High fan speed while idle is fixed through an eGPU enclosure. Sadly it remains loud in the cMP.
wonder if this would be fixed in cMP on 10.13.4 beta? looks like official support is coming soon according to another thread.
Hmm, that's odd. Thank you for the update.
[doublepost=1516839620][/doublepost]On a side note, has anyone tried 10.13.4 with an Nvidia card yet? Has Apple limited eGPU support for AMD cards only?
That would be truly something else, booting without nVidia drivers into macOS with post Kepler cards.
Yes it does. RX 560 is recognized correctly as well amongst other RX cards. 10.13.4 no long causes sleep issues with these cards in the Mac Pro tower.
im curious what does the card show up as in PCI devices?
do all the cards now have proper framebuffers like the eGPU Dev kits RX580 or are the other cards still using the Generic AMD,Radeon framebuffer?

Have you confirmed Vega cards no longer have sleep issues? Your screenshot is not from a Mac Pro tower and does not show a Vega GPU. Theitsage stated the high fan speed issue is still present. Therefore sleep may not work still.
I have a Vega FE currently running in a MacPro tower. Fan remains loud but macOS identifies it correctly and it sleeps/wakes up fine.
Hi ppl!
Stumbled upon this thread, while I tried to work with my eGPU Matiz w/ a Vega 56 in it. On macos 10.13.3 the system still sees it as AMD RX xxx.
Is there any way in macOS or any third party tool that allows AMD bios flash on the eGPU? Also is there any way under macOS to tweak the card performance, like gpu & memory bandwitdh?

Just install the 10.13.4 beta or wait for the final release.

Have you tried a PRAM reset? I don’t understand why it would treat the card differently as an external GPU.
PRAM reset didn't help. Tried it out of curiosity.
Still... it seems things are moving forward, even if it's at a glacial pace.

Hopefully that'll get fixed. 10.13.4 has problems even with my original Apple HD 5870. When I open a photo with Preview it's just a blue screen.
Since the Update to 10.13.4 my Vega64 finally shows up correctly. Also wake and sleep works now without glitches.
Didn`t had the time for excessive testing but. Just quickly: Luxmark test went up a bit from around 26000 to nearly 28000. Trying to do some testing as soon as possible but it looks like it behaves "smoother" all in all.
Fans are up but that doesn't disturb me much.

That's great! I wonder if any of the non-reference cards have a fan(s) that is more quiet. I know the fan on the liquid cooled reference version can be replaced with a silent fan, but then of course you lose a HD bay for the radiator and there's the possibility of leaks.
Forwards and backwards at the same time.
10.13.4 helps the constant activity thing, but it also disappeared all but one of my DP ports.
Vega FE with water. So I don't really know about the fan.
Any Vega improvement with the second 10.3.4 beta? With my HD 5870 the Preview and Photos apps are still broken (as in the first beta). Preview displays solid blue screen. Photos displays solid red screen. Anyone else experience this?

My understanding is that Vega 64 FE's Device ID should be 6863 regardless which cooler it use.
Then it's weird and I know other people as well that had trouble on 10.13.3 and 10.3.4 beta1.
Anyone else have managed Vega FE Liquid to work?
