AMD RX 6000 Series Working (macOS 11.4 beta 1)

[Gigamaxx]

Big Navi finally got support in BS 11.4.1 Beta.

Metal scores basically double the Open CL scores.
Nice to finally have the beginnings of a new level of OS support.

I’ve seen that the 6700 XT isn’t working though. Not sure why apple left it out or maybe it’ll come in a later beta.

Here's the report:

Apple released the first developer beta of macOS 11.4 with the ability for Intel-based Macs to connect to GPUs that use AMD Navi RDNA2 architecture.

Hi,
Have made a comparaison with the radeon VII on this first beta 11.4 ?

Lets hope so, now only Navi21 shows up in the 6000.kext. Navi22 is still in the 6000Framebuffer.kext. Navi23 is still there as well, that could be a monster card.

Navi 23 will be the smallest, most likely for the RX 6500 XT and RX 6300 XT

You're right my bad, I was thinking of the Navi31. Navi29 is popping up now, Navii24-25 as well but not as frequent.

I've been waiting for it!
That said, I'm not a developer so I can't download it ...
When will the official release be ...?

Official release won't be for a while. You can enrol your system in the developer seed using this command,

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil enroll DeveloperSeed

thank you. When I started the installer to try to install yesterday, it did not advance at all from the apple mark ... We are reviewing the config....
