Hello guys!
I really need help in relation with using FakeID. I'm running El Capitan on my PC.
I already used FakeID (frankly, just tried to). As you can read in the title, I have a Radeon R9 270. This is not an OOB card, and I'm aware of the fact, that I need to do some spoofing.
I went into Config.plist and set the things I read in the "Radeon Compatibility Guide" section 4. This is how the FakeID part looks right now:
So instead of the 'Display 5mb', in "About This Mac", now I see an encouraging 'AMD Radeon R9 270 5 MB'. And trust me, I can feel that it is INDEED not using 1 single MB more than 5 MB. The system is sluggish, videos in 720 are lagging, etc. Interesting though, is that when I booted up, the system did automatically set the correct resolution for my display.
I'm very new to the Hackintosh thing and I have absolutely no idea what I did wrong, so please, if you know how to solve my issue to have full gpu acceleration, help me. And also, if I may ask, please make your helping answers detailed, so even me, a complete beginner could understand.
My Complete Specs:
Have a nice day everybody!
