Hi sorry this is not in the expected format, it was hard enough doing the Mac never mind trying to understand the build post page, well, this isn't really a build post, it's more a R9 290 non X post . Please allow, thnx., after many many attempts to get this Asus R9 290 Direct CU II R9290-DC2OC-4GD5
https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics-Cards/R9290DC2OC4GD5/ to work on an Asus Maximus Gene VII, i7 4790k 'Sierra' build... , I've finally done it. I'll attempt to explain how with lots of pics and few words. Oh, I'm using the display port at 1440 currently, I have not checked other ports yet.
1. I installed Sierra according to this video,
2.Plugged in the R9 and booted from internal gpu via the bios.
3.Copied this 2 files AMDRadeonX4000.kext and AMD8000Controller.kext from system/library/extensions to a folder on the desktop.
.
4. Right mouse click the AMDRadeonx4000.kext that's in your folder on your desktp and select 'Show Package Contents', then open the 'contents' folder, you will see this
.
5. Have TextEdit program icon in your dock, drag and drop Info.plist on to TextEdit
5. scroll down to the 'AMDHawaiiGraphicsAccelerator part and add the last numbers 0x67b11002 where I have down the bottom of this pic
and save.
6. do step 4 and step 5 on the AMD8000Controller.kext in the folder on your desktop
7. Scroll down to the AMD8000Controller/IOPCIMatch part and add 0x67b11002 to the end of the numbers as I have done in this pic
and save.
8. I used Kext Utility
http://cvad-mac.narod.ru/index/0-4 to insert the AMDX4000 and AMD8000Controller kexts from the folder on the desktop back in to 'System/Library/Extensions folder, it also repairs permissions etc.
9.Use Clover Configurator to open the EFI partition.
7.Navigate to EFI/EFI/ClOVER
8 open config.plist with Clover Configurator app.
9. this is how mine looks

save.
10.i used DPCIManager_ML on Mac to get the rom file from the R9 , by clicking the eye next to the card you can select a folder to save it to.
11. I renamed this file to SSDT290 and changed the extension to .aml, SSDT290.aml and put it in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder
, I also downloaded Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext and put them in EFI/EFI/ClOVER/kexts/Other folder.
12. reboot with PCIe or auto selected via bios and hopefully you will have the same results as i.
