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

Hello, @szw75!
Yes, I have updated to 10.15.4 and can confirm they added the HDR support future in the display section. See
system pref->display but be aware of some buggy video play back depending on your overall setup. does your monitor/tv have hdr support if so you will see the box in displays in system pref..
Well, I've got a Panasonic 58" 4K HDR TV (TX-58DX750B) and bought a new fibre optic 5m HDMI 2.0 Cable (4K@60Hz HDR/CEC/HDCP 2.2) connected to my Radeon VII on 10.15.4 and still "nada" on System Pref->Display...:cry:

Funny enough, on Windows 10 x64 I do get the PQR (HDR10) mode @30Hz, although with some washed out colours and any movie played with internal TV player is just amazing in HDR!

Do you know on how to diagnose where the problem might be ?

@CaseySJ, maybe this will be next big addition to this thread: HDR10 for everyone, no ?

I've run AGDCDiagnose both in MacPro5.1 & MacPro7.1 SMBIOS, but cannot understand the massive output...

Still having trouble with UAD Apollo 16 MK2 not working properly. It shows up correctly in System Information and looks right in IORegistry Explorer, shows that it is connected in UAD Meter, looks correct on the device indicator lights on the apollo, but produces no sound. It does make very crackly distorted sound when youtube is autoplaying at boot and before the UAD connection dialog box comes up and runs, but then it cuts out as soon as the box closes. I am using a Startech TB2 >TB3 adapter and not an Apple, could this be the issue? I have reinstalled the UAD drivers and followed all the relevant guides I’ve seen on this thread. otherwise everything is running great I think, but as this is the main comp in my studio I need audio to be working perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Casey. Is there a clear, step-by-step guide on how to upgrade Clover 4xxx to 5xxx? I've seen a few guides but they are a bit vague for me and I don't want to mess anything up with the upgrade. Thanks again
** Mini-Guide: Upgrading from Clover 4xxx to Clover 5xxx **

The upgrade is quite straightforward, but there is one manual post-upgrade step we have to perform:
  • Make a full bootable backup first.
  • Run the Clover 5xxx .pkg installer.
  • Choose your Install Location. This is the existing macOS internal SSD.
  • Then click the Customize button on the lower left.
  • Check on only the following:
    • Clover for UEFI booting only
    • Install Clover in the ESP
  • All other options in the Customize section should be unchecked.
  • If you see a warning about the software not being supported on the current platform, select Continue Anyway.
  • When installation is complete, quit the installer.
Now we'll perform the manual post-upgrade steps:
  • First, you will notice that the EFI partition of the macOS SSD has already been mounted for you.
  • Navigate to the CLOVER folder.
  • You will now find two "drivers" directories:
    • drivers64UEFI -- this is the old one from Clover 4xxx
    • drivers/UEFI -- this is the new one from Clover 5xxx
  • To be safe, delete everything from inside the newly created drivers/UEFI folder (but do not delete the folder itself).
  • Copy everything from the old drivers64UEFI folder to the new drivers/UEFI folder.
  • Now delete the old drivers64UEFI folder and empty the trash. This is necessary.
  • Reboot.

Hello everyone. I updated to 10.15.4 last night and have seen "lockups" when my displays go to sleep. No issues in 10.15.3. I'm looking to roll back unfortunately unless there's an easy fix.

Thanks!

Connecting a TV to the Hackintosh? Oh no, my least favorite topic... :(

Solution: Connect a lovely shiny tiny Apple TV to your HDR TV. Problem solved. :)
 
A lot of times when I see this it's due to the DRM mechanism (HDCP) that is part of HDMI not renegotiating correctly. Try unplugging at the card, wait 10 or 15 seconds and then plug the cable back in to the card. This will force a new handshake.

Thanks for the response. I'm using DisplayPort over Thunderbolt 3
 
  • What is the make/model of your monitor?
  • Are you connecting it via iGPU?
  • If so, are you using the HDMI port on the rear I/O panel?
  • Or the two Thunderbolt / DisplayPort outputs?
  • Are you using any video converters such as DP to DVI, or HDMI to DVI?
  • Are you running Mojave or Catalina?
  • How long has this problem been happening? Was it happening when macOS was first installed?

It's a Dell U2717D 2K monitor.
Yes, it's connected to the onboard graphics. I have not discrete VGA.
I'm using a TB3 to Display Port cable. No converters.
I'm now on Catalina, but it also happened on Mojave
Yes, the issue is here from the beginning.

The only pattern I could find is that it seems to happen after a long sleep (like overnight), but even so, not always.
 
@jiffyslot - for what it's worth, I was able to help a friend setup his Z390 Aorus Master with GC-Titan Ridge (unflashed) with an Apollo 8 and it was the same, clean hot-swap!
