I just probably caught that little rascal red-handed (woken up for network activity). I always clear my NVRam, sir! I am a clean dude Cheers again, @AudioGod. Your help is very valuable for our hacks and our sanity. oh I almost forgot, you could try removing airportfixup.kext from the EFI and see if it improves your WiFi. i put it in the EFI as standard but it’s not always needed and can even have a bad effect on your connection so give it a try without it if it’s in there or with it if you deleted it.

Will do and report back. In previous configuration (different motherboard) with the same card I did not use the airportfixup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah there you go, it’s probably having a bad effect on your system then so just remove that puppy and see if that sorts it all out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioGod Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Anybody out there using a 5700 XT please be aware that it’s not properly optimised for MacOS yet. It works and works kinda well but there’s a few hiccups going on with them so if your experiencing any strange behaviour with yours then it’s not the EFI of your system at fault it’s Catalina and it will get better. 10.15.3 beta looks like it resolves most the issues so fingers crossed on the next update coming soon.

So, I removed the kext. situation was a little better but I could still hear some glitching on the Bluetooth Headset. Then, I remembered that I read somewhere in this thread or Glasgood's thread that the Wifi Card is expected to be on PCIEX1_3 but I had it installed on PCIEX1_1. I moved the card to the PCIEX1_3 slot and now I can see it under PCI on System Report, also I have not noticed any glitches yet. Very interesting Edited December 20, 2019 by WizeMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioGod Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) @WizeManYeah that’s right, the WiFi card needs to be on PCIEX1_3 Edited December 20, 2019 by AudioGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD can barely dial that thing in even on Windows. They just fixed the signal loss, which would crash your game or worse fully lock up your system, in an optional driver update. I updated and lost Sidecar. Everything else works great but no Sidecar. So FYI to those that need it, maybe stay away from the .3 betas for now. I’m on 19,1. Tho it does feel hella snappy!

The benchmarks Of my 5700xt are barely matching my vega56 in cat, In windows however I’m touching 10000 in timespy. This is the same old story of when I switched to the vega 56, it ran bad for a while at first too. Edited December 20, 2019 by AudioGod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdmje Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I've been playing with shikigva values with no luck for getting Sidecar working using a lightning cable. My processor is an i7 9700 with an internal HD 630. Just to mention that the iGPU it's now shown on the graphics section on system information and i don't know if this is the normal behaviour. Apple TV+ is working fine using shikigva=80 but i used shikigva=16 in order to avoid a system freeze when accesing netflix. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioGod Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Dude your never gonna get it to work on a RX Polaris cos drm is broken and this includes on real macs too.

No worries bud. also when your running igpu in headless mode you don’t want it to be listed in your system info so that is all correct. Sidecar works if your using smbios19,1 wireless and wired. Tried and tested by many including myself. do you have a WiFi/Bluetooth card in your system? Edited December 21, 2019 by AudioGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if i set Internal Graphics > Enabled in the bios (revision F11), the system won't boot and shows the typical prohibit symbol so i have to leave it as Auto. Anyway, just playing a bit since i don't need Sidecar either. Thank you again for all your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok it’s not working because you have it on auto, it needs to be set to enabled or it will b off even when set too auto. what you need to do to clear the stop sign or boot kp is save your bios setting as a bios profile and then remove the power from the mains and then remove the motherboard battery for a few mins and then put it all back and load back in your bios profile and try again. if it still won’t boot then you have somthing wrong with your setup And native nvram because it should and would boot after that. You can also try reducing the igpu memory from 64mb too 32mb but that is a last resort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjiolino Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I copied your EFI folder with Radeon VII and the Aorus Pro and 9900k and an it's stuck at End RandomSeed. Your old EFI worked perfect for me with iMac Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BIOS is on 11. The whole structure has changed since F10. But I think I made all settings. I'm gonna recheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
