Hi! I have the same motherboard and CPU as you, but, no matter what I try, I can't get to installation. I am stuck at ++++++++Hey guys.
I tried SMBIOS MacPro7,1 today. Everything runs very well except system will pop-up memory error warning while login.
Memory Modules Misconfigured
I am using OpenCore. Anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks.
So I got my Pro Display XDR today and am trying it out. Initial tech hurdle is that MacOS Mojave sees it as two separate 4k displays. I have the Titan Ridge card with both DisplayPort adapters going from my Vega FE to the Titan Ridge Card.
Going to try and upgrade to Catalina to see if it is properly recognized. Color wise it looks great. Initial eyeball reaction is that it feels very much like the LG Oled series. I have a calibrated LG Oled for my client reference monitor and out of the box, the image quality is quite similar.
EDIT: I've tried out the AMDGraphicsFixup.kext and newest WEG and Lilu, no dice. Hoping Catalina solves this...
Most likely will need Catalina with this display. Congrats on getting it!
Thanks! It looks stunning, both picture quality and wow factor in our suite. So I updated to Catalina and it was still seeing the display as two displays, but I added this boot WEG argument: agdpmod=pikera. That got MacOS to recognize the Pro Display as a single monitor...but only at 5K...

That's odd.
Can you go to System Pref > Display > hold Opt on keyboard > click Scaled and check "Show low res modes" and do you see a 6k option?
Apple may be muxing for 6k resolution because most likely it's not a "standard" yet. This is how they used to do to get 5k on their iMacs, they would mux 2 streams together to get 5k. Now its a standard.
6k is a lot of data to push through Thunderbolt. But in your case its going from DP passthrough > Thunderbolt > Thunderbolt XDR Display.
It may require a real Mac unfortunately to reach 6k at 10bit.
If you look at DisplayPort 1.4 specs, it supports up to 5k in 10bit, and 8k in 8bit. The XDR display is most likely a real 10bit display so you're capped at 5k. I bet if you lower the Hz to lower than 60Hz it will support 6k? Give it a shot.
No 6k options when set to "Show Low res modes." All that makes sense. I am going to try the Mac Pro SMBIOS, since a real iMac Pro is limited to 5K due to the Alpine Ridge TB controller used in real iMac Pros...
