Hello, I have the following 100% working build:
Intel i7-7700K
Sapphire AMD Vega 64
16GB DDR4 RAM
Corsair H60i Cooler
macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88)
Since I use this machine as a professional Final Cut editing station, I also enabled Intel's QuickSync using shikigva=12 boot-arg and Shiki.kext + Lilu.kext.
As I read online, AMD Vega 64 is working out of the box with High Sierra, but there's one major problem: as soon as I create a new project on Final Cut Pro 10.3.4, the whole app crashes (if there are some projects created previously in the library, it crashes right after its opening).
It's not a matter of EFI folder because I tried EVERY configuration with Clover (even tried the iMac Pro iMac19,1 SMBIOS, but had no clue).
After hours of trying I found and renamed four drivers inside /System/Library/Extensions:
AppleIntelKBLGraphics.kext --> bAppleIntelKBLGraphics.kext
AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext --> bAppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext
AppleIntelKBLGraphicsGLDriver.bundle --> bAppleIntelKBLGraphicsGLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelKBLGraphicsMTLDriver.bundle --> bAppleIntelKBLGraphicsMTLDriver.bundle
After I renamed these 4 files, Final Cut worked without any issue!
Actually only one driver is causing the crash: AppleIntelKBLGraphicsGLDriver.bundle, but if I rename only that one and leave the other 3 untouched, the whole macOS system becomes unstable (some Metal related issues).
I'm glad to have found this workaround, but I'd prefer to figure out a proper fix for this (maybe a Clover patch to AppleIntelKBLGraphicsGLDriver) in order to keep my system Vanilla (that would allow me to do future updates).
One additional problem that I'm facing the GPU fan running at a high speed even in idle (I have installed HWMonitor + plugins to let the system recognize all the sensors).
I'm sure that it's a Vega 64 issue because as soon as I plug my 980Ti instead, Final Cut works without needing to rename anything and fans are back to normal speed.
Here I'm leaving my Clover configuration, hope it helps.. but as I said, it's not a matter of EFI folder.
