This is such an excellent guide thank you carpentryplus25
Once I realised I could follow your template without understanding I jumped in and have more or less got ready to test and troubleshoot, yet am stuck at a schoolboy error of kextcache cleaning.
iv'e not found any reference to this error in google so have tried NVRAM and kext cache cleanup tool which does not do this job,
so before I even get to test it I think I should clean my cache properly and then see where im at....
any ideas here?

[Success] Me too. I also think that this guide is very useful - especially with the another article/forum ("Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards").
Since the web driver for my own NVidia GTX 1080 TI board has never provided for the latest MacOS ( Mojave - 10.14.1 too), I have decided to jump into the AMD world. So , I purchased the ASUS RX570 8GB ( Port Layout: DP, HDMI, 2x DVI --> So, Frame Buffer: Lagotto ).
After reading the 1st post of this article, I have begun to prepare to use RX 570 on my Hacintosh.
The major reason to buy RX570 is :
1) The GUI performance of HD530 is not so bad except some heavy-duty-graphic-workload applications ( ex. Google Map).
But I need to have much GUI power beyond HD530 has -- minimum nearly half power as compared with my previous graphic board (nVidia GTX1080TI).
2) In addition to above reason, one more I have another reason, it is the function of vertical use ( 90° Rotation - portrait ).
Unfortunately, i7-6700K Onboard(HD530) has no capability on its native driver.
3) After trying to have the best-macth installation for RX 570, I have reached the position that provides natively the rotation function without any other software.
I added the evidence that shows all of you for natively the rotation function - as attached below
---------------------------------------------------------
<< Restriction on using portrait screen: >>
a) Thru test and error trial, I found the issue. Though the system control panel - Display has the function when Apple-provided driver for RX 570 has the capability for portrait screen-style., but its setting-data has gone after log-out ( and /or Power-off). Therefore, do not keep the setting-data beyond the Power-Off-and-Power-on .
Note: When I use GTX1080TI, these un-convenient operation does't need for me.
To have the quick back from Horizontal (Landscape ) to Vertical ( portrait ) and "its reverse operation before power-off", I took the additional software ( SwitchResX ) with some license fee.
- When you install and have the customizing "menu" ( and purchased if you like ) for this software, you can easily to go back (landscape : normal ) and forward (portrait : 90°rotation ). attached two image below ( when iMac 17,1 was defined )
-> one is for top menu, the other is for context menu.
b) some applications :Not working when vertical use -> pls choice another application ( ex. CClear, Web browser )
- Onyx
- Preview, ColorSync utility
- and others
Note -> These restriction was dis-appeared while RX570 native support was worked natively ( When iMac 18,3 was defined )
---------------------------------------------------------
I would like to show you the evidence that my RX 570 is running correctly/normally as iMac 17,1 ( Later changed to iMac 18,3 ) - below.
And also - other screenshots ( Graphics, KextPatches, Kext-Installer-Log of Clover-Configurator ) of current Clover.plist are shown below.
Note) as you know - maybe, the merit of vertical display ( portrait) is the capability-of-one-view-so-many-lines, sample screen shot is attached below too.
I am very happy to share these tips/hints/experience with you.
