It’s super easy now to get AMD graphic cards working on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and later only requiring a few baby steps. This guide should work for most if not all. Right now I’m running an in Sierra 10.12.6.

Sleep and wake work reliably with this card with no weird restarts yet. Also I don’t have to use a helper iGPU/secondary GPU to get it working. This is because of the support brought for Radeon Pro cards beginning with Sierra 10.12.6 as part of the new mac releases. A problem before the Sierra 10.12.6 update was the number of steps one had to go through to get AMD card’s working with the right framebuffers, which could be quite confusing for a beginner, while also being restricted to what cards and manfucaturer you could use. In addition, you had to use a second graphics card for hardware acceleration, but that is no more.
Nvidia It’s amazing that support is now available for AMD graphic cards for hackintosher’s as we now we won’t have to rely on Nvidia for their web drivers with native mac support for AMD hardware. Some people have problems with Nvidia cards working in applications like the Adobe suite where the program would just crash on them. I’ve also found the sleep/wake is perfectly reliable with AMD cards while Nvidia can be spotty when paired with certain motherboards. This shouldn’t be an issue with the natively supported AMD cards which will arguably run better and more reliably as their Nvidia counterparts because macOS favors AMD hardware.

Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products. A new quiet and efficient cooling system is also available. We put the 800 MHz 7750 to the test against the 850 MHz 5770 Mac to find out which you should buy, the older AMD or the ATi.
You can expect applications like Final Cut Pro X to render faster for an equally performing/priced Nvidia Card if you make the switch over to AMD. I’ll teach you how to do it with a couple easy steps. How to do it: In order to get AMD GPU support on a PC you of course first need to install macOS or update an existing hack to /.
If you need a guide to fresh install macOS check out If you rather stick with Sierra over the newer High Sierra then Sierra 10.12.6 is a requirement for its Radeon Pro support. AMD Hackintosh Steps: Once done updating to macOS 10.12.6 or later you can follow the steps below. Note: If you are using anything higher than a 1080p display you will to use Display Port for your output to display at 60hz. If you’re display doesn’t have a Display Port input you can use an adapter: Step 1. Mount EFI Partition.
Download. Open Clover Configurator. Select Mount EFI under TOOLS.

Click Mount Partition for Install macOS. Click Open Partition (This is your EFI Folder) Step 2. Verify EmuVariableUefi-64.efi Some motherboards such as those by Gigabyte and ASROCK will require EmuVariableUefi-64.efi for NVRAM detection, without it you wont get hardware acceleration on your AMD card. Verify file EmuVariableUefi-64.efi exits in location /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI of your mounted partition. If it’s not there add EmuVariableUefi-64.efi:. Open Clover Configurator.

You get right around 30 frames per second at p resolution in modern games, with the detail settings cranked up high.
Mount your EFI Partition. Open config.plist using Clover Configurator. Click Install Drivers on left column of Clover Configurator. Click EmuVariableUefi in bottom left box.
Verify EmuVariableUefi-64.efi exists in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/Drivers64UEFI/ Step 3. Enabling AMD Cards. Download latest release version of. Download latest release version of.
Unzip both RELEASE.zip downloads. Copy Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext from their respective RELEASE folders. Place them in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other of your mounted EFI partition Step 4.
BIOS Settings. Restart your computer. Enter BIOS.
Verify that integrated graphics is disabled (if you can disable it). Verify that GPU is set to PEG/PCIe priority (This is super important as leaving it on Auto will cause performance issues). Save & Exit. Boot your hackintosh I noticed that booting and sleeping the AMD card is a little slower than my GTX card, becoming much more noticable in High Sierra but to me it’s worth it as AMD is what’s optimized to run on macOS and weird issues with Nvidia Web Drivers are nonexistent running with Radeon. (Optional) Compatibility with Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake If you have a Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake Processor and use graphic intensive programs like FCPX or play games on macOS the ig-platform-id should be set to prevent crashing and optomize performance when using a dedicated graphics card. Open config.plist in. Click Graphics on the left-side Column.
