@slim.jim Thanks for the heads up. Been using it for a few weeks now under heavy CPU loads and no issues. I have yet to actually push the card too much. I have the dual monitors but I haven't tried any heavy rendering yet. I typically do large scientific data set visualization.

After changing from iMac 18.2 to iMacPro the 5700XT finally started working correctly.

whatevergreen is loaded. version 1.3.8. I was using the iMac19,2 configuration. I'll try the iMacPro and see what happens.

I have the latest 10.15 Catalina installed and I recently updated to a Sapphire Nito+ 5700XT. My main display on display port (DP) works just fine. I had to make some adjustments to my EFI config since I was upgrading from the iGPU of the 8700K CPU to get it to work but all seems fine. I added a...

Just watch the keynote. Tim talked in absolute. "The transition will be over in 2 years". They are absolutely leaving Intel and x86. If Apple has not switched to AMD at this point why would they? Apple has been carefully watching, planning and executing behind the scenes to prep their Apple...

Fairly sure that *none* of us have access to the inner workings of Apple and what they expect. We debate topics here on the forums. But let's just lay out some items that will come to pass, as stated by Apple, in some finite amount of time. * Apple will still sell Intel based machines for...

To be clear. My belief is that Apple doesn't really care if you create a hackintosh for your personal use. If you create and sell then you will get the attention of their legal department. Also, to be clear, in my opinion, Apple did not *actively* try to suppress the hackinotsh community by...

Apple Silicon is a completely different ISA than x86. Creating a hackintosh with a Ryzen and Intel is straight forward because both support the x86 ISA. For it to happen you would need the following: Somebody to create a Motherboard that holds an ARM CPU that is a perfect clone of Apple...

Um, Tim Cook said the transition is complete by the end of next year in his part of the keynote. They will NOT create a release of macOS 11 whatever that will install on x86 based computers after that time. Tim didn't sugar coat it or talk in abstracts. He talked in absolute terms. Apple has a...

I wonder how long it will take for a Linux distribution? Depending on how Apple locks down the boot loader it could be straightforward. Or not.

Right. I was stating to just be complete. If the OP was asking about running very high core count (greater than 32) on a current hackintosh then you face a choice. Either turn off HT or just deal with macOS 10.x not "seeing" all the Cores/Threads. I have not seen enough of the technical docs...

macOS has a 64 thread limit as of Catalina. You could shut off HT for the chip and just use 48 Real cores..

This is my 3rd major transition with Apple. I have been through them all. (yes I'm that old). Apple's move to Apple Silicon was for a few major contributing reasons. All of which Apple has experience in the past. But let's start with some ideas that had absolutely NO effect on their decision: Us...

@svandive which brand/model of 5700xt did you end up purchasing?

Just to update this thread if anyone is also looking. Running macOS 10.15 Catalina the ASMedia are natively supported. I just needed to actually enable them in BIOS. I guess at some point during the install I had disabled it. The only hardware I had to test it was an OWC Envoy which wrote at...

Yes. I am using without any issues that I am aware of. This is a desktop that does middle of the night builds so it never sleeps so I don't know that I have any of the sleep issues that people talk about. I generally didn't have any major issues. Just mapping out the USB ports was the largest...

I have the same Corsair cooler but I ended up getting https://www.newegg.com/noctua-nh-d15s/p/N82E16835608072 instead. Under full load my CPU temps sit in the high 70s to low 80s. Just a very quiet whoosh from the notua fan which is barely audible in my office. The 8700K is OC'ed to 4.9GHz all...

Software development focused.

Just an update that I let Prime95 Run for 22 hours without any errors. This also involved a compile test in the middle of it and no errors during our compile. The system is sitting at 4.8GHz OC and runs about 80~82C under load (According to Intel Power Gadget).
