Thanks. I took a look at the bios. The PCIe was set for "auto" so I forced it to Gen3. iGPU is enabled, and headless. (This build is for video work, and I want to be able to access H264.)
No change in performance.
When/if you have the time to look closer at my EFI, you mentioned things that might be cleaned up a bit. I'd be happy to learn what they are, and set things up to be as pristine as possible.
Thanks in Advance!
Hi @kentval
Doing some research on your board, it seems that there's conflicting information, with the majority of the opinions being that it doesn't support NVRAM (although this shouldn't have anything to do with your Vega 64 perf issues...even if it's running at 8x)
However, having ROG ASUS boards in the past, sometimes ASUS actually removes NVRAM support even if the initial BIOS had it (they are weird like that)...but in the meantime, with this attached EFI, we are going to try to see if the latest BIOS for your board does indeed have native NVRAM.
But for now since we're here, let's clean up your EFI a bit and test.
I have removed emuvariableuefi and OsxAptioFix for now. Please make sure you have the latest BIOS and a backup of your current EFI before trying this (And having the ability to boot to restore if you have boot issues).
Have also cleaned up some redundant entries in config file, updated Clover/Kexts/Drivers to latest versions as well as modified the way iGPU is injected in platform entries. But you may experiment that one on your end since you are going headless. If your previous iGPU entries were working better, please delete the current ones in there and put your old one back in.
Also have left your USB SSDT alone, since it's custom. I personally prefer USB kexts, but it's up to you.
Let me know how this works out, but overall, you should see 200k in GeekBench 3 for OpenCL with Vega 64...and Luxmark should be about 30-31k.
Also try VideoProc to see if H264/H265 is fully enabled.
As far as BIOS settings, there should be a bunch of threads about your board and BIOS settings, but leaving PCIe to "Auto" [default] should suffice as modern BIOS auto detects these boards without issues.
