I purchased this card believing it would work straight out of the box. Man was I wrong!! NVidia cards were so simple and so easy compared to Radeon this is driving me literally up the wall.
My profile is correct about my gear, I have been doing this actually ever since Apple first announced in 2005 then released the first Intel Mac in 2006 then the first boot loader was created. I do NOT miss those days.
This Sapphire Pulse RX 570 card has these ports: 2 DP, 2 HDMI and 1 DVI.
I have tried using both HDMIs and the 1 DVI port. I ordered both a DP to HDMI adapter and a DP to DVI cable just in case. I wanted to make sure. My monitor doesn't have a HDMI but only a DVI port and the old VGA port. I use a 24" LCD so I don't see a need to upgrade my monitor. I do have a HDMI to DVI cable that helps.
Here is what I have tried so far:
I installed Catalina using my Intel 4600 onboard graphics. This is what I was using for about a month now before I decided to purchase the RX 560. I did get the hardware acceleration going on the 4600 by adding the correct ig-platform-id or the one to be found most useful for the 4600. Works great except whenever I am exporting videos, just takes way too long. Works great in Photoshop so no issues there.
Lilu and Whatevergreen was already installed in /Other directory on my EFI partition. I also updated them earlier today from their github creators.
1. Made a back up of my EFI folder to another hdd directory where I save my stuff to.
2. I opened my config.plist and unchecked whatever I was using for the 4600 in >Graphics:
a. Load VBios
b. Inject Intel
c. made sure nothing was in the ig-platform-id box. Only thing that shows 0x but not in dark colors.
3. Looked in >System Parameters to make sure NvidiaWeb was unchecked.
4. Looked in >Devices to make sure the Fake ID all read 0X0
5. Saved config.plist and rebooted.
6. Went into Bios, changed IGRX to PCIe1 to make sure it boots from the RX 570 card first. Then I completely disabled the onboard Intel HD4600 graphics a few choices down.
7. Saved and restarted. Switched Cable to HDMI.
8. Video showed up and whenever I got to Clover everything was perfect so far. I decided to look around in options to make sure I did not miss anything and under Graphics Inject ATI was not check nor the RadeonInit (different name though can't recall but its the same thing). Both were unchecked.
9. Booted and it only boots to black screen.
10. I wanted to test to see if it was actually booting to desktop so I pressed on my spacebar to see if would make a sound. Yep I heard the "Funk" sound every time I pressed the space bar just like it would make if I were normally on the Desktop.
11. So, I rebooted, Clover >option> checked both InjectATI and RadeonInit. Still the same thing.
12. Then I wanted to see if I could actually install OS X Catalina using Tonymacx86 unibeast thumb drive setup as it creates a vanilla EFI on the thumb drive. I knew if I could do that then there is something wrong with my EFI. But, nope, it did the exact same thing!!!
13. I then read to disable CSM in the bios. This is a way, way no go. I tried it and if I disable CSM my PC only reboots whenever OSX begins to load. From my understanding "Other" is suppose to be chosen under OS Type but the only way to disable CSM is to change this to Windows 8 or Windows 8 WHQL then below that you can disable CSM but it disables EVERYTHING, ALL the UEFI OPROM, everything. So how did others get it to work is beyond me!!!
So, I am NOW lost at this point and have no clue what to do until I wait until my DP to HDMI adapter and/or DP to DVI cable gets hear to the house.
If anybody has a solution please let me know....
Attach is my config.plist and a screenshot of the contents of whats in my /Other directory.
I am a simple person. I use this machine for 3 things, my Pro Tools Subscription, my Creative Cloud subscription and Microsoft Word. I don't play video games and I do use it to browse the internet whenever I am not using my iPad Pro 12.9".
I would appreciate any and all help. I normally would just read through all the topics but this one I cannot find an answer. I am stumped!!!
Thank you in advance to the great people here.
