Enabling AMD RX 4XX cards in Sierra.

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

Boot with these patches, rebuild kext caches with Kext Utility, reboot again. And forget for 95xxController patch

So It's not a major issue, and it's windows rather than OS X, but I've noticed my hack (Z77X-UP5-TH) doesn't like booting into windows with the IGFX set as primary. It'll boot, but it'll use the internal graphics and won't let my network come up either.

Turning the network off and on again fixes that, but i have to manually disable on-board and then enable the RX 480 in order to get full awesomeness from the card to play Overwatch.

Meh.

 

[AlphaFox]

sorry guys, I'm out. switched back to a 1070 after they came out with new drivers, my hope in Nvidia is restored!

 

[avidracer]

Looks like AMD announced a new RX-560 - which differs from the RX-460. Looking closely this resembles the one in macbook pro. Maybe there might finally be a plug and play video card. Ofcourse this is not going for the performance oriented segment.

@Gigamaxx @Fl0r!an . I hope I can get some guidance from you guys. I tried everything and can't seem to get my Visiontek RX 480 8GB working. Although I get a black screen, it seems like computer loaded (noise comes out of speaker when I press keyboard randomly). I am on Sierra 10.12.14. Motherboard Gigabyte Z170N GA-5 with modified 4100 and 9510 kext. Display set to IGPU. Tried unplugging motherboard HDMI and DVI after Gigabyte logo loads and connecting HDMI and DP port from graphics card with no luck.

The new refresh is coming out next week, the rx 580, 570, and 560 are all reported to have 10-20% performance increase.

My Gigabyte rx 460 has never required any modifications to kexts, only the igpu requirement. The 560 will hopefully be the same plug and play but I'm sure you will still need igpu as primary display.

Remove inject EDID, and remove inject ATI, use ATI fake ID 0x67EF1002 (rx 460). Try this first. If ID doesn't work edit the kexts following the guide. For Sierra12.4 use 9510 info.plist and 4100kext info.plist edits.

Intel settings if you haven't used the Multibeast or any other fixes for Intel set Intel ID to 0x19120003, and ig to 0a206080 (SKL CRB 1536mb). Do not inject Intel.

Try these and report back.

P.S it is probably a good idea to get the card working before adding all those patches using clover injection. Ad the patches one at a time to see which ones work and which may be causing you problems.

Hi all, i have been succesfully install Sapphire RX 480 4GB on my hackintosh, thanks to gigamax and all of member on this thread, but how about HDMI audio ? on my hackintosh HDMI Audio doesn't work.

There is a fix thread but when you enable RX 4xx sound it is horrible. It sounds like slow motion lip sync. Apple assigns a audio codec that is not correct. Check out Toledas HDMIaudio script if you want to experiment but beware the sound is horrible and you may need to deactivate if using a monitor with no volume controls. I opened a thread on this but nothing has improved and there doesn't seem to be any way to switch and experiment with loading different sound codecs.
HDMI Audio Through AMD XFX RX 480 8gb Reference Card.

Most people use their motherboard audio or buy a USB audio device. The buyers guide listed the Sabrient and I have two of them they are natively picked up or oob for Sierra. This is the most pain free audio option.

@Gigamaxx : I deleted my entire hard drive and re-installed Sierra. I used Multi-beast with iMac 17.1. I did not inject Intel with multi-beast. I tried all of the recommended steps but they don't work. I get black screen when trying to load just off of the RX 480 with no other display cable connected. When I use integrated graphics, I get the same messages for display and PCI as listed at the bottom for each of the steps.

Tried injecting fake ID 0x67EF1002 with the intel settings for skylake you mentioned with all of the other settings in graphic settings left blank. I only got metal support for Intel graphics.
I tried modifying to add 0x67DF1002 in 9150 kext first. Then in 4100 kext. Same message as below.
