Hi,
I am a beginner in hackintosh and i bought Asus AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB card. I tried to accelerate the card with the help of Phillip's Garage () Youtube Video. But I didn't get accelerated. Anybody help me to accelerate the card with screen shot or video.
Thank you
There's a picture guide "enabling AMD RX 4xx cards in Sierra" in this site. The trick is to remove the AMD4000kext, or if in beta the AMD4001kext from the contents folder, make the changes and then replace. Before you restart you need to use kextbeast, kextwizzrd (from another site) or some kind of kext permissions software.
Try it again using the picture guide and watching the video a few times prior, it will make more sense. You don't need to go into repair disk mode to make the change as shown in video.
There are reports that the Gigabyte and Asus brand RX 480 cards do not work with this process.
XFX, sapphire, powercooler red devil cards are reported to work.
