Enabling AMD RX 4XX cards in Sierra.

Ok, done

I've tested Nvidia gt210, gt710, Nvidia 8400gts and GT730. They all run around $30-40 US and only require inject Nvidia in clover settings to operate and give RX cards acceleration. You get better performance with CPU graphics though so there is a 15-20% performance loss with helper cards in general terms.

On the Bright side there is a user on High Sierra developer beta with a Vega Frontier card using dedicated graphics with a 6900k so the future for RX 480-580 may improve and we may be able to use them normally soon.

Can you run Valley Extreme HD and Heaven at Eztreme settings? These are the GPU standard test many go by. RX 480 runs around 1850-1950 in Valley and Heaven 1100-1300. It would be nice to see well above those for the extreme and extreme hd settings.

Not very good result running in Extreme HD. I have not run the STRIX 980TI in that mode, so won't be able to provide cooperative numbers until I get more water-cooling fluids to install back in system. I'll post those in a few days, along side the STRIX 1080TI. Would also like to test the STRIX RX580, which I have not been able to run at all.

Hi!
Please help. After Sierra 10.12.3 update to 10.12.5 no acceleration (no Metal support). Just modified AMD9510Controller and AMDRadeonX4100.

Hi, Im just trying figure out, what have I done wrong. After I updated those kext files, I got everything alright till Login, at that moment I get Black Screen on both displays... If it boot up in Safe mode, I can see full 8gb memory, but without Metal and with two displays. Originaly did work only one.
I have just one GPU, no internal, so its set to auto or PCIe. Using HDMI and DVI. System 10.12.5

Did I miss any important topic with solution?

Finally..
After update to 10.12.6 RX 470 full working without edit kext, just fake ID 0x67DF1002 but display graphic keep AMD R9 xxx 8192 whereas i already edit AMD9520Controller, R9 xxx replace RX 480 with HEX but the result same

If I inject FB and FakeID on x99 with the AMD Vega card, would it have a negative effect? I still can't get the RX580 going

Does the RX480 need a piggyback GPU? I’ve tried installing this new updated Sierra I can get into the installation area but when it reboots at the Apple logo the monitor flashes at 75% load and freezes

Please help me !
I don't see the "AMD9510ControllerKext" on Extensions folder though i ran terminal to unhide. My card is HIS RX 460 2GB
Thanks

I don't see the "AMD9510ControllerKext" on Extensions folder though i ran terminal to unhide.

The AMD9510Controller.kext is located in the System/Library/Extensions folder.

If your System folder is hidden
In Terminal:

sudo chflags -R nohidden /System

I'm still struggling getting RX580 working with Vega as IGPU for an X99 platform on High Sierra. I tried injecting different FB through the clover startup menu, specifically for the RX580 without any luck. Is there anything needed on the clover config for IGPU on x99? As I'm troubleshooting, I was thinking about PCI-E assignment for MacOS.

On my standard setup, I have the main GPU on the 16/X8_1 slot, and the secondary (RX580) on the 16/X8_3 slot. On this configuration it boots to black screen. No changes even if apply different FB names (Guariba, Orinoco, Dayman). When I look at the IOREG output, the VEGA card is on slot BR3A@3

When I swap cards and install the main GPU on the 16/X8_3 slot, and the secondary (RX580) on the 16/X8_1 slot. I get reboots @ gioscreenlockstate. No changes even if apply different FB names (Guariba, Orinoco, Dayman). When I look at the IOREG output, the VEGA card is on slot BR2A@2

I figured that because the OS sees 16/X8_3 slot as BR2A@2, maybe the VEGA needs to be in this slot? How can I get it to stop rebooting?
