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

How does on tell if the card has an XTX chip? I see no mention of it on the specs? This is what it’s called:

Sapphire NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 6900 XT SE GAMING OC Graphics Card With 16GB GDDR6 HDMI / TRIPLE DP​



Thanks!
Looks like we have a solution/workaround for the XTXH variant of the Radeon 6000 series GPUs now! So no worries.

Thanks for the early morning reply @CaseySJ
 
Update from 11.4 to 11.5 without issues! All works really fine, thank you! Cheers :headbang:

Anyone experiencing Wifi Drop off intermittently? I am using Big Sur 11.4, AirportItlwm v 1.3 stable. Waking up from sleep also not automatically connect to Wifi, I have to manually click to reconnect.
It's best to use Broadcom-based WiFi/BT module such as Fenvi FV-T919. OpenIntelWireless drivers are still in active development. Please report problems directly to the OpenIntelWireless developers on their GitHub page.

So I'm trying to follow along but these guys are a bit advanced. I've mostly used your packages to get things up and running...

I downloaded gfxutil-1.81b-RELEASE and ran it on my hackintosh:
Code:
/*
iMac2020 ~ % /gfxutil-1.81b-RELEASE/gfxutil | grep GFX
03:00.0 1002:731f /PCI0@0/PEG0@1/PEGP@0/pci-bridge@0/GFX0@0 = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

This result is with my current 5700 in the Main PCI port. I plan on using this port for my 6900 as well. Is this a valid address to use for the "SSDT-BRG0.dsl"?

Seems the stock SSDT linked may work out of the box as the addresses look the same. Can you please confirm?
Code:
/*
 * This table provides an example of creating a missing ACPI device
 * to ensure early DeviceProperty application. In this example
 * a GPU device is created for a platform having an extra PCI
 * bridge in the path - PCI0.PEG0.PEGP.BRG0.GFX0:
 * PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
 * Such tables are particularly relevant for macOS 11.0 and newer.
 */

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "ACDT", "BRG0", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP, DeviceObj)

    Scope (\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP)
    {
        /*
         * This is a PCI bridge device present on PEGP.
         * Normally seen as pci-bridge in I/O Registry.
         */
        Device (BRG0)
        {
            Name (_ADR, Zero)

            /*
             * This is an actual GPU device present on the bridge.
             * Normally seen as display in I/O Registry.
             */
            Device (GFX0)
            {
                Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
            }
        }
    }
}

Would I then just add the SSDT to this area in OC Configurator and enable. It has a *.dsl extension and not *.aml so wasn't sure?

Then I need a nightly build of the latest WheteverGreen and all should be good?

Thanks in advance @CaseySJ, sorry about the newbie questions...

it needs to be saved as .aml in macIASL application

I also found this on Techpowerup:


Says the card is Navi 21
w/
GPU VariantNavi 21 XTX
(215-121000167)

It is my understanding the XTX chips will work but XTX(H) chips will not. Is it possible I may have to do nothing and the card will work with the current EFI Folder?

No no, you don’t have to follow that guide. There’s nothing you need to do right now. Chances are high that your particular 6900 XT will NOT need this. I provided that link just in case your card fails to be recognized by macOS.

So I have the new Sapphire NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 6900 XT SE card. I installed the card, but I cant even get the machine to post. I have a EVGA Gold 850w power supply. I have the 2 - 8 pin power connectors and 1 - 6 pin power connector all going to the card. Each with their own wire coming from the power supply. I boot and nothing. I just sit and look at black.

Throw back in the 5700 and all boots and works as normal. Am I missing something here? What dumb mistake have I forgotten?? Please help.
