I changed my GPU to a GB Radeon RX 580.
The AMD drivers are pretty awful in Win 10 with erratic mouse and cursors, something that should be basic, cited as a known issue in the fine print accompanying the drivers on the AMD web site. Placing a cursor inside a word makes you feel like a reeling drunk.
Who would have imagined something so basic would be a problem in 2018?
The 580 will not support a second monitor in High Sierra or Mojave with either 2 DP or DP and HDMI cables. That seems to be a common problem regardless of the GPU OEM, many cite problems with their Sapphire version, and the many posts I see on this site have no universal solution including flashing the BIOS, changing the device ID, various spoofs, changing system ID etc.
When the second monitor is turned on SystemPreferences/Displays/Arrangements recognizes the second monitor but the second monitor is blank. The most I could do is move the white bar to the second monitor but that only makes the primary monitor show what the second monitor should be showing.
So apparently there is no reliable way to use dual monitors with a hackintosh in Mojave
Is there a way to fix that or should I just go back to my nVidia and High Sierra as dual monitors are more useful for me than anything I have seen in Mojave. If going forward Hackintoshes will be increasingly crippled what's the point?
