Motherboard
Gigabyte Z170X Designare
CPU
intel core i7-6700K - 4GH
Graphics
Amd Radeon r9 290x
I had a 100% perfect hackintosh with Nvidia 980 ti, but i need catalina so i bough Amd Radeon r9 290x because i though it was an easy GPU to hackintosh...

I have a very old "helper" GPU and i boot into Catalina using that gpu and as you see on the image everything exept gpu is working nicely, so the only thing i miss is to get the GPU working.
I really need help with this as i feel i have tried everything google can offer.

my EFI is attached below.

When i try to boot, it shuts down somewhere in the loading...
----
Hardware:
Gigabyte z170x designare
Amd Radeon R9 290x
i7 9700k
----
Bios settings:
storage boot option - UEFI ONLY
(a step in the installation i couldnt find the UEFI partition without having this setting on Legacy, but now i find my clover bootloader having this setting on UEFI ONLY)...

XHCI - enable
VT-d - Disable.

And i have tried on and off the "IGPU" because people say different things..
i have tried 100 other things with bios too... but this is where im at now.
-----
i feel i tried everything
fake id,
amg8000controller
different boot flags, i have done it all i feel,, but nothing seem to work.

the best thing would be if someone could share a working clover confg.plist, or have any idea what i need to do.....

Thanks. i need your help.

Do you have Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts in Clover/Kexts/Other?
Have you enabled RadeonDeInit in config.plist?
 
yes... i did all this :p i feel like i have tried everything. really.
here is my EFI.

So here i am now.
I can only access "Boot macos from hackingtoshHD" when i have "Storage bootable control on Legacy" i know this is supposed to be Legacy, but i remember from my previous hackingtosh that i had this on legacy and that build worked 100% :p

pic 5877 is on legacy..

do i need to find a way to find "Boot macos from hackingtoshHD" when "Storage bootable control is on UEFI? or how is it :p

Try this. Disable IGPU, remove the helper GPU, use only the R9 290x, connect HDMi or Displayport to the R9.
 
You are a living god!!
at least now i know this folder work.

Couldnt mount the EFI for hackintoshHD tho.. to make a bootloader without USB.
but i guess i can google my way to that.

allso the HackintoshHD have really no space (tried to put i video on it but it didnt work)