Type 0x59120003 in the ig-platform-id box. Save config.plist Step 7. (Optional) Freeze Prevention If you own an RX 560 like me running High Sierra without this fix may cause your hackintosh to have slow screen waking times and your mouse to freeze at random times while using it.
To make this fix work you have to be using Here’s how to make that go away:. Verify is the latest release in your kext folder /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.
Open config.plist in. Click Boot on the left-side Column. Locate the Custom Flags textbox under Arguments. Add the boot flag -rad4200 in the Custom Flags textbox. Save Config.plist Make sure to restart your Hackintosh to apply these settings. (Optional) HVEC Support If you plan on using video editing software like Final Cut Pro you will need HVEC support. To get HVEC support you need a CPU that supports it i.e.
Haswell/Sky Lake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake. You will also need to follow this additional guide as some of the settings you set here need to be changed to enable the iGPU alongside the AMD graphics card as well as more settings. Good Morning I’m in Brazil and I apologize for the English. I have been working with video editing for many years and I use FCPX as my main program on a Hackintosh (H97M-D3H, 32gb, i7 4790 3.6ghz, SSD 500, GTX 1060 6gb) Recently I replaced my GTX 970 g1 gamming 4gb with a GTX1060 6gb. My goal is to get more speed in the render, because I work with 4K, but I did not notice much difference with the 1060, even knowing that FCPX does not have CUDA and yes OpenCL.
Do you think that if I change the GTX 1060 for an RX 480 8gb, will I gain more speed in rendering when compared to 1060? Success using your guide & iGPU: i7-7700k; Gigabyte z270x-ud5; Gigabyte RX 580 Everything works with IGPU “BUT” having issues with Gigabyte RX 580! After disabling iGPU in bios I’m only able to boot in safe mode with RX 580 installed or with by spoof id 0x12345678 which is limited to 5mb vram. If I don’t use those settings then boot to black screen after half-way of loading on apple logo. (also tried inserting lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext files in both 10.12 and Others folders) Need to get this working or sell the RX 580 for another card that will work.
What do you think? Can you share exact bios settings and config.plist file? Or possible conflict? I7 4790 3.6ghz; Gigabyte H97m-ds3p; RX 580; Sierra 10.12.6 It works with a board on board the H97m (HD 4600) and placing the IGFX as the primary. But there are some problems: I have to start with the hdmi cable connected on the board aboard the H97m and then start the Sierra, I have to change the HDMI cable to RX 580. Just so, I have 580’s acceleration running.
If I start straight with an RX 580, it is not the apple logo, just for login. But in this way, I run out of board acceleration and Final Cut X closes and email. I already installed as kexts (lilu and green) in the other folder.
Is there a way to start Sierra 10.12.6 with a RX 580 through the normal loading process, an Apple logo, and login? Without having to change the HDMI cable to board on board (HD 4600)? After seeing this post, I traded my GTX 1060 on a RX 580 two days ago, because of Final Cut X, as I know how AMD boards are faster on FCPX. For what I understand, I need to put in the list of kexts (lilu and green) in the folder, and would not have to activate iGPU or IGFX. But anyway, thank the help and keep looking to solve this problem.
Sorry English, I’m in Brazil. I was able to enable an RX 580 with Sierra 10.12.6 My card is a Gigabyte H97M-DS3P. To work, you place kexts “Lilu and Green” inside the System / Library / Extensions.
It did not work when I put it in the Others folder. Disable on Bios the option integrated graphics and change IGFX to PCIe. The only problem is in time to recognize the HDMI of the TV. I edit with a Philips 43 TV.
1) If I restart the Hack, I can see the mace and load normally. 2) If the Hack is off. After calling, I can only see from the login screen.
To solve this problem, I have to turn on the Hack, and quickly disconnect the HDMI cable from the RX 580 and connect again. This way I can see an apple logo and the loading bar. I’m really stuck I managed to login after a successful boot. (Clover, graphics is set to: Inject ATI + ig-platform-id: 0x59120000) but the screen is glitchy AF! Do i need to change the ig-platform-id? Or maybe my BIOS settings is not right? Can someone plz confirm that at they got it to work with the RX 550 What should the exact BIOS settings be with ASrock Z270 ITX.
