AMD Radeon Performance Enhanced SSDT (Navi & Vega)

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi @MaLd0n,

I just found this post today about performance improvement with Navi and Vega cards thanks to a dedicated SSDT which should properly assign framebuffer : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-radeon-performance-enhanced-ssdt.296555/

I tried the method explained here but I didn't noticed any performance change (using Geekbench 5.3.0 Compute benchmark in OpenCL and Metal)

So my question is quite simple : did you already implemented this in the DSDT you provided to me ? Or maybe it is directly included in WEG now ?

Also, should I use https://github.com/Pavo-IM/AGPMInjector with my config ? (iMac19,1 and MSI RX Vega64) Because as I understood we should have a control-id of 0x12 which is not the case for me as I have a control-id of 0x11 as showed in the screenshot here : https://imgur.com/a/J11MyVi

If any case, thank you again for your work and help!

Have a nice day
