AMD Radeon Performance Enhanced SSDT

[mattystonnie]

Ah! So simply an SMBIOS issue (cosmetic) and does not affect performance?
Any idea why iMac19,1 doesn't work?

Thank you so much man for all your help!!
Mega appreciated.

Edited : You might try device properties : AAPL,ig-platform-id : 0300983E for iMac 19,1 and IGPU enabled in bios, dgpu as primary.

Some are useless.

Did you get this line from radeon boo**?

Hahaha, no. That from you've shared before (fixed my post).

Interesting. Per the Recommended BIOS settings on the Opencore dortania guide, I had 4G Decoding set to Enabled. I had to Disable that in order to boot after enabling IGPU Multi-Monitor. Keep in mind this is on an ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/ac running BIOS v4.30.

In config.plist, setting Device Properties : AAPL,ig-platform-id : 0300983E or 0300923E (per the Opencore dortania guide) both resulted in VideoProc correctly showing HVEC and H.264 support through the IGPU. What is the difference between the two settings?

Geekbench 5 also now shows both GPUs instead of only the dGPU. Metal and OpenCL scores in Geekbench 5 remain the same, around 62k and 53k respectively.

Is seeing only the IGPU in VideoProc the expected readout?

-----------------

TLDR: All I had to do was set 4G Decoding to Disabled, and set IGPU Multi-Monitor to Enabled in my BIOS!

Don't forget : @0,AAPL,boot-display is for the video port that is sending the signal first to the display, for example mine is the first display port so its @0, you can change up to @5 (is the DVI).

Cool , now you have real HEVC working to use with FCPX, Quicktime, etc.

If you want only AMD Radeon HEVC disable IGPU and use SMBios iMac Pro 1,1.

Your correct id for i9 IGPU is 3E980000, so 3E980003 is for the IGPU.

Can you provide me with your Ioreg?

Gotcha. Ideally I'd want all graphic processing to be on the GPU I suppose since that would be a good "division of labor." I'm pretty sure that would result in better render times and generally better performance correct?

My understanding was iMac19,1 was recommended for Coffee Lake CPUs because that SMBIOS allows native power management, whereas the iMacPro1,1 does not have that.

Any way to maintain CPU power management with iMacPro1,1 ?

Just change SMBios to iMac Pro 1,1 and disable IGPU in Bios and you're good.

Power management will be good.

Okay, thank you!!
Generate new serial number, UUID, etc to match SMBios iMacPro1,1 ?

Yes.

Hello Arquicion,

I didn’t tried the SSDT on Mojave, but it should work, go ahead.

Thanks! I will then I tell you!
