High Sierra - RX Vega & Final Cut h.264 fix

[pastrychef]

@pastrychef I just tried to make the BIOS changes per your posts above. I enabled my iGPU (previously disabled) and checked that PCIe was primary (it was). But I don't see any settings in the BIOS to change the memory allocated to the iGPU as per your post. I'm running latest Gigabyte firmware. You suggested these memory settings to @osd29 and he is running a Gigabyte MB also. Any idea why I don't have this option. I made the other Clover DEVICES changes you suggested and left the SMBIOS the same. Will test now to see if that did the trick. Will update here once done.

Check again. On my Asus motherboard, the option to adjust amount of RAM allocated to IGPU does not appear until after enabling IGPU and restarting.

UPDATE: so it appears fixed. I changed the BIOS to enable the iGPU and updated the ig ID to be headless. Also removed the stolenmem property completely. The one last change I made after looking the config.plist that @pastrychef shared in this thread was to remove any reference to Shiki=. My previous setting was Shiki=40. I changed this to Shiki=4 based on prior research I was doing to get the iGPU working. But based on above I deleted it entirely. Any reason I still need that? Regardless, now both FCPX and iMovie are exporting properly. Thanks for all the help.

Just saw this. Will try this now. Thanks.

Thnx this fixed a couple of issues for me:
- Screen recordings are working now (the new shift-cmd-5)
- Quicktime screen recordings are working
- iMovie export file works (before it only worked on Quality: Best (ProRes))

I don't know where you got that config.plist, but I didn't make it.

Are you using Mojave?

If yes, you can get rid of:

• config.plist > ACPI > Drop Tables > both SSDT ones. I don't know if you need the DMAR one, but I've never used it.
• config.plsit > ACPI > FixMCFG
• config.plist > Devices > Fake ID > IntelGFX
• config.plist > Graphics > ig-platform-id
• all those injections in config.plist > Graphics
• config.plsit > KextsToPatch > AGDP fix

I see that you injected the power tables for your Vega in config.plist > Devices > Properties. I have now way to check if you did it right so I don't know if that's a cause of your problems. If you want to keep things simple, just use VGTab to create a kext and remove that property from your config.plist.

"just use VGTab to create a kext" please what do you mean by this? and am about to remove them now hope my system don't crash
