[Success] AMD RX6000 Series working in macOS

It would be nice to break out the Threadripper patches and separate them like with the FX patches as a download.
I did this and supplied a PR on AMD OS X Github repo awhile back, it was revered because users can just disable which patches aren't needed on their own.
@Pavo have you tested with a DSDT to rename the device and or vendor?
check this out.
The CPUID registers to identify the CPU vendor can not be renamed within a DSDT or SSDT. They are read directly from CPU itself. This is how the Emulate section of the OpenCore works, we can emulate the first 8 bytes of the CPUID instruction set with is EAX portion using this section but that's about it. Would be nice to be able to emulate the EBX “Genu” ECX “ntel” EDX “ineI” bytes also, but its not possible yet.
 
Good idea.

Sapphire Nitro+ RX6800 works perfectly with iMac 19,1 and agdpmod boot arg
Reference AMD RX 6800XT working perfectly with iMacPro1,1 and agdpmod boot arg.
 
Since you've all found a way to get one, any clues as to where to pick up a 6800xt?
I got mine directly on amd.com. They do weekly or bi-weekly drops at MSRP now. Get a auto-refresh extension and do every 30 mins, have the window always visible on your desktop and be ready to act quickly.

That would be great, is there a day/time that they're likely to do the drops?
It seems that they could do a pre-order system instead of having a weekly server architecture test by having everyone refreshing pages at the same time.
 
Just got a 6900XT (Reference).


Does this work in Big Sur?
Haven't put it in yet since I'm watercooled. Want to know before I put it in.

It will work in Big Sur but you must have it updated with the 11.4 Big Sur beta beforehand (put the installer onto a USB stick, then run to install on main drive) because 11.3 is troublesome.

Thanks!
I will wait for .4 final which is probably a couple of weeks from now. Was just curious if anyone has tried 6900XT already, since it's in the official documents for support already.

I have the reference 6900XT as well (Asus model to be specific).

Can confirm HDMI and DP are working just fine, haven't tried the USB-C connection as I don't have an adapter.
I'm waiting on my water block from corsair to arrive, but so far, haven't had any issues with the unit under the beta.
