# AMD GPUs
INFO
Pro/workstation cards, as well as OEM or niche cards, may be missing on this list. If they have a consumer equivalent or use the same core as a consumer card, they should work (albeit possibly needing a fake ID).
- ✅ Verified: Works out of the box with confirmed reports
- ☑️ Verified (spoof): Confirmed to work with a fake ID
- ⚠️ Unverified: Should work (possibly with a fake ID), but no confirmed reports
- ❌ Unsupported: Does not work

Important note for MSI Navi users:
- Catalina (10.15) installers and under currently have a VBIOS bug which crashes installers if an MSI Navi card is present. This can be resolved by injecting
ATY,Rom#in your GPU's DeviceProperties with any value. See here for more details: Installer not working with 5700XT #901 (opens new window) - MSI's Polaris and Vega line are not affected by this bug.

# Vega 10 series
| Support Status | |
|---|---|
| Latest Support | Current/Sonoma (14) |
| Initial Support | High Sierra (10.13) |
Just like with Vega 20, Vega 10 GPUs are natively supported in macOS, though these cards' support starts in High Sierra.
And for those who want to overclock/undervolt, check out PyVega (opens new window)
The only brand of GPUs to avoid with Vega 10 is XFX. The reason is VBIOS communication issues which can't be easily solved with a reference BIOS due to how Vega's powerplay table interacts with the OS and GPU.

# Polaris 10 and 20 series
| Support Status | |
|---|---|
| Latest Support | Current/Sonoma (14) |
| Initial Support | Sierra (10.12.6) |
INFO
It is unknown if Lexa support was available in 10.12.6 or if it was added in a future version.
Regarding Polaris, almost every model of card is supported as long as it’s running either a Ellesmere or Baffin core. Lower end cards like the RX 550 may run a Lexa core, meaning that spoofing the GPU to a Baffin core RX 550 is required. The only cards that are not supported are the RX 580 2048SP and RX 590 GME.
The only brands you should avoid with the Polaris series would be XFX (460/560 models), PowerColor, HIS and VisionTek as many users have had bootloader and macOS boot issues. Other users have found fixes/workarounds, though nothing consistent. This seems to be caused by having an odd VBIOS that doesn't communicate well with macOS and the only real solution is flashing another VBIOS, which is not ideal for most users.
INFO
This is a non-exhaustive list, as there are many Polaris 10 and 20 cards. For a device not listed here, check the device ID and compare it to the list below.
Additionally, a few cards may have device IDs that are uncommon. If your card's device ID does not match what is listed in the table, you may need to spoof the device ID.

R7/R9 is also natively supported without too much issue, but we cannot guarantee the success of R5 and R7 cards due to few reports of success with them. Also, be wary that differing from the reference design of these cards has many more issues that require a lot of work to get them to run properly. Sapphire cards are your best bet. Also, the R9 280X/380X are hit or miss on compatibility.

# Unsupported AMD GPUs
# Navi 3x series
Navi 3x series (including Navi 31, Navi 32, and Navi 33) graphics cards remain unsupported at the time of writing. As Apple is no longer making Intel Macs and Apple silicon Macs do not support third-party GPUs, it is unlikely that support for these cards will be added in the future.
Unsupported cards include:
- RX 7600
- RX 7600 XT
- RX 7700 XT
- RX 7800 XT
- RX 7900 GRE
- RX 7900 XT
- RX 7900 XTX

# Navi 24 series
While Navi 21 and Navi 23 are already supported, Navi 24 remains unsupported at the time of writing. As Apple is no longer making Intel Macs and Apple silicon Macs do not support third-party GPUs, it is unlikely that support for these cards will be added in the future. NootRX may add support for Navi 24 cards in the future, but they are currently unsupported.
Unsupported cards include:
- RX 6300

- RX 6500 XT
- Radeon Pro W6300
- Radeon Pro W6400
# AMD APUs (GCN 1-3 and Navi variants)
The integrated GPUs found on mobile and lower end desktop AMD CPUs have unfortunately never had official support with community support quite lacking. While possible to get a display out with some work, graphics acceleration is basically impossible.
Unsupported APUs:
- AMD Radeon Graphics (Zen 4, 5)
- GCN 3 (Excavator Gen 2, Steamroller)
- GCN 2 (Excavator Gen 1, Puma, Puma +)
