The problem is I can't see any screen... No Bios no Boot loader... that is part of my confusion on how to problem solve...

Hey, So I needed to swap out my Radeon VII for a RX 580. I now only have the RX 580 and am located in a part of the world where computer parts are hard to get (locally or shipped). I had hoped that I would be able to swap out the two cards without issue but after install and powering on I have never been able to get any signal from the RX 580 using any of the ports. I also tried to boot using a windows startup disk and the onboard graphics but still no signal. I have checked the cables and the monitors and that isn't the issue... Any suggestions on how to problem solve what is going on? I would have assumed maybe the card is dead but if that is the case then why no signal from the onboard gpu, and I am assuming it has nothing to do with the OpenCore as again I have detached the HD that OC is on and only have the Windows 10 drive plugged in. System Specs: i9900k 8 core CPU / z390 Gigabyte Designare / 64GB - DDR4 3600 Preditor RAM / RX 580 Sapphire Amor 8GB / EVO 860 1TB - Start up Drive OS / etc: OpenCore BigSur (can't remember the exactly which version)

Thanks as always I will give this a try tomorrow and report back! Much appreciated!

I am having odd USB mapping issues and yes I have watched both your explainer videos on USB port mapping but something different is happening I think. i9-9900k / 390z Designare / 64GB DDR4 / Radeon VII OpenCore // OS 11.2 I could not get several ports to show up in Hackintool. So I used IOReg and STILL the Thunderbolt type C ports would not activate (on restart or hot swap). On top of that my USB 3.1 ports are all grouped on the same identifier. As you can see ALL of the USB 3.1 gen 1 are reporting as SS07 My type A USB 3.2 gen 2 come up separate BUT I can't get the same disks to mount using a C type cable in the thunderbolt ports. The Interior Motherboard Header is powering my Fenvi-919 card and is HS11 (that is operating but I wanted to make sure we don't remove it as I need that power) Here is a pic of what is going on and I have also attached a Send Me file which I just ran. Any help wold be greatly appreciated! thank you! Send me sConveys-Mac-Pro-2.zip

UPDATE - So the issues I experienced under Catalina (Clover) are now happening with Big Sur (OC)-- slow boot, slow window, BG loading, typing slow, and spontaneous shut downs. I have Removed RAM sticks and moved them to different slots, I have reset the BIOS to Dortina's Chipset recomendations, and still the issues persist. On one shutdown I got a "Boot falure detected" from BIOS on reboot attempt. HARDWARE or BIOS or BOTH? - So I am worried that it may be a hardware issue (which would be a problem for me as I am not located in an area where there are many options for specific parts) I have done another SEND ME and am also attaching the BIOS screens just to see if something maybe sticks out to you. I know you can't solve hardware issues ( ) however if you have any suggestions or guesses as to what may be going onI would be very grateful. Send me sconveys-pro.zip BIOS screens.zip ADDITIONAL QUESTION - IF it were the RAM that is causing this issue (I do see the vram debugging light sometimes throughout this process) I am wondering if it is a power issue... In Big Sur under "about this Mac" when I look at memory it has my RAM showing up at 2400MHz (but my RAM is 3600MHz Kingston Predator Hyperx) AND says there is an issue what should my BIOS ram settings be I have had X.M.P on Profile one (and not touched any of the RAM power adjustments) (image of Big Sur RAM "issue"

Thanks! Any specific BIOS setting I need to be aware of? Also will I need to do USB mapping with this like I did with Clover?

OK so I have Big Sur installed... I had a hard time getting it to take and I still can't tell if my previous issue is Hardware or software but Install and sleep and boot are all working and the SEND ME file is attached here Thanks! Send me sconveys-pro.zip

OK I am going to start and attempt the OC install using your OC-Vinilla App and your instructions on YT and the site here. ONE QUESTION -- should I update my MOBO BIOS to F9j (it is currently f8), also if I follow the app and guide I am assuming I will still need some custom DSDT patching? So... assuming I can get the OS up and running, should I send you a new SEND ME file for tweaks? THANKS!

OK so Big Sur is stable enough with my hardware to go for it? If so I will but if Catalina will be more stable I don't mind.

Ha! If we must :-) I will need a few days to do some research and purchase a new SSD..... What Installer do you think is best for this sytem? thx!

After a month in storage my i9900k / Designere is booting oddly (& slowly) and everything is opening slow and behaving poorly. See video here: Description of issue: Apple screen loads slowly, before OS login screen the apple and progress bar flash on the screen in the lower left corner (opposed to the center) then Catalina desktop image doesn’t load (black bg only) and the menu top bar SLOOOWLY loads and it can take 30-40 seconds until desktop image loads and icons appear on screen. After that the entire system is slow, opening apps. Running apps, typing is laggy…. This behavior is erratic in that sometimes on restart it will load and seemingly work fine. ** SENDME file attached ** SPECS: i9900k 8 core CPU, z390 Gigabyte Designare, 64GB - DDR4 3600 Preditor RAM, Sapphire VII GPU, EVO 860 1TB (Start up), EVO 870 pro 1TB Cache, NZXT Kraken Water Cooler, EVEA 750 3G, Fenvi FV-T919 wifi card, Fractal Design Meshify C Case Send me imac-pro.zip

So I have 10.15.4 So I should be safe?

Hey there, I was recently made aware of a Boost that works with Radeon GPU's as discussed here: MaLd0n helped me out a lot getting my system all dialed in and while it is working I am feeling like my GPU isn't working up to spec and would love to get more out of it if possible. Can you see any issues with the linked guide that may arise with my system?

Yeah, I assumed I may have to have a dual boot system. (which I don't) but good to know and as always thanks for the info! Cheers!

My bad I meant the Firmware... I read that Early release Radeon VII has broken UEFI GOP. Which fixed by firmware update. And I guess the first step would be to check what version of the firmware I have which I also don't know how to do thanks for the quick reply.
