I have nothing but respect for the people working on the code, but the info and marketing that is put forth about this product blows my mind.

Just had to cosign this. I've been shadowing this forum and thread for a couple years now... my enthusiasm and anticipation has curdled.

has anyone tried the new AMD RX 6800 XT with Octane PR7 yet?

I think it won't work because of the lack of Mac drivers.

ok thanks. Maybe I'll go with AMD RT5700 XT then

Hi,
AMD Big Navi 6800/6900 XT support in Apple Metal driver should be already available in Mac Os 11.3 beta 3, so they should be supported in the upcoming 11.3 stable update.

Thanks beppe, is there a rough estimate of the OB scores on those?

Also, will there be a working bench tool for OS X soon?

Thanks !

Unfortunately it seems impossible to find a Big Navi GPU here in Italy, so I don’t have any direct experience for now.

New OctaneBench supporting both Metal and CUDA is programmed for 2021.1 stable, as far as I know, so we need to wait a little bit more.

If someone with Big Navi GPU and Mac Os 11.3 beta 3 would like to do the following test in Standalone PR7, it would be very useful to have a rough idea of the performance:

Here is what I have found so far:

Not really related but here are my results for the Radeon VII and RX 5700 XT, each and combined.
Mac Os 11.2.2 and Standalone PR7.

Thanks for sharing the result with 5700 XT.
I have added it to the graph:

Any news on PR8? Are we waiting for yet another OS update?
