AMD FirePro W7100 - single slot gpu / 8gb / pci 6pin x1
x99 Mojave 10.14 Stable system running nVidia K4000
Swapped out for FIREPRO W7100 retail card not oem
First boot....
with no ati flags / lilu and whatevergreen still present in clover kexts
boots into desktop
all dp ports display - connected to dell up3017 with dp
no acceleration ...to be expected, device ids not present
add device id's manually to AMD9000/AMDX4000
dump w7100 bios, red sock / radeon bios decode
edited Lagotto Personality to match
Frambuffer Lagotto - ati 4 ports ( clover auto fills Baladi - 6 ports )
ati inject = card id recognised correctly
# made an error here - ran kext utility to repair permissions / kexts
this broke boot after first restart - so try repair via terminal instead if attempting this
first restart after using kextutility....
full acceleration 2560x1600 monitor recognised correctly - card identified as r9###
need to try with ati flags to fix this
unable to boot after next restart but likely down to using kextutility
only had use of card for limited time - further testing necessary
will update again when I have another test card

will take a look next chance I get,
are you running your w7100.... oem or retail ? 10.14 ? framebuffer ? weg / lilu ? custom personality ?
 
OEM Dell, currently retail AMD - works ok without difference.,
10.15beta6.,
WEG+Lilu.,
Dual Apple Cinema 20"(Aluminium)., iMacPro1,1.,
Any framebufer, injects in clover, nothing
Note: Above 4G Decoding ON in motherboards BIOS is necessary for boot
 
I have my AMD w7100 working in my vanilla install of Mojave on a HP z440 xeon E5-1620v3 by using the fake device ID 0x6938 in clover.
I used clover configurator:
Open the DEVICES tab. Enter the fakeID 0x69381002 in the ATI box.
Open the GRAPHICS tabs, check the INJECT ATI box. Everything else should be blank.
Install Lilu.kext + WhateverGreen.kext
geekbench gpu metal score 24588

Hi, @Úll Mac
Now in 10.15beta8 Apple disallow any changes in S/L/E.
So avoid this method or get non bootable macos and "cant read kernel caches" error.

Use instead method above proposed by @evman (Thanks for sharing)

Sorry my bad English
