 | Hello, I needed a very low-power and budget friendly GPU, only dedicated for pure bureautic tasks such as browsing or writing my lessons 'cause I'm a student at the Université. I managed to get my hands on a cheap AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 2GB for 30 Euros second hand, shipping included. Fair price honnestly. It's a Lexa-core based GPU, basically a Pro RX 550. Single-slot, very compact... The perfect bet despite being quite noisy... The fully supported Radeon Pro WX 4100 is more expensive tho for not that much difference in term of raw power with the little WX 2100. To make it working under MacOS, you need to spoof it with Baffin-core based RX 550 device-id : FF67. How ? Find your GPU path with Hackintool (or gfxutil) and right click on it : copy device path (not the ioreg one) and do exactly what the picture is showing in your config.plist in DeviceProperties/Add section. The model string is purely cosmetic : you can rename it "RTX 4090 AMD Edition" if you want. I didn't add neither any boot-args or SSDTs nor specific kexts : only WhateverGreen.kext. Don't mind the PCIe path of audio above. Pros : you can have a cheap GPU working under MacOS. Every outputs work such as Display port and the two Mini Dispay-Ports. Cons : DRM contents in Safari not working such as Netflix. Hackintool shows "VDA decoder failed" even if hardware acceleration works perfectly. I honnestly don't care 'cause I'm using Chrome ! If someone has an idea, how to fix it just for pure Mac experience (lol)... As I saw on the web, it's a common "issue" for Lexa spoofed GPUs. Et voilà ! [link] [comments] |