I can’t find how to disable Intel graphics in BIOS. (If it has that function) I’m runnin’: Sierra 10.12.6 ASrock Z270 fatal1ty itx AMD Radeon RX 550 Kaby Lake i7 – 7700K. Update: Looks like.

I used your GA-Z270MX-Gaming 5 settings.except. I updated for 10.12.6.before. I installed. Got it up and running with IGPU first.
Then I just editing any IPU references out of config, and threw in latest copies of Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC. Turned off IGPU in the bios and pointed to PCIe1.
GPU reads as “Radeon Pro 580” in About. Audio works when pointed to “Internal Speakers” (kind of annoying). There are two Line Out” and neither worked for that mini RCA line out.
I’ll have to test sleep. I suspect it will be similar to what others have experienced. I waffled between the RX 580 and the GTX 1060. Still not sure I made the right choice. But I’m a fan of driver simplicity and I don’t dig the proprietary CUDA platform.

Thanks in advance. Hi All excuse me but where do you put the WhateverGreen.kext & Lilu.kext? I read EFI folder but in the flash drive for installing Macos or in an EFI folder related to the “already” installed OS sierra? I Already installed MacOs Sierra 10.12.6 on my Gigabyte Z270-HD3P. I don’t have my Sapphyre RX550 4Gb working.
So i tried to put the kext files in the EFI folder of my 8Gb USB2.0 flash drive. But don’t really understand why for?
Then i tried to put those kext files in the EFI folder of my MACos SIERRA 240GB SSD Drive but there are no EFI folder It’s seems so simple to all of you but where do i put those kext files, in order to get my mac boot on in Thanks so much. Yeah I found it. Actually, as there was a folder called Apple in the EFI partition of my SSD, I didn’t know if I could let it, or delete it In an other guide you wrote we can delete it and replace it by the EFI/Clover etc. Thanks a lot I didn’t work out so I replace my RX550 4GB by a GTX1050ti Gb Trying right now to make it work, following your guide about Nvidia Moment of truth I have to restart my computer to see if Its working or not see you really soon. Thanks for your work HACKINTOSHER. My name is Davide and I’m new to this blog.
I would like to install MacOs Sierra 10.12.6 on my pc tower. The main hardware as follow: motherboard Asus P5G41T-M LX graphic card XFX R7950 Ghost (R9 280 chipset) Hard drive SSD Crucial MX300 / 275GB I’ve already tried differnt solutions but the issue stands on the graphic card; reading the blog, I learned that it needs two kext to make the HD7950 work. In short, the Os boots up but slowly and ends with a black screen. I would be grateful if someone give me some hints to successfully install MacOs P.s.: I noticed that to decompress the WhateverGreen.kext a password is requiredwhich one?
Has anyone here ever been able to get an R9 390X 8GB working on their Hackintosh with 10.12.6 Sierra? I have been trying to get mine to work for a few months now, reading every forum known to man and trying everything.with no luck. I have tried the newest Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts tooits crazy because I know the card can work because some have made it do so I am running i7 4790 cpu Asus A97-A motherboard 32 gb RAM (I do a ton of video editing) MSi R9 390X 8gb card (well, right now I have my stupid 2gb Nvidia card in the system) Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciate! Or if anyone even can point me to a guide they know of? Thanks in advance!
It has been a real pain in my arse! Hello, thanks for the resources.
I have a HP Elitebook 8560p with a Radeon HD 6000 M series video card. How does Sierra know to load these kexts from Clover as the video card kexts as well? Are these kexts patches for the AMD controller kext?
Can you clarify on steps? 1) In Sierra do I need to remove the AMD kexts in S/L/E? Or leave them alone? 2) I extracted them to EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other 3) In the Clover boot menu, what do I need in the graphics Menu?
Or any other menu. Clover Graphics: EDID – yes or no Device ID?
