GUIDE: OpenCL & Metal performance increase on 5700xt

[iamso78]

Following this guide on Youtube (Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any hardware failure, use at your own risk).
Guide is pretty simple inject W5700X properties under DeviceProperties, performance increase gain in Geekbench as following (havent done real world testing eg. FCPX, Davinci Resolve).

Glad you got things working, however the video is utterly useless as there is no option for subs and the ones that are hard coded are obviously not English.

Is not that hard, even if you dont understand it the language, the video itself show you what to do.
On google drive you find the plist containing the dict to add under Device Property for Opencore config.plist.
You then use Hackintool find your device path for your graphic card eg. PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0) and just rename it.
There 3 PowerPlayTable settings on google drive you can play around with parameter PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable.

FIY EFI Verison & ROM value can be found using GPU-Z under Windows or it may display under Graphics/Displays in system info, i believe these values are purely aesthetic i.e. wont make any difference.

In short:
1) copy paste dictionary
2) rename device path, EFI Verison & ROM value
3) modify or delete PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable value if you wish, delete MacOS will use it default drivers value.

Does this work for the non-XT version of the card?

I don’t have non XT to test, but GPU die wise is the same Navi10 minus few compute units, don’t see why it won’t work. Seen plently of ppl flashing XT bios on non XT cards.

So I used it, and yes, the performance gain on Geekbench is amazing, but on Davinci I don't see any, actually I think is a bit slower on render, but marginal, so it might be just because of GPU temperature... not sure, but will keep playing!

Worked here too... Got a Benchmarkboost from 42xxx to 74xxx. I just replaced the Powerplaytable with my own settings. See this.

But.. I get from time to time Graphic glitches.. not very often... but I got them.. because of this, and I really appreciate more fps, I won't use this boost any longer :/
Update: Will check it once more...

Yeap. Works like intended.
What power setting have you used by default in your w5700x.plist? I have not replaced the contents of the P_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable. I left it as it was in the w5700x.plist file.

Is it the 1, 2(+) or 3(++) powertable setting?

most aggressive OC settings ++, real life appllcation doesnt make any difference, probably saw 1-2fps increase in Total war warhammer benchmark, still unplayable.

Is it safe to keep the card at the ++ settings? Or should I drop it to the low one?

I have the MSI rx5700xt Mech OC. So I changed also the device name in the w5700x.plist. Also I added my correct efi firmware and rom.

My only problem (which I had even before this mod) is that the mouse cursor sometimes "jumps" and skips.

I deleted the device property, makes no difference in real life application. I never had mouse cursor jump or skips issues ever on Hackintosh (using MX master)

Hello, is there a configuration file for VEGA64?

 

[sprl]

Same here, FCPX and Davinci have no impact with this, Only the benchmark.. witch makes me doubt more about this benchmarks...

I don't think there's much reason to edit the power play settings unless you want to change the zero rpm behaviour, since there is no performance benefit.

Thank you, this looks to work. Geekbench 5 scores more in line with what is supposed to be. Will try this on FCP X and other stuff as well.
