Is Pike's AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy needed with WhateverGreen/Lilu?

[Yoga]

Hi there,

Running El Capitan (audio build in sig) and about to swap from a nvidia 980 to AMD R9 380 to hopefully fix a GFX glitch. I have this in my config:

            <dict>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy (board-id) Patch (c) Pike R. Alpha</string>
                <key>Disabled</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Find</key>
                <data>
                Ym9hcmQtaWQ=
                </data>
                <key>Name</key>
                <string>AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy</string>
                <key>Replace</key>
                <data>
                Ym9hcmQtaXg=
                </data>
            </dict>

Should that be removed if using WhateverGreen and Lilu? Going to uninstall the nvidia web drivers of course. The config is attached, is there anything else that needs changing?

Would really appreciate some pointers :¬)

It should not be needed, especially if it was used for the Nvidia card. You can test using Clover Configurator app and checking the disable box next to the patch. The card has device ID 0x69391002? It has drivers in the 9000Controllerkext and the 4000kext so it should work under the Tonga family.

Thanks Gigamaxx, appreciate the reply. I think it was for a black screen with MacPro 6,1 definition:

Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition

The MacPro6,1 and iMac15/17 perform special functions on their specific OEM GPUs/Displays. The MacPro6,1 unloads 1 GPU (with no ports) and leaves one functional for it's pseudo CrossFire function. The iMac15/17s apply a special EDID for their 5K displays. The following snippet is taken from...

Looks as if WhateverGreen bypasses the need for it, I'll try without.