OSX says 6760 so 0x67601002 or a fake id? Inject ATI – yes or no Connectors? Frame Buffer? Am I doing things correctly? Thanks and please help. Hi, This is great information and I have AMD 580 8GB running on 10.12.6 Now I want to add a second AMD 580 8GB but then after BIOS, Clover and loading OSX it stops outputting when video and it looks likes OSX is completely booted up.
I have screensharing on so I would be able to connect to it by another machine. However it shows up in the shared section but unable to connect. What could it be that two of the same cards won’t run? I’m running on a Gigabyte Z270X-Gaming 5 board. Any hints would be nice.
I did try 14,2, but as I am on Pascal architecture, any sort of video decode/encode is missing from HW acceleration, my system falls to CPU SW accel. Which is really pathetic, like Quicktime screen recording uses my CPU upto 250%, decent high quality videos are within 150%. Youtube itself takes about 45% for 1440p video. When I tested such videos over Intel HD graphics which has native support, the usage is hardly 10%. Youtube just sips at 6-7%.
I’ll look further into the dual setup. I think that is a better approach, since AMD will be better optimized for my work flow too. Do you still have an AMD GPU in any system? If so can you confirm doing some tests like random Youtube 1440p video and a Quicktime desktop recording and see what kind of usage you get in Activity Monitor? It’ll be of great help to know if that even works with AMD GPU before buying. That is more what I expected to see.
I am running on 10.13 right now I did not try in 10.12.6 Everything is working like sleep and the boot is super fast with no glitches but I really expected the performance to be much better in FCPX. I also have issues with the rendered file. The Bruce Benchmark file looks great but when I edited some footage from my drone cam in 4k the footage looks normal in FCP but the rendered file is very pixilated and lots of artifact.
I am not sure what to look for. My model Identifier is 18,3. I want to first say “thank you!” for a great set of guides. I was able to wipe my El Capitan build that was buggy as Hell and start over with High Sierra. Sound works, network works, etc. And I just bought a Sapphire Nitro 8gb RX580 and it too is working well. BUT, I’m getting a slow BruceX score of 41 seconds.
My build is a Z170X Gaming 7 MB by Gigabyte, Intel 6700K, EVGA 650 PS, Corsair 16gb Ram (8gb x 2) Samsung EVO 500 SSD and the aforementioned video card. What should I be looking at to get a more respectable render time? Hi, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve been following tonymacx for a long time and always had GeForces I just tried a RX560 and WOW!!!
Adobe softwares are 3 times faster!!! Can’t believe it! And I’m working on a 4K display! Would I notice even more difference going up to the 580?
I didn’t think the graphic card was so important even for photo editingi thought it was just about 3D! Only thing I’m missing is GPU temperature and fan readings I have the latest Lili, Whathevergreen, FakeSMC and pluginsbut I don’t have any readings from the card! With Nvidia I had all the readings. I recently found it and finally did replace my Nvidia GTX for a Sapphire RX 560 4GB. Whatevergreen etc.
Prepared and it works instantly. Only little problems were like you mentioned longer boot/wake cycles and that fan noise after wake. But Whatevergreen.kext version 1.1.3 offers a new boot option for RX560 cards: “-rad4200”.
It maybe helps 570 or 580 too if they do similar behavior. I don’t know I can very recommend to add this boot flag, because it removes that extra time on bootup and wake and fan doesn’t spin up to full speed after wake anymore. That’s really great!! RX 560 works perfect now! I was able to reduce my BruceX score from 41 seconds down to 15.28 (3x average).
I did this by double checking the post install (fresh install high sierra guide) instructions for fine tuning AMD cards and I didn’t have the emuvariable driver installed. This changed everything and I notice my Clover boot screen is cleaned up too with better resolution. While “About this Mac” showed my card as a Radeon Pro 580 8Gb I don’t think it was accelerating properly. In fact, I did a Final Cut edit using some MotionVFX templates and I was getting multiple lockups and it took far too long to complete the edit because I had to reboot about fifteen times to finish.
I’ve got another edit to do so hopefully it is going to go much smoother this time. Thanks again for your guides. This is my favorite Hackintosh site! I did exactly as I stated. I installed the emuvariable driver per the instructions higher up on this page in step 2.
