    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    @corint1 beta 2 will probably drop early this week. What in your mind is the best way to confirm full acceleration across all applicable areas?

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    Well all the posts seems to be deleted and I just got back so catching up is harder than just going back and reading all the posts. I will just wait and see what the latest is.

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    This can be many things but one thing to look out for is to make sure when clover starts the first time after you ran through the install of 10.14.4 beta and osx restarts for the first time that you boot into the installer preboot option in clover, not your standard mac os instance. if you boot...

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    INTERESTING UPDATE: I have not had a single freeze in 3 days. What changed: - Installed Beta 6 - I decided to add a water cooler to my Vega VII for no other reason than I was bored and wanting something to do. I dont think that changed anything, but it did force me to put the Vega VII in PCI...

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    This isnt a prediction, but i was just messing around with what changed in the kexts throughout the betas and looked at the hardware apple released. I think optimizing for the vega 64 was a priority in 10.14.4 since they are now using it as an internal native card. some ground work for the...

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    Latest UEFI bios for vega vii from AMD My configuration right now is iGPU enabled (Intel 630) and set as primary, vega 64 in slot 1 and Vega vii in slot 2. Screen plugged into vii. There is no particular reason for the config other than swapping cards in and out and this was what it was...

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    Beta 6 installed. There are updated files in the kext container but no native id. Used it for an hour this evening with no issues. But I don't want to jinx it. Will add more Tuesday after a full day of use.

    With your screen plugged into the Vega VII and iGPU as primary what does system information say under display adapters? It should say Metal supported for the Vega.

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    I got one solid freeze last night. I again switched back to the Vega64 as the primary card for now. They are either working on real drivers, or we are just lucky that the 500 kext works with the VII because of its Vega based architecture. I mean, they have solid working drivers out for Linux...

    Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

    so, here is what i tried and ran into: vega 64 and vega vii without adding the vii id to the kext: vii doesn't produce video output (black screen), vega 64 works vega 64 and vega vii with adding the vii id to the kext: vii works with acceleration. freezing still happens but it recovers. vega 64...
