Unfortunately, the card is not plug and play for now: the boot sequence fails at one point.
I’ve read somewhere that the Radeon 68xx drivers are in the 11.1 beta, there‘s a workaround somewhere, for sure!

I followed every single step of Dortania Guide , and repeated this several times ... however no luck. Still the installer shows progress of 15min and stuck on this for hours.
Any help would be much appreciated, please.

Try SetupVirtualMap = false

Can you post your full EFI folder.
BIOS version? Settings? Full Specs?

Several users have reported that the card is working with Big Sur 11.1 Beta but without hardware acceleration.

Navi 20 PCI IDs added in Big Sur 11.1 beta!

With todays new 11.1 beta, it seems Apple has dropped us a pleasant little surprise. Checking the X6000 framebuffer, we see plenty of new PCI IDs listed:

Nice powerful build : :thumbup:

I'm actually thinking of a new X299 motherboard: the ASUS Rampage VI Extreme Encore is the one I consider for my choices; But I still hesitate with another...

I think you have to wait until full support is added :

We find the different Navi device ids :

So for the Navi 21 we have :

Screenshot 2020-11-20 at 20.19.36.png

On the latest macOS Big Sur release :

On the AMDRadeonX6000.kext we have :

AMDRadeonX6000_AMDNavi10GraphicsAccelerator :

—> OPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x73101002 0x73121002 0x73181002 0x73191002 0x731A1002 0x731B1002 0x731F1002

AMDRadeonX6000_AMDNavi12GraphicsAccelerator :

—> <key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x73601002</string>

AMDRadeonX6000_AMDNavi14GraphicsAccelerator :

—> IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x73401002 0x73411002 0x73431002 0x73471002 0x734F1002

But we don’t have for now AMDNav21GraphicsAccelerator.

This should explain what @Ellybz reported on the post above

Great, basically all RDNA1 RX cards are fully compatible with macOS? Do they still need WEG + agdpmod=pikera even on MacPro7,1 according to your knowledge/experience?

@djlild7hina many thanks I tried SetupVirtualMap=false , and it still stuck at 14 min for hours
Please see attached EFI and log text
I have update BIOS but then I have to to revert back to 802 as I couldn't boot from USB.

Many thanks for your kind efforts

Yes but here are the RDNA 2 : so for full acceleration the AMDRadeonX6000.kext must be updated as you can see for Navi10 for example :

Understood, basically we have to wait for the driver to be updated (and for the cards themselves since they're pretty much a paper launch for now). What about WEG + agdpmod=pikera? Still needed with MacPro7,1 and RDNA1?
