Bonjour y'all!
I have just updated to "Custom BIOS F9i with Latest Intel Micro Code, 0xEA"
PLUS opencore 0.7.0.
and almost everything is cool.
The only thing I noticed is that I lost Thunderbolt Hot Swap.
Now I have to reboot in order for drives to show up.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I...
HWMonitorSMC2:
Hey All,
Since moving over to the latest Opencore boot I've lost the ability to monitor my 5700XT with HWMonitorSMC2
-yes I have "Use the IOKit..." checked
-I've looked up some info and havent found anything relevant yet....
Anyone have some thoughts
Thanks
ok
I'm not running studio - just the free version
deleted the render cache
turned off background render
my export settings look like this:
render completed in 24 secs this time!
I also wanted to give your test a shot:
I'm running 19,1 in headless mode
vega64
and an r9 270x
64mb ram
i9 9900k
compressor 4k H264 = 48 secs
DR 4k H264 = 25 secs
FCPx 4k H264 = 27 secs
so not bad!
I noticed I have a weird entry in my boot arguments:
debug=0x100
is it something I still need? What does it do?
I don't see it in other screenshots in this thread!
thanks
When I first tried RadeonBoost on my system [using iMac 19,1]
slot-1 Vega64
slot-2 R9 270X
I used both the boost and the SSDT and my system would never boot properly.
Then I tried ONLY using RadeonBoost 1.4 for Vega64
Saw marked improvements:
Remarks:
-the one thing I couldn't figure out...
solid here too!
rocking
a BenQ 4k monitor attached to Vega64 [via DP]
an ASUS 24" attached to R9 280x [via HDMI]
the iGPU is in headless mode
no freezes in FCPx or DaVinci
AfterFX is solid as well
This might be a really stupid question....
I have a bootable backup BTW
I tested a bunch of settings using SMBIOS and changed things in RTvariables as well as boot settings on my main drive- looking for that perfect editing supercomputer with amazing render speeds and stability balance...
Hey @CaseySJ
I have 2 questions:
1.
I was thinking of changing my SMBIOS to iMac Pro 1,1 (from iMac 19,1).
Do you think it would be an advantage as a video editing platform?
What would be the best way to do this?
I know i need to change the config.plist under SMBIOS...
But aren't there one or...
Well after some fiddling around my results:
(Still on iMac19,1)
1. I renamed the cards and kept shikeva=80
No h264/hevc
2. Removed shikeva=80
Still no Accel
3. Removed shikeva=80
Enabled iGpu in BiOS-
Yet still booting from Vega 64
And...
Yes!
hardware Accel...
Though i still...
Hello!
Seems like my new Catalina install no longer has h264 and HEVC hardware accel
I'm running:
vega64 in slot -1
r9270x in slot-2
thinking it might be the fault of:
agdpmod=pikera
and
shikigva=32
I removed them [include shake-id=Mac-7BA5B etc etc
rebooted
and still videoproc...
here's something weird-
having just finished a fresh Catalina install
everything is working beautifully...Geekbench5 GPU test = 59136
one thing I noticed is that WEG and LILU are not installed in Catalina/Library/Extensions
The reason being that I did not see those instructions in the...
YES!
thanks again to @CaseySJ
