I've tried both methods..

crashes again in FCPX... :-(

In Unigine tests i see rpm changes 

 

The console error i get is:

 (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 1 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 9 seconds.

 

 

 

If you using GM Mojave final  - in my opinion is not good for Vega Cards...maybe you need try use betas developers program ... if you want post your config.plist I will inject for you test (hide your serial number SMBIOS)

 

 

"Fan Speed(%)"=22

"Core Clock(MHz)"=132

"Memory Clock(MHz)"=500

"Fan Speed(RPM)"=1125

"Temperature(C)"=60

 

Im using little bit more quiet fan

Okay, this is my final shot on this topic.......

 

First of all, I haven't loaded FCPX in a long long time, but just in case, I decided I would see if I could reproduce your issues.   The short answer is:  I couldn't.

 

Running with the VegaTab_Best kext, I first loaded Bruce X 5K test.  If anything could crash FCPX (10.4.3), this should be able to.  Then I exported it at 5K (5120x2700).  In less than 10 seconds it outputted a complete final movie and it was perfect.  It ran flawlessly.

 

Then I opened an older project, about 2 minutes long.   It was loaded with special effects, color corrections, transforms, 3d text, customized audio, stabilization, etc.  I exported it and again, FCPX flew through it with no problems, and quickly, very quickly produced a final project, and it was, again, flawless.

 

I really don't know what kind of computer you are running, but it appears to me there's more going on with your system than just the graphics card drivers. 

 

At any rate, if my kexts don't work for you, work with Max or CMMChris and use their configurations, and, at this point, just work with them.   On the previous page, CMMChris posted a config that might work for you using the insertion method.....try it!   I can't help you any further than I have.

 

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Hi Megan! I really appreciate all the help here!
Im very frustrated. I've tried lots of fixes.
Sometimes BruceTest crashes, sometimes Unigine Valley or Adobe premiere adjusting color..
Im getting crazy. really. 
I've tried the another method here. and nothing.
Im in Mojave now, but 10.3.5 is the same.
With RX 580 i had the same issue. Moved to Vega 64 and crash again..
Bios settings, ID's, DSDT's.. nothing can help me.

Asus Prime A Z370 - 8700k

 

I lost tooo many hours trying. Im considering to change my hardware. 
But who is the problem here? Mobo? GPU? Tried remove memory too  .. but no sucess

 

Thank you very much. 

greetings from Brazil

No, don't change system files. Might be overwritten by updates. Either inject your PPT by Kext or Clover Device Properties method. Put this inside your Clover config.plist as shown in the screenshot.

This should give you around 28k in Luxmark, 190,000 in Geekbench and a silent card.

Fala Rodrigo meu brother!!!

 

Se precisar podemos conversar em Português!! Precisava saber sua configuração da BIOS, se está usando a aceleração de hardware de sua possível placa HD intel, se seu processador é intel...isso influencia muito nas placas como a AMD RX Vega. 

 

Estou às suas ordens, pode mandar msg privada ou se quiser pega meu WhatsApp...abraços!!!

VGTab seems to have some bug. Out of curiosity I tried using a Windows PowerPlay Table and manually adjusted the VGTab generated fan speed and temperature values, leaving the rest default. Fan control now works much better. The delay for the fan spin is gone and fans spin down much faster. The fan control now behaves as it does on Windows. I will keep playing around with this and release some PowerPlay Tables to test once I am done.

I'm keen to see what you come up with. I have a Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 that has lovely quiet fans, but some shocking coil whine whenever I scroll webpages, or the source editor in Xcode. It's driving me batty, and making me consider going back to an RX5xx series GPU.

I agree and came to the same conclusion. VGATab has clearly issues. I do not advise to use it but rather stick to your own bios and modify it accordingly.

I created a Excel-Spreadsheet to modify the fan table based on my bios (Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56) and the Vega Fan Table specification. There is still some funky things going on how apple works with the fan table definition. Apple completely ignores bios settings like fan on / off settings for certain temperatures / speeds. What would be really helpful to get a bios dump from a IMac Pro and see how they have set the powertable.

 

For me the highest goal at the moment is to get a decent fan control.

The way I set the fans now is that they always turn at 800 rpm and are therefore not audible.

What is really strange.... when putting the Vega56 on high load and heating it up.... the fans spin up niceley.... however.... afterwards the fans spin up some more and only then slowly go to the idle speed again.

I have not found yet a way to get fans spin down in a more responsive way.

It seems there is nothing we can do about it, because this is controlled by Apple ATI drivers.

I read in another post that playing a mp4 video spins down fans, which is even weirder.

Maybe someone can write a background process to simulate that behaviour, if it is a workable solution.

Thanks, Mike

@Tony Arnold There is nothing you can do about coil whine except for lowering the maximum clock. The coil whine is a hardware issue, not software. The reason you hear it more on macOS is the UI which uses the GPU more heavily than on Windows.

 

@Mike Ranger Not sure yet if I will come up with something. Have some issues with Windows PowerPlay tables that I couldn't solve yet. Regarding the fan spin-up after load: I have this on Windows as well when controlling the card with only a PowerPlay table. This seems to be normal behavior.

So I have now built one table that works for me with the fan control performing like it does on Windows. Maybe some people want to try it and report to me. Config is stock for OC cards:
GPU 1630MHz 1200mV | MEM 945MHz 1350mV | Target Temp 80°C | Max Fan 2600RPM | Min / Idle 100RPM (= Fan Off)

hi CMMChris, you have a guide on using clover to do the 'clover inject'?  Also, I have to remove the VegaTab_64.kext from efi/clover/kext/other, right?

Please check posts above for the clover inject. But if you are already using a Kext you can place the PPT inside of it. Just overwrite the VGTab generated one.

Didn't produce good results.  The coil while was way worse than before, although the fan was quiet.  Didn't try stressing the GPU.  Quickly went back to your previous kext to be safe - VegaTab_64.kext. Just in case - I'm on a reference ASRock Vega 64 (PG X R RX VEGA 64 8G)

 

How I tested:

1\ Open Terminal and navigate to your kext - VegaTab_64.kext

2\ cd inside the Kext\Contents and vi Info.plist

3\ scroll to end of file where your original table is and replace with new table

4\ save, quit, reboot

 

Wasn't sure if I was supposed to modify clocks.txt or not.

I created a PowerPlayTable Generator in Excel based on a Windows PowerPlayTable. Offers much more settings than VGTab. This works great for me. You guys can play around with different settings. The Preset is an OC card stock configuration with lower voltage and overclocked memory. Should work fine for all cards.

 

To use the data, paste the hex code into an editor, get rid of line breaks and spaces and then insert it into your Clover config or the Kext files info.plist using a plist editor like Xcode (will automatically convert it into the base64 encoded data).

super cool, thanks for sharing!  so you just change the values in column AF to produce the hex table, then convert to base64 and upload to kext.  my next challenge, understanding the rhyme/reason for the values in column AF :)

This mean 10.14.1 supports Vega 64 OOTB?  No more playing with PowerTables?

 

Im not sure, but you need test without power table... im not tested without...but it seems like High Sierra to me.... very strong...
