macOS Sierra PB: Need testers for new AMD Radeon drivers!

Status
Not open for further replies.
With my RX 480 it has somewhat improved in the last two betas, now it gets me until de cannon in Heaven (always crashes in the same place, before it would be on heaven just for two seconds, but the OS is stable and can work even after Heaven crashing, initially it forced an OS restart). The acceleration works really good for basic needs, video playback 1080 on QuickTime and chrome/YouTube are working without problem.

Edited because mobile sucks.

Hi, how did you get acceleration ? With my rx 480, I can't read video. Did you use FakeID ?
 
Here are the results of my new SAPPHIRE RX460 NITRO:

Results: plugged into PCI slot#1, configured CLOVER config.plist like this in the desired sections and placed VBIOS file into ROM folder of EFI-Partition:

<key>Graphics</key>

</dict>

Tried to give it a go... but... NOTHING! Doesn't work out-of-the-box! ;-(
I could only make it run and display a picture with the following entry in CLOVER config.plist:
<key>FakeID</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<string>0x67DF1002</string>
</dict>

If i try to choose INJECT ATI = FALSE, it would show the same effect like with Radeon R9 380x: black screen after verbose boot and not possible to connect to it via ARD from my MacBook (ARD says, there is no ARD active on the remote SIERRA machine).
Oh... and of cause: NO accelleration with Fake-ID 67DF

I'll keep on trying to make it work with framebuffer patch. Using the above Framebuffer-patch (Acre) with fake ID 67DF, it will give me full access to DP- and HDMI-connected Monitor - but w/o Accelleration.

Maybe all this is just because it is NOT an AMD RX460 reference card - as mentioned before it is Sapphire RX460 Nitro 4BG.
 
Many thanks for your detailed report!

Did you try booting with iGPU = Primary, just like with Tonga GPUs?
It sounds quite strange to me that the "Baffin" section of X4000 (sort of) works for Polaris 10 (-> doesn't boot to black screen) but doesn't work like that for Polaris 11.

Can you verify if there's any "suspicious" power management stuff in the "Baffin" section of X4000, just like with Cape Verde? I'm currently away from my Mac, so I can't check myself.

Yes, there is and it looks like this:

<dict>
<key>CAIL_DisableQuickGfxMGPowerGating</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>CAIL_DisableStaticGfxMGPowerGating</key>

<key>CAIL_EnableLBPWSupport</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>

Not completely true: ELLESMERE only missing in info.plist but contained in parts within the binary, but, as far as i can read it, still no initialization routine. But maybe someone with real coding skills could take a look at it:

What application is this that you use?? i've been looking around and can't seem figure out which one is it.. many people using it

The application is called "Hoppa Dissasembler" - you can try it for free, but for fully functioning you have to buy a license.
 
Tried the whole to day to find a way to make RX460 fully work - but still no success. Always have to use Fake-ID 67DF1002 to make it boot to the desktop. Framebuffer "Acre" will match nearly perfect (just have to change sense-id and hot-plug-id) - but it still won't work with original device-id 67EF1002.

When not using a Fake-ID and booting in safemode, i could see, that RadeonFrameBuffer will get used. So i think, i will stay with my Sapphire RX480 Nitro. Maybe more luck with the next beta - hope dies last.