I didn’t need to install lilu or whatevergreen kexts because they were included in the setup I downloaded for the clean High Sierra install also found on this site. My original install was with the integrated Intel video but I got brave, went and bought the 580X, and installed it with zero hiccups until the FCPX issue I mentioned. I reread the details, did I said above, and now it is fully accelerated. Do you have the right kexts installed? Being an older setup, maybe 27 seconds is nearing the limits of what you can expect? 27 seconds is still respectable but I get the need for speed.
Anyone using dual monitors with a Radeon RX 560 under MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2? I used the instructions above to get my Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 Gaming OC 4G Rev. 1.0 working under MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and was able to plug in one monitor via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI and they both worked. I did a fresh install of MacOS 10.13.2 on my Aorus (Gigabyte) GA-Z270X-Gaming K5 motherboard using the Gigabyte RX 560 graphics card and got everything working like under 10.12.6 until I tried plugging in my second monitor. When I plugged in the second monitor it doesn’t get a signal and goes to sleep.
I have tried using one display via HDMI by itself and it works fine. I have also tried using one DisplayPort display by itself and it also works, but if I try them together one of them always goes to sleep and doesn’t get a signal. I am using the latest version of Lilu (v1.2.1) and WhateverGreen (v1.1.4) to get the Radeon RX 560 working and I have tried a bunch of different things to try to get both monitors working again like under 10.12.6, but cannot seem to make them work. Under 10.12.6 they just worked after I got the graphics card to work using the instructions above, but something must be different in 10.13.2 that doesn’t allow dual monitors to work for me. If anyone has any ideas I am open to suggestions. Similar to cnc137. Motherboard=Gigabyte GA-Z270-D3.

Amd Radeon Hd 5770 Drivers
AMD Radeon HD 6450 (output VGA, DVI, HDMI) I cannot get dual monitors working. Monitor 1 is connected via VGA DBus res. About 1600x-, monitor 2 won’t display. At one time I had both monitors display mirrored, but res was 1280x-, when I used that adjustment by R.
Alpha (as above). I couldn’t stand it. Both Lilu and Whatevengreen kexts are loaded. Also I have that EMU driver. How I get both monitors to work like in my Linux OS at about 1900x- res? PS Your audio guide was fantastic!
I got the Gigabyte Rx 560 4GB since others reported success with it. It works fine for 2 monitors, but not 3.
Any combination of 2 ports out of the 3 will work, and all 3 work if I boot into Windows. Any suggestions?
I’m using the WhateverGreen and Lilu kexts as well as setting RadeonDeinit. One of them is a 4k display at 60hz using an active DP adapter to convert to the TV’s HDMI 2.0 connector, but I don’t think that’d make any difference (and I don’t have any monitors with a native display port connector to test). This is on a new i7-8700 system where I’d be fine with using the HD630 intel graphics for the 3rd monitor, except unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work (following the instructions I’d seen on this site), the screen just stays black. If I set ig-platform-id to 0x59120000 rather than 0x59120003 it’ll display a striped gray pattern at least on that screen and hang. Its a pre-built Dell XPS 8930 and its bios doesn’t let me make any graphics card related changes.
I’d seen a post elsewhere by someone with the same model Dell who hasn’t gotten the internal graphics to work who seems fairly experienced with hackintoshes (this is my first. I’m a software developer used to the debugging process in general, but I’m a newbie to dealing with device drivers or kernels, hardware level stuff isn’t my thing). I just upgraded from an Nvidia GT710 (which worked fine) to a Radeon RX560 running High Sierra on a Dell Optiplex 990 Mini Tower. The card is recognized correctly by Mac OS, but the entire system runs very slow now (even just typing!) and the DVI output seems to be sending a black screen (the monitor detects a signal but the screen is black.) I followed this guide (added the 2 kexts) and also removed the NVidia drivers, but it’s still pretty unusable. Could the problem be because of PEG/PCIe priority?
Unfortunately, the Dell BIOS has no setting for that. Am I just hosed? Any insight is much appreciated!
