Pretty stable now. Intel UHD 630 (IGPU connectorful) Should be working fine. it can be seen on the istatmenu6. FCPX needs Quicksync to run. The system instead of a long freeze, sometimes it would just freeze for about 1 to 4 secs and you can use it again mostly on browsing on youtube.. removed shiki on my config.plist just now and check if it will stutters.

Thanks. I used my High Sierra 10.13.6 config.plist and surprisingly everthing seems fine. most probably im using Vega 64 before + IGPU

For me it's still freezing, and sometimes even with a KP.

I bet it will work, but it depends on the Device ID. There are about 15 device IDs in the AMD10000controllerkext. Only about 2-3 are currently available so if it is one of these included IDs it should work. Mojave already has some code for the new Navi cards. I’m 99% sure these cards will work. Once we get a leaked benchmark with the device ID we will know for certain or if Apple announces a new build with one.

Update: See this post for editing instructions for metal support in 10.14.4 beta #49

I ordered the "SAPPHIRE Radeon VII DirectX 12 21291-01-40G 16GB 4096-Bit HBM2 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card".
Should be fun to get this hot rod working.

UPDATE: removed shiki on boot. no more stuttering, Im using shiki=4 before on my high sierra. I already moved my apps for work today. Will see if I can edit in FCPX

I use the MBP 15, 2016 , MacOS 10.14.4.B6 , edit the 5000 Kext and use the Mantiz , Radeon VII is Worked . I try to play game an hour and with out freezing, but only open the online video like Youtube , in 5 second , almost 100% freezing , I think it freezing may be because Viede decoder ? But local Video IINA is fine... I just want to know , you guys had this problem before? Hope tomorrow the new Βeta Version..Can have the new Kext support Radeon VII...
