs that maybe can drive the 5k at 5k but would still need a TB3 add in card which I’ve never reliably been able to get both ports to work with DP passthrough in Hackintosh.
 
Today, I updated the OpenCore EFI folders in this earlier post.

With the OpenCore Designare boot, I got the following results with a SMBIOS of iMacPro1,1 with a Radeon VII (iGPU disabled). The i9-9900K was clocked at 4.7GHz. The driver is AptioMemoryFix with the latest Lilu and WeG kexts.
