macOS Sierra PB: Need testers for new AMD Radeon drivers!

[Gigamaxx]

Updated through app store with no problems. I'm using FakeID to get my RX480 working and it is still working with 10.12.4. No more full compute core unlock edit though.

If you saved the AMd4100kext you can use it so far in 12.4 beta 8. If you made a copy of the RadeonX4100 modified kext you're Ok! There was a PSA warning around here somewhere?

How you do? I'm on 10.12.2 (16C67) and want to update, I have my RX 480 Working with FakeID

If you can update to 12.3 first, then save copies of the AMD4100kext and put in a folder. After you update to 12.4 use the 4100kext to do the modification and then replace the 12.4 with the modified version.

Primero instalar 12.3 y guardar AMD4100kext en in folder y luego instalar 12.4. Modificar 4100kext/RadeonX4100 y usa para remplazar version 12.4. Si sirve!

12.3 first/primero, save/guardar 4100kext, update/instalar 12.4, modify/modificar RadeonX4100 ("Enabling All Cores AMD Fury Cards "see Flor!ans post") install/instalar modified X4100.

Es posible de actualizar en este momento a la 12.3? Yo no quise actualizar mas en las betas porque empece a ver que habian cambiado muchas cosas para lograr correr la RX 480, mi monitor esta via mini-dp to DP cable

No sav, guardar in copion de 12.2 4100kext, espera y yo checkar.

I don't know, I will check, but save you 4100kext.

I don't know, I will check, but save you 4100kext.

Sure, Let me know if you have. thanks I want to keep at least my system a bit updated

I think Gigamaxx will be in a better place to answer that, because there are some differences between the RX 460 I am using and the RX 480 you are using. If you are using Inject-ATi = false already, you will probably be able to update without any problem, but he will be able to answer that more completely.

edit: you will also still have to make the edits in the 9510 and 4100 kexts similar to what you did in the 9500 and 4100 kexts.

Revod is in 12.2, he missed the 12.3 update now 12.4 is only available. Any way to only update to 12.3? It's a shame, 12.3 was the best version for RX 480 support, 12.4 may not be able to do the CU fix until the values get fixed, at least for the Fury card mod thread. Mork' fix may work though since it's in a different format (data values).

Apple macOS Sierra combo update Direct link, i normally prefer to update this way rather than update via Appstore due to the appstore update files corrupt occasionally.

I'm using Gigabyte RX460 4GB. It was necessary to use Mork's Berbice FB-patch for RX460 from post #2130 to get Displayport running after updating to 10.12.4. Displayport works now, but DVI don't.

Edit:
@Mork_vom_Ork - regarding your Berbice-patch from post #2130: could you please verify your DVI-patch (which obviously begins with 0004 like other DisplayPort lines)?

For folks that want good audio through a 3.5mm jack. I use the below DAC. It doesn't look like much, but it's freaking amazing and I don't just mean for the cost. It made my Kanto YU2 speakers sound WAY WAY better. I use it in combination with the USB isolator adaptor also, which completely removes the noise my mobo leaks into the USB ports. Even the special so called gigabyte DAC USB ports introduce noise.

They are pretty ugly DAC's, but I have mine mounted internally in my case, with a 3.5mm jack adaptor fitted to the back of my case, so I can plug/unplug different audio devices etc.
Now I have removed all the onboard audio kexts etc. as I don't have any need for them.

May I suggest an alternative to that? considering its price, I'd get this one. (I have it)

It comes with metal body, headphone jack and it sounds amazing and you dont need any tweaks to make it work under macOS.

I updated my build to 10.12.4, and I apply the CU limit again(only the first 2 values) , and I am getting very similar scores in beenchmark and Luxmark. I think it still works.

Did you do it using iHex?
