What @miliuco said. Just did a z440 and went xfx Rex 6600 Xt 308 merc for 200 bucks off eBay. Better perf than my older Vega way less power draw and one boot-arg and done. No issues

in my reply.. forgot to say thanks for taking the time to weigh in...

my thoughts as well.. but before blowing coin I dont have.. thought I would try and get someone with 'eyes on' to verify .. seems like its a low risk deal. My other option is to take my Vega56 from another build but was wanting to keep it in that machine primarily to still run Mojave as I have...

anyone verify rx 6600 xt 308 MERC from XFX working? I have seen reports of 308 swift or quick.. I think it would be identical other than some performance tuning in the card... ie a different soft table?

@odisei or anyone else running the 6300 with a 710 anyone able to play back 4k? DRM? I have the 6300 with a i3-2120 yeah I know don’t snicker I am having to use it to run Mojave for some minor but important 32bit app’s and with OC 8.4 and @Sniki oc folder all is working great with both...

Thought about it.. at one point I think back during snow leopard. I was working with a project that was using some parts of chameleon and a really well put together dsdt/Kexts specifically for d975 and Dx58so boards.. and as I transitioned to clover I started off legacy I think But at some...

it wasn't bad until hardware cards and clover got heavy into needing fully working UEFI and nvram.. of which the older intel motherboard suck at ... the UEFI on the dx58 is awful and doesn't have a shell, doesn't have any way of maintaining the UEFI boot list, has no bios switches for...

I would be happier if WEG would get the VEGA to boot into multi monitors without having to dickdance sleep/wake/hotplug/sacrificeacat/stand on one leg BS

@qbe @slipanot yeah.. pretty much what I was thinking the result would be... artificial benches are mostly NOT a good indicator or real world performance any more. too many benches are written highlight hardware.. and too much hardware is optimized to pass benches... its a self licking ice...

Thanks guys. Back in the day when I had hair and was hackintoshing leopard and snow leopard. intel board were doing great and rumor had it that apple was actually using some intel g45, d975, and dx58 boards as dev platforms especially during the move out of PPC g4/5 the airboost looks reference...

what is your luxball score like.. I get over 28000 using the radeonfanfix.kext

to be honest I have not really had an issue with the MSI vega56 airboost running with WEG... the fans seem to behave as advertised. The kext I mention gives a nice boost when using a smbios profile where apples power management clamps down on the airboost which is overclocked to boot... so...

I would love to dump WEG.. but in order to get hardware encode on both codecs and DRM.. it almost seemed mandatory I need to upgrade my hardware one of these days to something more 'mainstream' and easier .. I have a hp6300 i3 I picked up for the cost of a 12 pack and that hacks easy.. but my...

with the current airboostfanfix.kext I found, the card runs pretty good.. fans ramp nicely and unlike apple it doest stop and allow the card to run high 50s at idle.. more like mid 30s.. which is nice.. luxball 3.1 is 28080.. and GB4 metal 58350 and OpenCL 50350 is respectable.. video toolbox...

so you are likely not loading SMU then... ?
