Hi Folks,
So my setup is as follows:
- Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5
- Intel 8086K
- High Sierra 10.13.6
I'm currently running with the Intel UHD630 GPU. I had injected the Intel driver within Clover when installing 1st time using Multibeast..
I'm currently using this hackintosh on a movie set for 4 weeks. I need a better GPU to work with Color Grading and movie software, so my budget only allowed me to buy a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8 Go (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B071Y7CKM2/?tag=tonymacx8607-21).
Now for one thing, it's not cleared from the description on the Amazon site: is this PCIE x8 or x16 ?? Not even sure what the heck I ordered here lol.. But anyhow, this is out of scope!
This card is supposed to work "out of the box" within 10.13.6, correct? I really cannot afford big problems and need to change my configs so that my hack works with it, including any hw acceleration, etc FAST... I cannot allow myself to spend much time on this, and moreso cannot "break" my installation... cause no time to fiddle around it while on the set working and backups / video transcoding need to run.
Could anyone share with me exactly what I'd need to change with my install? BIOS, Loaded kexts, Clover plist, etc. to have my new RX580 GPU fully properly working in OSX 10.13.6 ?
For info, I don't have any kexts within my CLover/Kexts folder, except FakeSMC.kext. The rest, I installed within /Library/Extensions/:
Also, here's my current BIOS settings:
M.I.T. → Advanced Memory Settings → Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P.) : Profile1
BIOS → Fast Boot : Disabled
BIOS → LAN PXE Boot Option ROM : Disabled
BIOS → Storage Boot Option Control : UEFI
BIOS → CSM Support : Disabled
BIOS → Secure Boot : Disabled
Peripherals → Trusted Computing → Security Device Support : Disable
Peripherals → Network Stack Configuration → Network Stack : Disabled
Peripherals → USB Configuration → Legacy USB Support : Enabled
Peripherals → USB Configuration → XHCI Hand-off : Enabled
Chipset → Vt-d : Disabled
Chipset → Wake on LAN Enable : Disabled
Chipset → IOAPIC 24-119 Entries : Enabled
For using Intel iGPU:
Peripherals → Initial Display Output : IGFX
Chipset → Integrated Graphics : Enabled
Chipset → DVMT Pre-Allocated : 128M
Note that I had enabled the Intel Quick Sync in this setup.. Do I and should I still have this enabled ? Would it help anything in terms of video encoding ? Must I change my SMBIOS for instance also ?
Along with this, I'm including my config.plist and full EFI folder.
If there's a real simple "howto" for this card, I'm a taker.. Haven't quite found it yet.
Much thanks !
Pat
