I'll spread the word on tonymacx86 as soon as the NDA on Sierra is down, there are a few guys with Hack + Fury, eagerly waiting for Fiji drivers.



Would be interesting to see what happens when you try to init the GPU the other way around: Spoof the device ID to match one of the fully supported Polaris IDs. Should be possible to do this on a cMP with basic Clover installation (e.g. from flash drive).

Clover would also allow for playing with different SMBIOS settings, e.g. MP6,1 or iMac17,1.



Btw, "was no good" -> booted to black screen? Or booted without acceleration? Logged

In baffin personality there is no strict check inside for device-id.



Probably we could have achieved similar in the past with tonga accelerator and some binary patch.



Apple will add these missing dev-id check but we now know what to look for. Logged

I had noticed before that I could get unaccelerated 2D from Fiji on eGPU but not on cMP.



Finding how it is "locked" could quickly lead to Fiji running on cMP, possibly even in El Cap.



I have class today so won't be fiddling with this again until tonight.



Maybe someone at Insanely can try? Logged Before asking a question, check your "Personal Settings" and be sure that you have "Brain Services" set to "On".

There is some other check in drivers that doesn't exist for other cards.



I just tried adding the 7300 to each and every other personality (one at a time), no go on cMP.



So we need to find where this other check is.



I even renamed the Baffin one as Tahiti and renamed Tahiti as Tahit and still no go Logged Before asking a question, check your "Personal Settings" and be sure that you have "Brain Services" set to "On".

Couple years back finding latest (released) ATI cards working in OSX would have been big news.



Guess I forgot to mention the new Ruby emojis and watch bands.

480X should be a great option for cMP owners. Especially finally a viable dual gpu option. This is great news. Thanks for all your efforts, again!480X should be a great option for cMP owners. Especially finally a viable dual gpu option. Logged

I know for a fact that nMP 6,1 WORKS, but Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 (flashed) does NOT work.



Odd thing is a R9 380 works in cMP, nothing locking it out, but Fury (Fiji) is LOCKED OUT of cMP.



I would guess to avoid more embarrassment about weak kneed nMP and it's watered down 7970s.



So, if you have friends at Insanely or TonyMuck, ask them to start experimenting.



Or maybe Pike would care to have a look?



BTW, I also tried removing 4,1/5,1 from AGDC to see if it was the lock, still no go.

If you have an iMac with a TB2 port handy, you might try on that one as well. I suspect it's being locked out by a check that looks for the device being a subsidiary of the PCIe bus, but passes the check when it's a subsidiary of the TB controller (even though TB is on the PCIe bus obviously). I'm hoping I'm wrong, but if I'm right, the only Hackies this will work with are the ones with TB2 ports with an eGPU case on those TB ports - a Fury Nano on the PCIe bus would likely be blocked there too in such a scenario. « Last Edit: June 22, 2016, 11:38:49 AM by Squishy Tia » Logged
