New AMD Radeon VII on my Hackintosh

[iLikeHackintosh]

Only issue: noise

I suppose that you might find Alphacool Eiswolf 240 GPX Pro AMD Radeon VII M02 - Black intresting?

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.

This card requires proper SMBIOS!!

You shall use iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS, otherwise this card is not fully utilized. Also Mojave (10.14.5 as minimum), also you have to update Radeon VII vbios to the latest version.

My BIOS SMBIOS is how you say above, and I'm on 14.6 Mojave, all is unto date and how it should be. I have today had a new Radeon VII card in my computer, and, so far, no freezes / crash.. yet - I'll report back if it does though.

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.

Any updates on the new whatevergreen?

As I understand, it was broken hardwre issue?

Yep, new WhateverGreen completely fixes the boot issue. I've had zero bootup issues for the past month since updating WhateverGreen and Lilu.

FWIW, i never had the glitchy mouse issues, but may have stumbled on the issue when troubleshooting a separate issue.

I had to disable my iGPU (i have since gotten it working properly again) and when i booted into macOS with the iGPU disabled (I'm using imac19,1) i had the choppy/glitchy mouse issue appear. As soon as i got the iGPU working again the glitch went away. i know you are on an x299 and don't have an iGPU, but maybe you were using a system def that expects it (like imac19)?

Any chance you can elaborate on the process of updating the Radeon VII vbios? Does this have to be done in windows?
I have a Sapphire Radeon VII on it's way...
