Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Alright, I have now installed the Z490 Vision D into my computer.

However, I still get black screen when I boot into Catalina 10.15.6 installer...
Prepared a USB stick according to the instructions in the thread.

So, blackscreen issue is not related to motherboard choice.

Oddly enough, I am also unable to boot into my existing Big Sur system. It returns back to OpenCore picker after trying to patch the kernel or something. Will investigate soon.

This Navi stuff on OS X is a big disappointment. It is awful that the only good dedicated GPU for Mac is the RX 5XX series, if I am not mistaken.
Please remind us again:
  • What is the make/model of your monitor?
  • Are you using HDMI or DisplayPort (DisplayPort is much preferred)?
  • Does the motherboard have BIOS F5?
    • F5 is necessary because it disables CFG-Lock by default.
 
Mine does that all the time. Sometime I get worried that it will not boot. Does the same on my other machine with the RX 5600xt.
I wonder if it just is what it is, and it takes the OS that long to load the driver. The one in the iMac probably has a more compatible VBIOS that loads quickly. The card is running flawless for me other than the blackscreen between the boot progress bar and the login screen.
 
Hi,

I'm having a similar issue to @elfcake where the progress bar for the first boot stops, but I put it in verbose mode and it turns out to be a panic. The error was:

Code:
Error code 0x0...0, Fault CPU: 0x0, PL: 2, VF: 5

The backtrace kexts were:

Code:
 com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform(6.1),
com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4),
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleSMC(3.1.9),
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCFLGraphicsFramebuffer(14.0.7),
com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9),
com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4),
com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.7.3),
com.apple.iokit.IOReportFamily(47),
com.apple.iokit.AppleGraphicsDeviceControl(5.2.6),
com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(576.1)

It was on kernel_task

boot args were all the default ones from OC 0.61 with -v added of course.



I also have a disk with a windows install on here, and the disk I was using had previously had macos on it. I was hoping to boot live from the USB so that I could use disk utility to format it.

Last time I installed I used the iGPU but now I'm using an RX570, with the correct config and EFI folder of course. Could I install with the iGPU and then add in the RX570 later?



Any way around this?


Edit0: Realizing I should probably clear CMOS after having installed the GPU. Will update.

Edit1: Cleared CMOS and also updated the BIOS from F2 to F5. Fwiw, CFG was 0 before anyway. Booted into recovery. Sorry if anyone took the time to read this!

- Updated straight to latest F5 Bios
- Followed your awesome guide
- CFG Unlocked
- Apple Cinema HD Display 30“ - attached via Apple Dual-Link-DVI to miniDisplayPort via DisplayPort to miniDisplayPort adapter

And no, changing monitors does not change anything (Tried modern 4K display via DisplayPort. This Apple display has NEVER made any issues. I strongly suspect it is this card‘s driver. Like it apparently randomly enumerates the outputs at boot and sometimes it detects the correct layout and sometimes it does not. Ubuntu ALWAYS detects my screen corrently.

I will try the new Big Sur beta. Maybe it includes an updated AMD driver.
 
Hi @CaseySJ thanks for the guide, today i upgrade from the z390 to the z490, but im wondering how can i apply all the configuration from the z390 explained by @luckyal to get the slate digital vrs8 work in here?
 
For Z490 Vision G new BIOS version F7 released with description: Improve UHD BD (4K BD) support
 
Hi, thank you all for putting together all this information

My build is:

Z490 Vision D
I9-10900k
GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT Special Edition
Monitor (just in case it matters): Dell u3415w

My issue:

at boot install, when I select Install Catalina (first phase), after the apple logo loads half way screen goes black. It's an issue with the GPU. I figured this by removing the power from GPU and connecting the monitor to the MB hdmi and I was able to install and boot into Hackintosh. Once I install if I want to switch to GPU I have the same issue.

Is this GPU (Nitro+ special edition) supported in Hackintosh

Any advice?

Thank you

Hello @Aresexe,

In Step 4, which config file did you use?
  • config-AMD-GPU.plist
  • config-Intel-iGPU.plist
Because you have an AMD GPU, the right choice would have been the first one (config-AMD-GPU.plist).
 
omg, I missed that ( I read CPU instead of GPU)

thank you for pointing this out

Do I need to reinstall the macOS, or should I just change that file in the EFI partition?

Thank you

Just change the file in the EFI partition. If you already signed in to iCloud, then transfer the following items from the current config.plist into the new one (in OpenCore Configurator --> PlatformInfo --> DataHub):
  • System Serial Number
  • SystemUUID
  • MLB (board serial number)
  • ROM
