Hi All

Modified AMD9510controllerkext exactly as Gigamaxx said but when I dragged info plist back to contents ( it didn't move it, it just copied to desktop?) it did NOT as to authenticate & replace just asked to authenticate?

Doesn't look like kext is loading ( checked using ioregistry) is this why and how do I sort please?
 
does anyone know what i am doing wrong? i got Metal using FakeID 0x67EF1002 (the other id DF was not working for me) +FixDisplay, +AddDTGP, so far so good.

But now i am trying to enable all 36 CUs via Clover. i tried this but no result:
both to AMDRadeonX4100:
(Remove CU limit)
Find: 0f42c889 8b800000 004488b3 99000000 44887320
Replace:90909089 8b800000 004488b3 99000000 44887320

(Change number of CUs)
Find: 48b80200 00000100 00004889 4354c743 7c080000 00
Replace: 48b80400 00000100 00004889 4354c743 7c120000 00

i also tried this ones that i've found online:

AMD9500Controller , 3c6b6579**** -> 3c6b6579**** // PP_DisablePowerContainment=1
AMD9500Controller , 39207878 78004154 592c5061 72742300 -> 58203438 30000000 00000000 00000000 //Change "R9xxx" to "RX 480" by CONATH

i don't know why they aren't working, after all those patches i still got name 'R9 xxx' , still 16 CUs ...

another issue is FCPX 10.3.2 crashing on import, but from what i've read this has no sollution yet :(

Yes I have that card and have it working at full acceleration using this method. Still not perfect but no more artifacts, tearing, or lag when running launchpad.

I wonder if the single slot XFX RX460s work. (with less work arounds)
 
Hello, someone with msi rx 470 8gb?
I installed it and see it correctly in System Report in Sierra, but I get glitches, either disabling or enabling Intel HD 630
 
Hey guys I'm about to update to 10.12.4, I combed the thread and didn't see anything that jumped out at me but I wanted to double check. Is there anything I need to change with the Kext's etc before I do the update from 10.12.3 to 12.4?
 
@Gigamaxx Please help me, I'm trying to get my ASUS RX480 Reference 8G to work but I still geting black screen, I follow this guide and also fl0rian guide to get the 36cores but when I change the conector from the mbo to the graphics card I get black screen, it seems like the pc is working just black screen.

Try setting things back to original and then try this:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rs-for-new-amd-radeon-drivers.197273/page-187 #1861

For the cosmetic part, try this (also a Clover patch):
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rs-for-new-amd-radeon-drivers.197273/page-186 #1853
third patch,

but change the <string>AMD9510Controller</string> to be <string>AMD9500Controller</string>

the 9510 controller is used in 10.12.4 or later (9500 controller is replaced).

note: Gigamaxx has noted there are other changes in store when you get to 10.12.4, i.e. the CU fix no longer works. etc.

Which edit are you trying to accomplish? Usually the RX 460 does not need any controller kext editing.
