I fixed the problem by going into el capitan beta 6 !

How does the installation of the 290x relate to the mobo and CPU. Will this card work obo with gigabyte X79 UD3 and i7 3930. I have read that not having internal graphics on my CPU could create issues with the install.

I have also read that it will work obo and that I just have to change my system to 6.1. Any insight would be great as the GTX670 is killing me with FCPX

Hi,

I am actually using a Sapphire R9 280X which runs smoothly with Chimera booting from EFI partition. A week ago I switched to Yosemite, as with my eldery mobo it's not easy to install El Capitan. Also I bought a Gigabyte R9 290 hoping, that it would also run out of the box as the 280X, but it doesn't.

I went through many threads in this and other forums and tried many suggested steps, like modifiing kexts, and found no way to make it working properly. My problem is that I am used to Chameleon/Chimera since OSX 10.6. and Clover seems too complicated to set it up.

Is there any way to achieve a full functionality of the R9 290 using Chimera? Is there a way to use the FakeId in there?

Thanks!-)

I just wanted to add that I have a Power Color R9 290 which is working without issues at boot. No screen flicker or monitor which needs to be unplugged.

I use Clover and have used the FakeId of [FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]0x67B11002 for ATI and I also checked of the Inject ATI. With these two options the card did not have QE/CI and moving the mouse cursor seemed to be moving at 10fps.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]What fixed is editing both the AMD8000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext. Inside both of these kexts the Info.plist must be edited which is quite easy.

To edit I used

sudo nano [/COLOR][/FONT]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD8000Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]

and [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]

sudo nano [/COLOR][/FONT]/System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX4000.kext/Contents/Info.plist[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]

I added: [/FONT]0x67B11002 in the end of the <string> below the <key>IOPCIMatch</key> in each of these kexts.

I used kext wizard to repair permissions and have restarted.

After this the card was recognized as AMD 8xxx with 4096Mb and working perfectly.

Cheers,

Raz

FCP X ONly works with AMD. Soooo I bought a Radeon R9 390X for my Gigabyte build. Planning on running El Capitan on the machine but how did you guys get it working??

Nope, I have NVIDIA card and FCPX works too.

That's not true. And in fact, recent updates have the Nvidia 970/980 performing surprisingly well in FCPX.

What's true is that FCPX-- and many non-CUDA compute applications-- run particularly well on AMD GPUs.

Hmmm...must be my version of FXFactory.
