For some reason my CPU is displayed as an i5 3.7GHz - does this affect how programs read from the host? (which may be part of the problem below)

I currently don't have MacProMemoryReporterDisabler enabled yet, which I will do with the same fix as the BT/WiFi, but wanted to share that a program that polled sysinfo prior to launch crashed due to RAM configuration (48/64 GB Passthrough). I think this is a really important note.

good. this will take a while. it's an excellent benchmark for the threadripper as it parallelizes on every core! :). Let's hope you have enough disk space. when done the kernel .deb files shoudl be there

fabiosun · August 7, 2020

you did? 🙂

meina222 · August 7, 2020

Nice you just build the kernel :).

You can actually build it now every time Linus Torvalds updates it. I will post instructions on that too - it's a simple git command. Let me fix the missing dpkg-dev add-in in step 1. Thanks for the help.

tsongz · August 7, 2020

Actually - @iGPU, I went to grab the latest AirportBrcmFixup kext and saw this note

I don't quite follow 100% - I opened the kext and did find it in Plugins, but would you set the kext path to those two and then add a block to the kernel option?

This might be easier if done through a docker container, I'll write a quick Dockerfile to compile it so that it doesn't interfere with the host dependencies.

Don't worry about " my CPU is displayed as an i5 3.7GHz -" it's only cosmetic.

As for Hackintool, I was referring to the address/path: "PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x10,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)" (not the id "BA430000"). You can find in Hackintool. Export, then copy from txt file and paste in place of what I'd uploaded earlier.

Don't worry about that warning. I started with that but not necessary. As for kext, you don't need to open, I was simply explaining where it is located. But, do copy EXACTLY what I showed in the image. I'll re-upload below, but as text portion and you can copy and paste into OC config file.

@meina222installed new kernel by now

Oh - so is it that we're masking BCM4360 -> BCM4355 for compatibility using DeviceProperties so that it loads the BCM kexts that is supported?

meina222 · August 8, 2020

I want to change my SMBIOS from iMacPro1,1 on my Catalina to MacPro7,1. Does anyone know if iMessage will stop working if I change my serials and smbios? Thanks.

It's recommended to sign out of iCloud before changing SMBIOS. Then sign back in after the change. You'd want to change serials as it would be a 'different' computer.

@tsongz

I spent an entire day last night and this AM on debugging my GPU performance under Catalina. Just like you, I had sub-par benchmark results in Geekbench Metal and OpenCL. Ultimately what fixed for me was injecting some properties into my DeviceProperties section of config list. I have a 5700XT and after I added this list to my injection, my score went from low 40'000s to

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/1316406. (OpenCL)

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/1316421. (Metal)

This list applies to 5700XT and PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1C,0x3)/Pci(0x0,0x0) is my GPU PCIE id from Hackintool/IORegistry so you need to find the right injection for your VEGA 64. I found out my VBIOS version and added the ID's for pure cosmetics, but I believe the other properties is what helps. I have heard that this affects real-world benchmarks much less. I did not do any rendering tests, but I do feel the graphics is now more fluid.

I also change my smbios to MacPro7,1 as I found slightly superior performance in CPU and GPU.

You need to 1st read some of

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-radeon-performance-enhanced-ssdt.296555/

They describe 2 methods - SSDT and sometime later the device property injection. The thread is a big mess though so you won't find a clean tutorial.

For the property injection I got tips from this thread but they only apply to 5700XT.

https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php?threads/guide-opencl-metal-performance-increase-on-5700xt.387/

You can find lots of Vega 64 info on tonymacx86. But it's a big mess. Do no use kexts - try to find how to inject your PCI into device properties. And finally, it'd be nice to try and check if this translates to real world app gains or just fooling benchmarks. You also need to be careful about temperature and fan control. The 5700XT behaves nicely, but I read some people had issues with Vega 64's.

⚠️ DO NOT USE BELOW ''as is" - given just as reference to 5700XT owners - amend according to your PCI ID and version.

I need to add to the above that in Big Sur Beta4, the drivers seem to have been natively improved and the bench performance and smoothness is where it should be without any Whatevergreen or DeviceProperty injections. I also confirmed that Whatevegreen is not needed at all in Big Sur as it doesn't even get a chance to load.

I did exactly that. Thanks! MacPro7,1 shows marginally better scores for what is worth on synthetic benchmarks. I wanted to do this to investigate GPU sub-par scores but ultimately I think a different hack unlocked the synthetic benchmark secret without compromising stability in 10.15.6 - which kexts like RadeonBoost do for my card (kernel panics in 10.15.5 and above).

@meina222 - That's awesome - going to try it out! I have VegaFE kexts and ACPI info that I've pulled and collected since they're pretty rare, and there's a specific RadeonBoost.kext that still has the Vegas supported (I believe newer versions aren't supported). Do you find that the kext itself makes a significant difference?

meina222 · August 8, 2020

The Radeon boost is not playing well with Mac OS Catalina since version 10.15.5 for Navi - causing instability and kernel panics. If you use device properties you should be able to get the boost without any kexts. I don’t use any other than WEG and Lilu. WEG might not be needed just like in Big Sur but I include it since some Navi cards require a boot argument to bypass a black screen on boot issue. With device property injection even WEG may not be needed. Not sure if Vega requires different values.

@tsongz,

You BT/Wifi card seems a bit wonky. As I mentioned earlier, can you test it in another Hackintosh to prove that it works? If it doesn't work then you can be a new card rather than spend more time trouble-shooting.

***

I have many set-ups for SSDT/kext/DevProp for Vega 56, 64, 5700 and Rad VIIs. If you want I can post them. I worked them up for users on the X570 build.

If you have an air-cooled Vega 56/64 you want to stay away from the RadeonBoost kext as it will spin up the fans. The SSDTs or DevProp are better for those.

Let me know what exactly you want and I'll post it.

Tonight I ran tests for iMacPro1,1 vs MacPro7,1 for Cinebench 20 and LuxMark. The results were identical all around. I'm sticking with iMacPro1,1.

I would avoid to use any kext to improve gpu performance.

test GPU with real application like davinci resolve or adobe media encoder if you are not interested only to improve geek bench results😂

by the way

In my rigs imacpro stays the best smbios I used from x99 system To trx40

about 32gb ddr4 module

could you post (user with 32 ddr4 module) a screen grab of about my Mac memory slot?

thank you

tsongz · August 9, 2020

@iGPU - I don't have a second hackintosh yet, though I will likely rebuild my Xeon e5-2680v2 here soon, so I can test it on that. I was planning on plugging it into my real 2010 Mac Pro (mojave) to see if it's recognized. It currently uses another Broadcom chipset, so I think that should validate it.

Have a question on CPU Flags running cpu as host for nested virtualization. Currently I'm trying to get Docker up and running on Big Sur b4. I've tested every method, including Docker for Desktop (Mac), docker-machine (cli + virtualbox), and all have crashed. I think it's likely due to Docker not seeing some intel specific flags on macos, as AMD uses different virtualization names. (smx, ept).

One thing I haven't tried yet is unloading the VBoxHfs.efi from my EFI Driver, as I only use purely an NVME passthrough now, which could be the reason it's causing VirtualBox to crash, but I was wondering if anyone's played around with the flags yet to get nested virtualization working on host cpu

My boot argument not so complicated, but I don't know if it will help your Docker problem:

@iGPUcould you post a screenshot of about my Mac memory section?

i would like to see how 32gb modules are seen in your rig

i have bought four modules but there I see 8 slot full populated with 16 gb modules each

also other users with 32gb modules type if possible

thank you
