290 needs a device ID injection AFAIK. It's not an XFX brand card, right? Insanely Mac should have the ID.

I'm on vacation or I'd help further.

I'm having similar problems with my Gigabyte 390X. Tried injection, tried dumping the BIOS to get the connector patches & patching all the config.plists to have a 390x compatible Baladi, just can't get QE/CI or the drat card recognized as anything other than a generic display or 290 with 7MB. I'd take just about any ideas to get the thing working & really don't want to have to do something like downgrading to a lovely/expensive nVidia GPU.

AMD GPUs are complicated. I'll talk to a guy who know a lot about AMD and get back to you.

Thank you.

No good on the 390x? I'm starting to think I'm going to need to spend more on a less capable nVidiot card :/

Support for the 390x is super preliminary. You can't really use it under OS X.

gently caress. I was hoping that Macbook they're selling with a M390X might have led to something I could adapt to get the thing working. Maybe I just trade my gf the really nice card & get my 280 back....

There's now been ATI bitching and NVidia bitching on just this page of the thread.

If I'm buying a new mid-range card to replace my mid-range card of three years ago, which works best? I used to buy NVidia because of Linux, but OSX86 is my new Linux.

ATI isn't the problem, bleeding edge ATI cards like 390x and R9 Fury are. Midrange and older cards are mostly fine, I have an R9 280 that worked perfectly with dual monitors on Yosemite. I'm just loving around with this 390x because my gf needed the 280 to replace a warrantable (but not returned for gently caress knows why) 270x.

I might be completely loving crazy with this, but I've got an opportunity to test a way around this problem.

Are there any negative consequences to having the 390X in the system if OS X isn't actually using it? I'm thinking of installing a second, more Hackintosh-friendly card (about to get my 280 back from my girlfriend), double-plugging the monitors (each monitor plugged into an input on each card) & using the 280 inputs in OS X with nothing injected for the 390X (hoping this disables it as effectively as the 280'll be disabled in Windows.)

Is this plan batshit insane? or does it have a chance of giving me a viable dual-boot setup without having to give up the 390X?

Can I get recommendations for an inexpensive and completely compatible LGA 2011 mobo? I'm looking to make my next build an i7-3960X-based one & have a line on a fairly cheap chip for it. Wifi isn't necessary.

How are AMD CPUs working these days?

I've just been forced to replace my i7-5820k gaming monster with a Ryzen 5 3600X-based midrange gaming rig. Mobo is Gigabyte, GPU's a RX 580. How hosed would I be if I decided I wanted to dual-boot 10 and whatever the current MacOS build is on this hardware?
