Vega 20
All Vega based dedicated GPUs are natively supported in macOS with Vega 20 GPUs starting in Mojave. In this case, they do work on the latest macOS and you can proceed.
| Card | Initial Support | Latest Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radeon VII | Mojave (10.14.5) | Sequoia (15) |
Vega 10
Vega 10 GPUs are natively supported in macOS. In this case, they do work on the latest macOS and you can proceed. The only brand of GPUs to avoid with Vega 10 is XFX, due to VBIOS communication issues, which can’t be easily solved with a reference BIOS as the Vega’s powerplay table interacts with the OS and GPU differently.
| Card | Initial Support | Latest Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vega 56 | High Sierra (10.13) | Sequoia (15) | |
| Vega 64 | High Sierra (10.13) | Sequoia (15) | |
| Radeon Pro: Vega Frontier Edition | High Sierra (10.13) | Sequoia (15) | |
| Radeon Pro WX 9100 | High Sierra (10.13) | Sequoia (15) |
Polaris 10 and 20
For Polaris, basically every model is supported. The only brands you should avoid with the Polaris series would be XFX, PowerColor, HIS and VisionTek as many users have had bootloader and macOS boot issues. In this case, they do work on the latest macOS and you can proceed.

Lexa core based GPUs
Lexa based GPUs require a device-id property spoof to get the accelerator to match, the driver itself actually supports these cards yet there’s no accelerator class.

Unsupported GPUs
Older AMD GPU’s and Non-mentioned Cards
While there are other GPU’s that are supported, unfortunately cards not mentioned, will not work in this guide without the user doing more manual modification, even as far as flashing custom VBIOS’ which is out of the scope of this guide. This is due to older AMD cards potentially not having UEFI, thus GPU Passthrough via VFIO is not viable. Solutions like adding UEFI GOP to ROMs of older AMD GPU’s are also out of the scope of the guide, but no discouragement is in order, it may work! If tested, these cards can be added to the support table once confirmed working.
Navi 2X and Navi 3X
While Navi 21, 22 and Navi 23 are supported, Navi 24 and Navi 3X based graphic cards are not at the time of writing. No guarantee can be made for future support. No Steam Deck for u.
