X299 build with i9-7900X, GA Gaming 7 Pro and Vega 64 – extremely laggy UI/low FPS

[reitermarkus]

Hi all, new hackintosher here!

I have the following setup for my first build:

Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 Pro
i9-7900X
Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 64

I followed @kgp's guide here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ac-pro-successful-build-extended-guide.229353, and I can boot from the installer.

I also managed to get through the installation after some time, despite massive UI lag. Once installed, i ran the Cinebench GPU benchmark, which gave me 0.97 FPS. Feels like I missed something obvious here, any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Thanks,
Markus

Thanks, I will try with your EFI folder.

I'm using 10.13.3. I haven't used any BIOS patch, but I have updated it to the latest version (F3c).

 

[reitermarkus]

Thanks, the UI lag is gone now, but there is another issue.

CSM support has to be disabled, right? But if I do so, DisplayPort does not work, only HDMI does.

 

[reitermarkus]

The thing is, once macOS is booted using HDMI, I can switch to DisplayPort, but neither the BIOS nor Clover work over DisplayPort. That is if CSM is disabled.

 

[reitermarkus]

Ok, with CSM enabled, at least one of the DP ports works, when using the other two, it boots to a black screen with a cursor.

 

[reitermarkus]

Are you still using your USB clover to boot?

No, I am already booting from the SSD, so recognizing the USB drive doesn't seem to be related to this.

Ok. 10.13.4 beta 4 fixes that.

Great, I only use one Display anyways, so I can definitely live with one DP for now.
