Any one successfully config PowerColor HD 5450?
 
Hi, guys!
I did a clean install of OS X Mavericks.
Followed your screenshots exactly, but when I looked up at my About This Mac window, its said
ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series 5 MB
Even though its a 1024 mb Graphics card. Can you help me out?
config attached

So much information here that it's easy to get lost in it.

I have the Radeon HD 6350, which apparently follows the guide of the ATI Radeon 5450. Here's what I did:;

1. Sierra Installer on USB flash drive.
2. Boot flash drive, select options, inject ATI, main menu, press space bar, select safe mode and verbose - used safe and verbose for entire installation period until I got to Multibeast.
3. Install and configure multibeast for your particular setup.
4. Download and run 'Clover Configurator' - Google it.
5. Left hand side menu - 'Mount EFI' - 'Mount Partition'
6. 'File' menu - 'Open' - 'EFI-EFI-Clover-config.plist'
7. Left hand side menu - 'ACPI' - 'Fixes' - √ 'Fix Display'
8. Left hand side menu - 'Devices' - 'Fake ID' - 'ATI' - "68E01002"
9. Left hand side menu - 'Graphics' - √ 'Inject EDID' - 'VendorID' : 0x1002 - 'ProductID' : 0x68E0 - √ 'Inject ATI'
10. Save and close Clover Configurator
11. Locate 'AMD5000Controller.kext' and 'AMDRadeonX3000.kext' in /Volumes/YOURDRIVE/System/Library/Extensions/
12. Right click - Show Package Contents - Contents - Open 'info.plist'
13. Verify that 'AMD5000Controller.kext' contains:
<key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x68981002 0x68f91002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 </string>
14. Verify that 'AMDRadeonX3000.kext' contains:
<string>AMDCedarGraphicsAccelerator</string> <key>IODVDBundleName</key> <string>AMDRadeonVADriver</string> <key>IOKitDebug</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>IOMatchCategory</key> <string>IOAccelerator</string> <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x68f91002 0x68E01002</string>
15. Save everything, reboot, and bask in the lukewarm glow of nine year old technology.

@RickSanchez I'm very new to hackintosh, I just installed hackintosh on my very old pc which has this 5450 graphics on it, I followed your guide, but still not getting the correct output from the driver. I'm currently on Catalina 10.15 .
Should I downgrade to Sierra?
Are all amd kexts files the same for different versions of OS? Since I had to download AMD kexts files separately which was for the Yosemite version.

Can you please provide AMD kexts?

Hello @VioletDragon, I´m trying to implement your fix for the Radeon HD 5450 on 10.11.6.

Please, don't pay attention to the specs on my profile. The fix is for a friend who's new to hackintosh. The specs of my friend's computer are:

- Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 7
- i7 7700K
- Radeon HD 5450

The PC is currently running 10.11.6 due to a Firewire Audio interface he is holding on to. so we cannot update the OS any further. My questions are:

1. Is your fix working on 10.11.6?
2. Is changing the values in Clover Configurator (as shown in your guide) enough to get it working?
3. I've noticed you edited your guide on post one reporting:
21 May 2016. No known Problems 10.11.5
Would you recommend downgrading to 10.11.5 for best compatibility?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers
 
@VioletDragon: Can you please help me with enabling VGA on my ATI Radeon HD 5000 512 MB under High Sierra.
HDMI and DVI works perfectly, but I need to switch my monitor, which has also VGA, with another system which has HDMI only.
So I would like to use the DVI and VGA port for my High Sierra system (dual screen)

Thankyou
