Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards

I have an old desktop and I installed Yosemite 10.10.4. It was working perfectly. Last week, I installed the newer El Capitan 10.10.3. Everything is working fine except the graphic card - AMD HD 4550 1GB Sapphire. I followed the post 'Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards, and now the card is recognized but with only 5MB of VRAM.


Anyone to suggest me a solution on my problem?

Show us your config.plist :)
 
Almost same problem here. I've update an old config (p55-UD3R + HD4850).

I followed the post 'Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards, and now the card is recognized as a HD4800 series, but with only 5MB of VRAM, no dual screen nor Hardware accel :(

I try to use the HD 4750 device ID in clover config but no change :( I'm might look after a low budget CG.

I've been building Hackintoshes for the last 6 years or so and I've built 4 now. I always use Nvidia cards because Im a fan boy and they are easy to get working. (best of all Cuda.) The most recent system I built was on the x99 platform and it deff was the toughest to iron out all the bugs. I built it with a GTX 780ti because it has more cuda cores than the 980 and was $600 CND$.

I do a lot of video editing. It is 80% of my job and so I figured the 780ti would haul through 4k video. Well It never has and although it should be an amazing video editing card it just isn't on OS X no matter what anyone tells me. So I more recently sold it and "Upgraded" to a GTX 980. Mostly because of all the hype everyone has over how good the 970 and 980 are in OS X. Yes they are easy to get working and Yes Nvidia is awesome to quickly come out with new drivers. But the 980 still struggled with 4k video in OSX. Im not a noob. I did a fresh install of OS X and clover. Still no improvement. So for kicks I decided to drop in an AMD card. I found an HD 7970 on craigslist for $120.

HOLY CRAP! I can't believe what a difference it makes. Smooth OS X UI. Shreds 4K video editing. I honestly don't get it. Is it because its natively supported in OS X? Is it because it handles OpenCL so much better? Obviously the 780ti and 980 stomp all over it in gaming on windows but WOW in OS X it is awesome! And I'm an Nvidia fan boy lol. I think I'll try to find another one or crossfire it with 280x since its the same card. At least it'll give me some more power in gaming on windows. But this is my honest opinion! It even runs better than my last system which had a gtx 670 4gb. And it was natively supported in ML

BTW: To get all ports working I on the gigabyte HD 7970 ghz I used "Radeon" FB and ATI inject. Just throwing my thoughts and experience out there to anyone who is in my shoes. Thanks.

I'm trying to get a Sapphire 7970 working on my hackintosh running 10.9.5 without any luck. You mentioned that you used "Radeon FB and ATI inject" to get it working on yours. What are these and where can I get them in order to get mine working??

Thanks for your time,
jb

About a dummy R9 390X card .

If I have a R9 280X, with 2 4K DELL monitors in both MINI DP port, plus an HDMI TV on other port, then I add an R9 390X with no monitor, just to use OpenCL Power from this card, it will work ?

The performance will be .... well .... good ?

Something close to Mac Pro "dump box" ??

Can I put a second R9 390X to double the OpenCL Power, a total of 3 Cards ?

That should not be a problem, cause my R9 280x reports the same message but still logs into OS X 10.11.4 Seems more to be a problem with wrong config.plist or wrong framebuffer patch.

Post your infos, so we can take a look at it.

Can you run with your internal graphics? also whats the make of your 280x?
also switch your SMBIOS to mac pro 3,1, 6,1 has been problematic in some hardware combinations. It might not make a difference but its easy to try and quick to change.
