Hello guys, I'm on El Capitan (10,11,1), with my R9 290X (Gigabyte version)
I use this settings in config.plist
FBName : Baladi
Ati Connectors Controller : 8000
Ati Connectors Data : 000400000403000000010300120403030004000004030000000101001102010100040000040300000001020021030202000400000403000000010400220504040004000004030000000105001000050500040000040300000001060020010606
Ati Connectors Patch : 000400000403000000010100120402010400000014020000000102001102010400040000040300000001050021030202000800000002000000010300220503030400000014020000000104001000060600040000040300000001060020010605
Inject Ati : true

My card is recognize like a R9 290X,(fans work ? I think yes, because I hear some noise when I make a GPU test), but there are graphics artefacts.. (I've found a solution > Just change the resolution (like 1360x768), and back to the native resolution (1080p))
And I can't use two screen (2xDVI) >> After boot with one screen, I can switch on the second screen but he stay black.. OS X recognize 2 screens, and I can move a program on the second screen

Any help ? Thanks :D

We could start the unhappy R9 290X owner's club, but no, this card is really good.
We just need to find the right framebuffer and ports patching...

I can witness this is one of the best cards for final Cut Pro X / Compressor encoding.
I didn't find yet a video encoder able to fully use it.... rare are the openCL encoders...

(i'm french too)

Salut !
 
Yeah, I've found a solution for my AMD R9 290X GV-R929XOC-4GD (Gigabyte ; 2 DVI-D ; 1 HDMI ; 1 DisplayPort)

Would you be willing to post your current config.plist from clover? I've also got an X58 system that I'm trying (without luck) to get working with a R9 290-- and might attempt with an R9 290x if I get a chance.
