First check if you have "Hardware acceleration" on in Chrome (advanced preference near bottom)

Then test www.tv2.dk - see if it freezes.

Thanks for your Answer Gaulomatic.
I also want the Vega RX 64 Liquid Cooled Edition.

Benchmark RX Vega 56.

Card is working “out of box” and the only problem I have experienced is sleep.

My rig is going to sleep and wake up perfectly the first time but always crash with blank screen or restart the second time if I use the automatic mode

If I put it to sleep manually everything works fine every time and the machine wakes up with a perfect screen every time.

Has anybody a solution for this problem?

Can you attach you EFI? Sleep works fine for me.

Ok. Chrome crash/freeze when opening www.tv2.dk. and no hardware acceleration.
I've read on some other thread that those problem was solved in 10.13.2 beta 2.

Here you go.

Here you go.

You could try this one (changed some kexts and config.plist)
Vega has to be prime in Bios (PCIe1 surely), and iGPU activated with 64M memory min.

Cheers mate.
I will try this and report back.
Vega is prime in my setup. IGPU is set to disabled because otherwise video in safari is messed up and iTunes don't play my downloaded DRM-protected iTunes movies.

You should enable iGPU and use Shiki for this. Not sure Vega can wake properly if you disable iGPU. And with it, you would have hw accelerated video in Safari and iTunes.

My experience is great as well. Plug in, boot up - enjoy. Even DP-/HDMI-Audio does work OOB! I ran FurMark on the Vega RX 64 Liquid and I got 22.667 points with a on a stock-clocked 4790K with 32 GB RAM on High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta 2. Beside this benchmark I have to say that I never got such a fluid desktop experience on a Mac. Everything runs smooth, no stuttering, no performance issues. Not even on a MacBook Pro 2017 this experience is achievable. Chrome ****s up, but this piece of crap ****s up on a Mac Book Pro as well: Everything is slow, stuttering, low performance everywhere (especially the frickin' dev tools are bugged as hell). So, kudos to Google!

I would say, this card is - by far - the best card for hackintoshers at this moment. I say even for real Macs - but I don't have a Pro, so I can't confirm that.

Hello! I have XFX VEGA 64 Liquid-cooling. I can not find the right boot parameters! Could you help me? My system Gigabit GA-x79-ud5 and i7 3930k and XFX Vega 64 liquid. You can attach your clover. I'm connecting hdmi converter to vga or hdmi-hdmi to TV. Also i have asus R9 280x, it's working to the Sierra and High Sierra too, but no with XFX Vega 64 Liquid. Sorry for my english...

UPD: I picked up the correct clover parameters for logging in at High Sierra 10.13.1 But my screen showed a "broken picture" or a black screen when displaying an image through the first port of HDMI. (HDMI converter to VGA or HDMI to HDMI in TV). Unfortunately, I only have a VGA Port on my display. But, i got access to the screen through TeamViewer and iDisplay and conducted a test in LuxMark 3.1. My result is 22267. Did you manage to get an HDMI port?
