So far, the only comprehensive list of current external video cards that supposedly run on a TB3 enabled Mac is located on the Sonnet website akin to their newest eGPU product. Sonnet claims that all the listed cards have drivers in High Sierra. It's only my guess that a hackintosh running HS...

Dealer said the new 8th gen Cores from i3 to i7 are still 1151 socketed but their new features can only be fully exploited with the newest x370 chipset mobos with e.g. more PCIe lanes to compete with AMD's latest offerings. That being said, it would appear a major CPU upgrade is in store for...

Might be worth a clean install to a spinning disk to avoid APFS (that is auto-intalled on SSDs during format in HS), making an disk image then installing that image to an HFS+ formatted SSD.

Woz and Jobs started out as "crazy guys...and experimental users". Apple has long lost touch with its roots and the community that built the company. They only care about maximizing profit now with their ridiculous image of boutique elegance.

Indeed! The current state of MacPro is a shambles to say the least. While the PC world is in constant progress, Apple is still selling 4year old MacPros at outrageous, no, insulting prices. The hacking community is the only answer to Apple's greed and shortsightedness.

What about someone who figures out how to make a current MacOS function in a non-supported genuine Mac? Is the machine a hackintosh? As for Windows, the converse of your argument is true. A windows license is purchased but cannot be legally transferred from one machine to another AFAIK i.e. a...

Hi @UtterDisbelief Your success with an RX560 may help with my RX550 misssion. Seems the Device ID of the RX560 is 0x67FF which referenced in the AMD9500Controller.kext in High Sierra. The ID may also lay within Sierra 10.12.6 that I'll install in a MacBookPro later today. I've checked all...

The new Sonnet eGPU support list claims functionality for an RX550 (among a plethora of other video cards) OOB. Lacking other info at this time, it appears the drivers the Sonnet uses for the RX550 exist in High Sierra system extensions on my MacBookPro. Today, I've successfully installed El...

Thanks @UtterDisbelief A rich set of threads indeed! I'll explore them eagerly when I have a chance. I'm also waiting for the release of High Sierra that will have support for the RX550 with an eGPU. There may be hope of extracting an RX550 driver for use in Clover and MultiBeast for older...

Irony here: my RX550 OOB works flawlessly running Win10 64bit in 10-bit 4K at 60fps on my ancient, unmodded, 10 year old MacPro 1,1 with a pair of 5160's @ 3GHz and 6 Gigs of RAM on a Bootcamp partition. No other video card is in the 1,1. Cold boot is handed off directly to the RX550 that...
