Radeon VII works okay in 10.14.5. But it`s clock and temps are not shown. Is it only in my case?

How are you trying to see clock and temps? Is it application based on one of your apps? If so it may need an upgrade to pick up a newer GPU.
I mean even with terminal command there is no GPU hardware info.
Command:
Code:
while sleep 1; do clear;ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan\|Clock'; done

So it runs with full acceleration on Mojave 10.14.5?
 
Better results in Geekbench 4 Metal and OpenCL compute tests with Lilu 1.3.7 and Whatevergreen 1.3.0 (Mojave 10.14.5)

Just curious, the numbers look lower than scores for the Vega cards. Any real-world experience with Games or Apps like Final Cut? You seeing better or worse performance? How about Windows?
 
10.14.6 has made my Radeon VII much more stable. It now doesn't throw errors at boot anymore.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. It still happens, but far less frequently. We'll see how it goes with a new release of Whatevergreen.

I tried to swap my Strix Vega 56 for an AMD reference Radeon Vii and with the 7, I get kernel panics every 10-20 minutes or so; I'll be doing whatever, then suddenly the mouse response will get glitchy and simultaneously on iStat I can see my first CPU core activity get pinned. iStat reports the activity as system (red) activity. The system will then shortly thereafter crash and reboot itself. The kernel panic is always the same, something about cpu acquisition spinlock timeout, spinlock owner etc.; it's the only time I've ever seen an error on a hack system referencing this spinlock thing. I see many of you are running the card fine; are results right now system dependent? Any ideas on my spinlock acquisition timeout panic?
 
Hi! I've got the Sapphire Radeon VII card. I have issues with DisplayPort connection to my monitor. I get a computer lags and then freezes. But, if I pull the DisplayPort connection, I save it and all is working normally!

Ever heard of anything like that? Could it be my monitor, or the card? Thanks.
