[Success] AMD RX6000 Series working in macOS

[emistral]

Hi! I had the same problem with an Asus z490 and RX580. Even sent the board (z490) to RMA twice, they sent it right back, twice I remember CSM solving the issue. But it was not the only thing I messed up with so I'm not totally sure. The issue was more about the BIOS of the graphics card. Something to do with UEFI/Legacy stuff. I would check the GPUs firmware update, and the boards if there is any. Update both. Then try CSM again. I don't know if your boards BIOS has any options around it, if there is, check them also. When I upgraded to a 5700XT, CSM didn't matter. but I couldn't make RX580 work without it, I mean accessing the BIOS and boot options etc., system was working otherwise. I remember being frustrated a lot, hope you won't. Good luck!

I could do that but I have 2 issues:
- i will need to connect my 6800 xt to the monitor via HDMI in order to select windows
- I have an issue with windows and the logging screen. When you press enter to enter your password, the logging screen usually gets blurry and your have the input field to enter your pwd or pin. Except that in my case, a while ago suddenly out of the blue, the screen went blurry but I have no input field to enter my pwd. This is a common issue in windows

use onboard graphics, if possible. if I'm not mistaken what I did was: remove gpu, cmos reset, configure BIOS, boot windows, update BIOS, shut down and install gpu but use egpu, boot windows, update gpu firmware, cmos reset and setup again using gpu. even writing made me frustrated again

That is my next and last tasks before I blame the monitor

Try upgrading to OpenCore 0.7.0 and setting GopPassThrough to Enabled. I'm curious whether or not this allows OpenCanopy Picker to appear on your monitor.

I think I am going to try first a more recent monitor. Even reading it gives me headaches

But that will not fix the "no video signal during POST"?

-wegoff or no WEG at all ?

Depending on the SMBIOS, for example on my machine I'm on MacPro7,1 and not using WEG at all and completely removed it. DRM still works and everything is stable.

Hey gang, been watching this thread since the start — was stoked to see driver support come around, but of course then there were no cards to be had. I'm an idiot and finally bought one from a scalper, because I apparently hate money and need to get rid of it right away.

I'm still running Catalina and a (by now) somewhat outdated OpenCore version. Current setup includes a 5700xt and WEG + agdpmod=pikera, SMBIOS iMac 19,1

I believe these will be my steps, please tell me if I have something wrong:

1) Update OpenCore to the latest stable release
2) Change SMBIOS to something else?? If so, do I need to generate a serial number to match?
3) Update Mac OS to Big Sur 11.4
4) bung in the new GPU and boot the whole thing up

I'm sure I've missed something.

For the windows issue just click with the mouse instead of pressing enter. For me it works 10/10 times

BTW has anyone come up with a way to get temperature sensors and stuff with Navi2? Maybe creating an EC device that VirtualSMC can pass on or some other fancy trick?
