Wow. I'm surprised the 9800 GT still works. I think the 9800 GT was released a decade ago.
It turns out that the 9800 works in Mojave without third-party video drivers. This is true if I run Mojave with the old Chameleon downloader that I used with cats. With Clover, I cannot initialize this video card.Wow. I'm surprised the 9800 GT still works. I think the 9800 GT was released a decade ago.
I'm considering removing/disabling my nvidia card so that I can update to Mojave, and just using the onboard.
Would it be enough to unplug the power from the video card and disable the nv argument in clover? Need to uninstall the webdriver, too (do that after rebooting or before)?
Note I'd plan to remove/disable the nvidia card first in high sierra and then install mojave after that.
Yes all RX 470-580 models work now. For best results use High Sierra or Mojave. Sierra works but may need a few Kexts or other settings.
The RX 580 is just a refresh of the 480 with higher clock speeds. It has the same device ID.
Onboard card is useless for me.
After a long wait, I bought a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PULSE, it was just install, very good, no more kexs and boot flag, is natively support, works perfectly with adobe premier and fafter effects, does not have cuda but has the same performance, I think even better, finally solved the problem of nvida drivers
Spoiler Alert!
Nvidia do not make money from supporting Apple - they really don't make much money from Windows gamers. The real money is made in the Data Centre, Science and AI applications. This is where AMD is moving to compete with Nvidia and it is why Intel is developing graphics processor solutions.
Even Apple is keen to get further in to AI through Smart vehicle technology, which is a tough but lucrative marketplace. If you are not buying top end Nvidia cards by the truck load, then you just are a minnow swimming in the ocean.
