Cyberdevs Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 That's why I use an old GTX 650 at home. No EmuVariableUEFI needed, no Nvidia driver needed. With every day I'm more and more concerned about the next video card I'll have to buy when this one won't be supported anymore. I'm not a gamer, so I don't care about them teraflops. But I do care about being able to use that computer with minimum effort. ) And for that, as we all know, you need supported hardware (or at least as close as you can get to that). Today I learned something new. Thank you. You're welcome I'm glad that I had a role in solving your problem. The easiest GPUs are AMD R9 270X and R9 280X which have full support without any extra efforts (On a single display setup) and no boot to black screen issue so far not even in macOS High Sierra, they work OOB and you can even run games on them if you one day feel like to (these GPUs are old of course) and with the new development of Lilu 1.1.6 and WhateverGreen.kext we have a great chance of using many AMD GPUs without working about the sleep/wake or black screen issue anymore so your options are quite a lot And last but not least AMD Vega has some promising future in Macs and Hacks.

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I was actually considering an RX 480 or 580 but...when I saw that you need a "helper card" to boot into the OS...I just gave up on the idea. I know about WhateverGreen (funny name, by the way, but one hell of a kext). So it might not be out of the question for me to try an AMD card in the future, especially since Apple doesn't seem too keen to go back to Nvidia anytime soon. About Vega...I'm just gonna say this: $1000 where I live. So, as promising as it might be, I'll wait for the prices to go down...a lot. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymack Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I successfully updated to DP7 now that I have resolved the problem with video not loading. However, I cannot update from the App Store. When my laptop restarts, it does not go into installation mode. Rather, it simply reboots and never installs. I am only able to update using the recovery partition and selecting install a new copy of OS. The one downside to this is that it requires me to download the full 5 GB installer rather than just the update. Still, it installs easily now. One thing I noticed (of a very minor nature) is that it does not appear that the cosmetic fix for AirPort Extreme works any longer. My system information reports that I have a third-party wireless card. Anyone else experience that? I followed your method, and it has worked for me too. I had tried every which way to install DP 7 and all of them failed. I had been successful in the past with them but not with DP 7. I checked, and mine is reporting Airport Extreme. Did you have to install an older version of IO80211Family.kext? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to find out the FF & FFM from the previous build, firmware has this patterns, but with zeroes. Maybe you can find out.

If have FF FFM PF in config, remove them.Put biosverson that you got from macpro51 firmware in Biosversion part in config. Then try with clover r4179 or newer if you can test or have a time.

brumas Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I patched your DSDT to remove your discreet GPU (only Intel HD GPU will appear in System Info now). This and the other things I suggested here #2983 that I added to your config.plist should get your video to load. That is your only problem that I can see at this point. thank you for your willingness to help . but error is not gone. installation unable to continue.

mnfesq Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 thank you for your willingness to help . but error is not gone. installation unable to continue. Can you post your Clover boot.log so I can see if you implemented the changes correctly? Also, you have several Clover DSDT patches even though you use a custom DSDT. I didn't know why you used them so I didn't try to change them. You might try to remove as much from your config.plist as possible and see if you can get your video to load. The less you have, the easier it is to isolate the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMido Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hello everyone I followed some guides and I can say its a total success! I have a C612 ruing High Sierra DP6. with dual engineering sample processors E5-2690v4 and I just wanna know is there any different xnu power management scheme in my case ? First, some back story: I'd since corrected any issues with power management, injected frequency vectors, corrected the SSDTs using information I got booted in linux and had all my frequencies correct. So I knew this wasn't anything to do with using an engineering sample. My poor scores had a very strange behavior to them. My scores would be fairly high right after a restart, usually 3293 cb , but would quickly drop over minutes down to my low 2000 cb. If I immediately ran Geekbench a second time, I would usually get At first I thought this was a heat issue and the CPUs were rapidly heating once OS X was loaded due to some issue in the power management. However, I verified that my cooling (which is very generous for 2x 135W) wasn't an issue. I did some stress tests in Linux while monitoring all core temperatures, and even with all cores at 3GHz for 10 minutes straight, I couldn't even hit 50°C on a single core. So my cooling certainly seemed adequate. and on windows10 I get around 4100 cb.
