Hi @valvator

Everything looks fine. I'm not sure why it doesn't work!

What is the exact make and model of your card?

Ted

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16 GB with Opencor 0.7.9 and with updated kext.

For those who are curious about the file that is linked, it is a set of OpenCore config.plist files that have the framebuffer injections for different Radeons that may have experienced graphics slowdowns.

Just for convenience, I extracted the relevant DeviceProperties sections from each plist file and will put them here.

NOTE: You will have to confirm the PciRoot path using Hackintool, gfxutil, or a similar utility in order to properly inject the framebuffer for your card. If your path doesn't match, then the framebuffer won't work.

Edit: Please use the framebuffers with caution! See this post here from @blaatschaap :

macOS 12.3 Update Causes Problems for 5700/6800/6900 Graphics Cards

I am using the 10900k with active iGPU and iMac20,2 and the glitches are gone after doing the W5700X config patch.

These might not be the correct framebuffers, particularly for the 6900, which might be Belknap. However, a few of us have used Carswell successfully. With the Vega, it was possible to test different framebuffers so maybe it's possible with the Navi's as well. Make sure to test these on an EFI that isn't on your primary drive!

Anyone else getting kernel panic after adding DeviceProperties with an RX 5700 XT?
The problem happens when the computer is waking up after sleeping.

Yep, I get the kernel panics when only injecting "ATY,Adder" like this:

I do not have any kernel panics when doing the full injection like this, although I am still unsure which entries are essential to prevent the kernel panics after wakeup? Maybe some knows? Anyway, the kernel panics are gone when using the following:

Oh thanks. I will check it when my fingers feel itchy again. For now, tired of 12.3 Graphics issues. on 12.2.1 now, which is perfect with Geekbench Metal 46490.

NO SSDT patching, only the above.

Thank you @zhkong for your patch. I worked on this for a few hours yesterday using only the @0,name and so forth, trying ATY,Boa and ATY,Keelback, and couldn't get it to boot.

Added the ATY,EFIVersion and device_type and their appropriate strings, used ATY,Python, and it booted right up. Adobe CC runs smooth again as do my other apps.

Confirmed that the following works with my Sapphire Pulse RX 5500 XT 8GB:

Code:

<key>Add</key> <dict> <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>@0,name</key> <string>ATY,Python</string> <key>@1,name</key> <string>ATY,Python</string> <key>@2,name</key> <string>ATY,Python</string> <key>@3,name</key> <string>ATY,Python</string> <key>ATY,EFIVersion</key> <string>01.01.231</string> <key>device_type</key> <string>ATY,PythonParent</string> </dict> </dict>

NO SSDT patching, only the above.

Thank you @zhkong for your patch. I worked on this for a few hours yesterday using only the @0,name and so forth, trying ATY,Boa and ATY,Keelback, and couldn't get it to boot.

Added the ATY,EFIVersion and device_type and their appropriate strings, used ATY,Python, and it booted right up. Adobe CC runs smooth again as do my other apps.

IT WORKED! Same GPU, but different Root:

Code:

<key>Add</key>
<dict>
    <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>
    <dict>
        <key>@0,name</key>
        <string>ATY,Python</string>
        <key>@1,name</key>
        <string>ATY,Python</string>
        <key>@2,name</key>
        <string>ATY,Python</string>
        <key>@3,name</key>
        <string>ATY,Python</string>
        <key>ATY,EFIVersion</key>
        <string>01.01.231</string>
        <key>device_type</key>
        <string>ATY,PythonParent</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
