isn't that a little bit annoying to you?

Questions for those with an X99 build -
1) Because of the lack of iGPU, it is my understanding that you need a graphics card that is confirmed to work out of the box (OOB), is this correct?
2) I am tempted to buy an old 7950/280(x) card because these work OOB. But really I want to wait for the RX480s to work OOB. It is my understanding that once/if the 480s are used in new MacPros (which seems likely to happen considering the kext evidence) then the 480s would work OOB. Wouldn't there also need to be a Sierra update along with this considering the 480s do not work OOB currently?
3) Is this the typical scenario for those trying an X99 install? How long approximately did you have to wait in the past for OOB function ( a few months, a year)?

Same case here - I have 290x (no longer supported OOB) but I somehow managed too boot my x99-ud4 with dual graphics (5770+290x) but...with issues. I have to "inject ATI device ID - any value works" to force the Sierra to NOT load any drivers for AMD and enter desktop - of course now my 290x works very bad - it is detected with 7 MB of memory). Please check your case because as far as I know most new AMD cards require additional iGPU to init (in my case I try to fake iGPU with a real one without big success)

I feel your pain but there is no other way around atm, till some hero comes and help fix this issue, BTW this issue doesn't happen in real macs. Many confirmed their custom gpus works OOB (290X). So it's hackintosh related.

Yep this is hack issue...
To make the case worse I should say that now I lost my "power" an no longer can boot even with "broken drivers" into Sierra. If I inject ATI in clover now instead of booting to Sierra the PC reboots and enters windows. So there is something really strange here... I am wondering if I change my 5770 with some nVidia card is there any chance to boot Sierra and use the nVidia card - I am talking about cheep nVidia card...

I have the Clover Configurator 4.33.0 an the time is named by me "config.plist" and not boot.plist, is it the right one in any case?
Where I ave to enter this and how? Sorry I am new at Clover, and I am not sure in what to do...

So I'm wondering on the 480 compatibility currently. I know its boot to black screen but i have an intel 4790k so I can set iGPU primary. Im wondering how stable it is currently? I mainly use my hackintosh for video editing in final cut pro and i know amd still works better in that aspect over nvidia. Im also wondering what you guys think. I have 2 280x's in my machine right now and they work quite well for editing and rendering. should I stick with those? or go for a 480? Anyone tested render times yet? Also I run windows primarily for gaming, will I have to enter bios each time and switch back to PCIE graphics each time i boot into windows? or will it recognize the 480 and offload graphics to it?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
