Re: Long Standing Mac -917X Error Problem Finally Resolved
Yes, I am running 10.13.6 with the old hd5770 with no issue (apart from the 917x errors). Mojave need an upgrade of the video card. I have also noticed that 917x errors were dramatically reduced by removing kontakt 5 from the plugin folder

By the way, I should be clear that I have no evidence that upgrading to 10.13 instead of 10.14 wouldn't fix the problem too. It's just not what I did. As I mentioned I've been told by Avid that Pro Tools "works better" with 10.14 anyway so I started this last experiment there. My take from the context was "Works better" included more drawing routine re-writes and maybe the completion of the effort altogether. So I suggest it might be the best place to start regarding fixing this issue. |

While we're on the subject of 580 cards will someone clear up some confusion I'm running into? I read in some places that because of the fans on the card they block the next pcie slot up from the card leaving only two open slots - is that right? |

Re: Long Standing Mac -917X Error Problem Finally Resolved
Some do and some don’t. Depends on the brand and model.
This one comes factory over clocked and as you can see, the cooler is a bit beefier and a tad bit taller than the mounting bracket and would block the next up PCIe x16 slot. https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-rade...1FT-000B-000G5 This one is the standard reference card and fits as a standard 2 slot card providing access to the second PCIe x16 slot above it (just like the factory Mac card). I have this card and it’s fine. https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-rade...quicklink=true I have a dual nvme adapter mounted in the second PCIe x16 slot right above mine and feared it would restrict the airflow to the GPU but Radeon cards have a feature called “Chill” that makes the card almost passive cooling meaning the fans only kick in on GPU intensive tasks... but even when they need to, I have zero over heating or fan noise issues.

edit for additional: Trust tried online support chat with Newegg and it was a colossal waste of time. No one of their chat people are tech trained and they don't have a tech support department/group anymore. Given that I don't feel comfortable ordering anything from then. edit for more: This card gives you a boot screen? A couple of Youtube videos say that it doesn't which would make it useless for me.

Re: Long Standing Mac -917X Error Problem Finally Resolved
To acquire a Mac flashed efi card, you have to find one on eBay or from here.
http://www.macvidcards.com/ The off the shelf card will work but of course no boot screens. I got mine on eBay from a seller named chopfooey. Ran about $250 and came with power cables and yes just replace the card and plug in power. Boot screen just like a official Mac card.

Long Standing Mac -917X Error Problem Finally Resolved
Am I missing a trick not having my 580 flashed? I can live without the boot screen but interested in stability. Didn’t think it made a difference.

I had to get a couple of wooden stirrers to space between the 580 and my NVMe card!

Re: Long Standing Mac -917X Error Problem Finally Resolved
If you don’t need/miss the boot screens then NO, you are missing nothing. I was running a off the shelf PC Radeon RX580 until I got the custom flashed card. All is 100% the same other than boot screen ability.
Coffee stir sticks?! Haha too funny! 😁
