El Capitan and Radeon HD 6350: only have 5mb of vram after install.

[benamation]

Hi! I installed El Capitan on an HP 8200 Small Form Factor Desktop and everything installed great except the graphics are listed as "Display 5mb" in the About This Mac.

I read that the Radeon HD 6350 could use a Clover FakeID (0x68E01002) and in fact it now shows up as an ATI Radeon 5450 Series but it still only has 5mb.

Everything I have read says I have it setup right so I'm just very confused. If anyone can offer any suggestions I would appreciate it! Thank you.

I don't think the HD 5450 is supported either. Go check /S/L/E/AMDRadeonX3000.kext/Contents/Info.plist for supported device IDs (search "Cedar", that's how your chipset is called).

ATI 5450 works perfect heres my full guide. [Guide] Enabling ATI Radeon HD 5450

Yes, what I ment is that HD 5450 device ID is missing in the drivers as well.

@benamation: can you verify in the system profiler that the device id spoof worked?

Hey thank you for getting back to me!

I used your guide exactly jbamford and it didn't work. Still says 5mb of video ram.

System Profiler says the Radeon card name but still says 5mb of video ram.

I'm so stumped!

My guide is only for ATI Radeon 5450. I thought you had one hence why i posted my guide. You need to use a FakeID for your card I'm not even sure if the ATI 6350 is supported in OS X. You might be better changing your GPU to a 5450 or maybe a 6870 or a 5770 if you can find one cheap enough on eBay. You can still buy the ATI Radeon 5450 I've bought another recently. If you do go with a ATI 5450 be sure you go with the Sapphire not the XFX as it has problems in OS X.
