Radeon RX 4XX/5XX standalone system, AMDRadeonX4250.kext (GVA support H264) does not support HEVC HW

I don't know if that will work for a Z170/HD530 motherboard. Not the same as a Z370.

I seen people using this ig-platform-id with Z270 and B250 motherboards. You just have to find an ID that works your system if you have problems

I think 0x19120001 is connectorless HD530(=6700k iGPU), which works ok with iMac 17,1 system ID.

I've literally read all the comments from this post and still totally lost on which to follow. Can someone summarize this thread please, @shuhung?

As of now, what I did is the following.
1. Enabled iGPU in BIOS with 64 MB (Max MB available).
2. Set Primary GPU to PEG
3. Installed Shiki, Lilu, WEG in Clover\Kexts\Others. - Do I need the IntelGraphicsFixup as well?
4. Set ig-platform-id to 0x59120003
5. Reboot and was successful but it takes a bit longer than iGPU disabled
6. Tested playing Sony 4K demo video and it wasn't smooth. Also, I think its the CPU working basing on Intel Power Gadget. iGPU bar (green bar) never moved.

I'm pretty sure I miss something here. Could someone help?

My system:

• MSI 370i Pro Carbon
• Intel i3-8100
• Gigabyte RX460 4GB
• OS X 10.13.5

Update:
Added IntelGraphicsFixup 1.2.7 and booom. I can play the Sony 4K demo smoothly. From Intel Power Gadget, both CPU and GPU shows usage. But is that suppose to happen? I mean should my CPU be at full speed when playing 4K videos? I thought the whole point is to transfer rendering from CPU to GPU?

wow it seems 10.14 beta 3 has fixed the bug related to freezing rx580 in fcpx with h264 and hevc 8bit. @shuhung Can you check the problem again? I tried and fcpx not freezes anymore. But I do not know rx580 have been used to encode/decode? @@

My problem is when I run Photos.app, after a few seconds the system freezes. log show gives GPU errors. Sometimes the same happens in QT playing Sony 4k demo. Playing 4k demo shows low CPU but the playback is a bit choppy.

I have Rx560 4GB (67ef deviceid). Integrated UHD630 is enabled, 0x59120003 ig-platform-id. GFX0->IGPU and PEGP->GFX0

Acceleration appears to work, but the freezes...

VCPHEVC means it's a software acceleration, so it isn't working properly. Are you using Lilu, WhateverGreen and IntelGraphicsFixup kexts? You also have to enable "Inject Intel" in Clover.


Your IOReg seems to be corrupted. Are you sure you need GFX0->IGPU and PEGP->GFX0? I don't use them at all; you have to use they only if you need.

On 10.14 DP 1, AMD HEVC HW encode / decode OK, H264 decode OK, H264 encoder disabled by Apple.
On 10.14 DP 2/3, AMD HEVC encoding no longer work, HEVC HW decoding work with VLC 3.0.4 but not work with QuickTime.

On 10.13.5, for AMDEllesmereGraphicsAccelerator (RX470/480/570/580) use below patch to disable IOGVACodec, remove SwapID.kext if installed, should fix FCPX freeze without OpenCL performance drop, all CUs work.

hello @shuhung
Today, i got new card RX 460 changing for GT1050 because i think AMD native support from 10.13,
Firstly i uninstall NVIDI driver, uncheck web driver flag after that i install whatevergreen for AMD card( in config file i remove all ig-flatform or fakeID). I run all test openGL, luxmark and i got the point same with internet result when i try to find. But when i ran benchmark geenbenk detect my card is Pro 555 and in Max vidio converter can detect my card to encode by hardware. Thanks so much.
