Which macOS are you on? Didn't verify it with anything but 10.13.6, didn't update the machine any further yet. Did you fix permissions after modifying the file?

Why do you expect the fans to spin in idle? Any modern GPU will shut them off as soon as the drivers take over control.

Done, thanks. I guess both are somehow correct (the layout I mentioned before was used in eary Polaris reference cards, I think), but mentioning the layout used/supported by Apple is better, I guess. I've been a bit out of the loop, so: Can someone comment on Vega? Which framebuffer is usually...

You could inject a custom name, but it's just cosmetic. The RX 460 is exactly the same GPU anyway.

Hi guys, I know I'm late, but I just updated my old GA-P55M-UD2 build, which was rock-stable running El Capitan before, to High Sierra and encountered two major problems. Since this board was quite popular at its time and no one mentioned those problems with this board I'm wondering whether...

Did you check wether the 290's device ID is in the drivers in Mojave? Can't check myselt at the moment, can't update yet due to missing WebDrivers. If it's missing, try spoofing it to 290X's ID. Or try using Lilu/Whatevergreen with vanilla Clover settings.

Years too late, but I don't like posts without solution, so: My Asus Z170M-based rig started to show the same symptoms (same wake reason, same problem in Win10 dual boot install). I fixed it by restoring BIOS settings and starting from the scratch with minimal changes (those needed to get macOS...

The Type-C port on your mainboard is data-only, there's no way to use it for transferring video signals. It's still possible to drive it using DisplayLink technology (like you did), but it's quite slow on macOS. In theory you might be able to attach it to a DisplayPort with an DP to USB-C...

Your issues are most likely not caused by the Mac firmware on the GPU (it should only affect pre-OS behavior in UEFI based PCs). Which macOS version are you using? Inject/Ati on/off?

The lag is most likely caused by the WebDrivers, not by your new display. Read up here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-releases-alternate-graphics-drivers-for-macos-high-sierra-10-13-3-387-10-10-10-25.243857/

It's a bug caused by the most recent WebDriver build, details are in this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-releases-alternate-graphics-drivers-for-macos-high-sierra-10-13-3-387-10-10-10-25.243857/

The older driver has to be modified, otherwise it won't load on 10.13.3. There are automated ways to do so though. An AMD GPU might be more future proof though, e.g. Metal support is way ahead of Nvidia.

The 8800GT is prone to failure, so it's quite likely that any "new" used GPU using that chip will fail again soon. I'd suggest moving on to a more recent GPU, e.g. a Kepler series Nvidia card. You'll find more details on using a PC GPU in genuine Macs @ MacRumors forum.

Yes, it'll work using the Nvidia WebDrivers.

Nvidia Kepler or Maxwell GPUs should do it, a recent Pascal GPU requires a newer OS version. If you don't need lots of power I'd go for an older Kepler GPU because of its native support (e.g. GTX 680/770). Older AMD GPUs such as R9 280(X) should also work fine.
