Did you clean up your config list or start with a new one? Often things get forgotten but anyhow, you should attach your efi, also paste terminal result of
kextstat | grep -v com.apple

Hi pinktank, I clean up my config.plis.

Here the output of kextstat | grep -v com.apple

I found com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower that is a Software I installed 4 or 5 years ago... tonight I'll remove it.


Attached my config.plist (removed Board-serail number and Serial number).
Thx.

Sapphire PULSE RX 560.....
Installation was a breeze and everything is working so smoothly.

Do you need to patch anything ? or Kext like, Lilu ... whatevergreen or is it just working out of the box without any hacking? How about the Fan control, does it work ?

Back to Mac pro 6,1? At least try 15,1 that matches your processor. Anyhow, you still have fakeid and inject ait in your config list, and I don't know the current state of applhda. Maybe try whatevergreen + Lilu. Again, you might want to make your own thread with proper error reporting.

Since op has the 560, I thought I'd ask here too, multiple monitors and sleep work alright with it? Does one leave igpu enabled?

Yes, I have 3 monitors attached. It's working perfectly. Sleep works fine. I have disabled iGPU as well.
 
imac i think, but I need to double check.
 
"The Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB is the only current generation AMD GPU identified correctly in macOS.
This is due to it being used in the official external graphics dev kit.
There are two part numbers for this particular RX 580:

1. 113-4E353BU-O4E
2. 113-4E3531U-O4V

macOS checks 4 either 1 of these Part # in order 2 show everywhere “Radeon RX 580” instead of “AMD R9 XXX”.

There are a couple of solutions to remedy this cosmetic issue.
The easy way is to edit the controller file in macOS to show the right name for your AMD GPU. This has to be done following every macOS update.
The more permanent way but more involved is to edit the VGA BIOS to show itself as 113-4E353BU-O4E or 113-4E3531U-O4V."

Here’s the procedure and this must be done on Windows-PC:

1. Save the original VBIOS of yo RX 470/480/570/580 with ATIWinFlash (download it and save on C: as "ati").
Don't 4get: make an extra copy of the ROM in case somethings will go wrong.
I own a Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB.

2. Take note of the part number of yo lovely card, in my case P/N 113-1E366CU-S5S.

ATIWinflash_data_P:N.PNG


3. Open the VBIOS (rom) of yo card in a Hex Editor of your choice, I used HxD 4 this and search 4 yo P/N.

BIOS_P:N.png


4. Then replace yo P/N with the desired P/N that macOS identifies as “Radeon RX 580”. I used 113-4E353BU-O4E.

5. The new ROM will have an invalid checksum, so you won’t be able to flash yo card with ATIWinFlash yet.
To cope with that open yo ROM in PolarisBIOSEditor. It will tell U 2 save the VBIOS in order to fix this error.

6. Now simply save yo ROM as... I saved as "bios".

7. Then ask Cortana 4 "cmd", open it as a admin and type what U see on my next screenshot...

8. Now restart yo rig and shutdown. Well done ! :clap:

I tried flashing my GPU (Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB) using this method but it caused my system to crash during boot. Just before the login screen, the whole screen gets filled with rainbow garbage. System unresponsive.

Not sure if this is a problem caused by the newly flashed bios or my clover boot configs.

Any ideas?
