Time to switch Nvidia to AMD

[utomjording]

Hello!

So I'm finally giving up on Nvidia and have bought myself an RX 580 with 8GB of Ram. Later on this week I'll switch the graphics cards. Is there any chance that my Hackintosh will boot up straight away? Or am I better of doing a clean install and then recover everything with Time Machine? Any ideas or thoughts are very much welcome!

Cheers!

No need for a clean install. Even if you forget to uninstall the nvidia web driver it won't cause issues. All I did when I switched was make sure readeondeinit was set in clover and had whatevergreen and lilu in kexts/other.

radeondeinit is for older radeon video cards. It doesn't apply to RX series or newer.

Oh that's good to know. Guess I'll be removing that. Thanks.

Super, thank you! I've got everything backed up and ready so then I'll give it a go!

I'm thinking about purchasing an AMD RX Series card for my HackPro 5,1. I have two displays with DVI inputs currently connected to my NVidia 9800GT. Will the RX card be able to drive dual-DVI displays and if so, what RX output ports / adapters should I use? Thank you.

I just used DosDude's Mojave patcher to apply a legacy graphics patch to Mojave on my HackPro 5,1 with NVidia GeForce 9800GT. Now, NVidia legacy dual-DVI and graphics acceleration work perfectly under Mojave 10.14.4.
