This guide requires to be able to boot in MacOS! You also need to use Clover bootloader [no enoch support here]
Why do I need this guide ?
- Check GPU compatibility with Mac OS
- Enable GPU acceleration and get rid of laggy animations ;
Make sure you are using the latest kernel
Open TERMINAL and type
High Sierra : 17.0.0 =<
How to update the Kernel : http://forum.amd-osx.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2711
Get your GPU ID :
Windows use GPU-Z
You should see "Device ID". The first 4 digits (1002) is the vendor ID (AMD/ATI). You want the next 4 digits (deviceID). Write them down.
Mac OS Click on the Apple icon (top left) -> About this Mac -> System Report -> Graphics/Display. Write down the Device ID.
Installation
Determine your next action by answering few questions :
Is my GPU device ID listed? * look at the pictures below.
How to enable RadeonDeInit
How to Fake the device ID of the GPU and InjectATI
Links to apps and kexts

- No
- Is my OS > 10.10.3 ?
- Yes → Install Lilu.kext + WhateverGreen.kext.
- (Still not working?) Enable RadeonDeInit
- No → manually add your GPU ID to info.plist as <DeviceID>1002 (ex. 0x67391002) in AMD___Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX___.kext (not covered in this guide)
- Yes → Install Lilu.kext + WhateverGreen.kext.
- Is my OS > 10.10.3 ?
- Yes
- OOB ?
- NO → Fake the ID of your GPU with the ID of a similar supported GPU and set InjectATI to true in config.plist
- Is the FakeID listed as OOB ?
- Yes
- Is my OS > 10.10.3 ?
- Yes → Install Lilu.kext + WhateverGreen.kext.
