eGPU doesn't appear at "GPU to show" dropdown

[cadic]

Describe the bug
When I connect RX 460 external GPU, it does not appear in the list of GPUs. Replacing the card with RX 590 resolves the problem, but why RX 460 does not work?

Details:

• Device: Macbook Pro 15 2018
• MacOS 10.15.7
• Application version 2.4.1
• RX 460 through Mantiz Saturn Pro enclosure

I make a special build that providing logs from the GPU module to file log.txt. The file can be found in the Documents folder. If you could run this build and provide the logs it will very helpful to debug why GPU is not visible.

@exelban thanks!

Stats log.txt

ioreg -r -d 1 -w 0 -c "IOAccelerator" > output.txt

[exelban]

@cadic please try this one and give feedback if it shows all gpus.

@exelban thanks, it doesn't fix the issue, I still just see builtin Intel and Radeon, no external GPU.

I will be able to swap the external card from RX 460 to RX 590 (it was displayed in "GPU to show") on weekend. Will provide ioreg report then, hope it will help to see the difference between GPUs

hmm, it's strange. You must see it as AMD Graphics or Unknown.
I add debug mode to the app. Please run the app with an argument --debug. It will write a log to the file (as in the previous build).

To run the app with argument you need to run it from Console using this command:
/Applications/Stats.app/Contents/MacOS/Stats --debug.

It will say me why RX 460 still not visible.

[exelban]

Yeap, but replace please /Applications/Stats.app with the last build path.

Oh, I see. It detect both amd cards as the same model name.

Processing AMDRadeonX4000_AMDBaffinGraphicsAccelerator acceletator
Radeon Pro 555X: utilization=0, temperature=57

Processing AMDRadeonX4000_AMDBaffinGraphicsAccelerator acceletator
Radeon Pro 555X: utilization=0, temperature=63

And the second one just rewriting the first one. Give me a few minutes, I will think how it can be fixed)

[cadic]

@exelban yeah, seems the card name is based on it's architecture, not model.

Just plugged RX 590 and it works. The log displays different name for it: AMDRadeonX4000_AMDEllesmereGraphicsAccelerator

RX590 is Polaris 11
555X and RX460 are both Polaris 10

A quick test. Does it show RX 460 properly?

Stats.dmg.zip

[cadic]

@exelban yes!
(Notice that 555X turned into AMD Graphics now)

[exelban]

Nice, nice.
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, I cannot properly detect the model of GPU. But it still better to see AMD graphics than nothing.
This fix will be available in the next release. But you can use this build if you want.

[cadic]

@exelban thank you!

[exelban]

Fixed in the last release.
