Octane 2020 & IMacs - after some clarity please

Hello,
I'm super keen to hook into Octane, but I do use an iMac.
Could someone please link or let me know how Octane 2020 works with Mac's? I've looked around, and all I can find is older posts saying ti will, but am yet to find one with clear specs/requirements now it's released.

I'm running a 2019 iMac (40gb memory and Radeon Pro 580x 8GB graphics)
I would test myself before subscribing, but the plugin I need is for C4D, and that's not in the listed supported trial plugins for it.

Thank you in advance for your help all.
Cal

Octane 2020.1 currently works on Macs that can run NVIDIA drivers, which means up through OS 10.13, High Sierra, but no later. Octane X for AMD based Macs is currently in closed Beta testing, and final specifications have not been published. You can get some idea, though, based on the beta testing hardware requirements:

Your Mac must have an integrated Intel or AMD GPU (or external AMD e-GPU) supported by the current Octane X build. If you have a 2019 or later iMacPro, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro - or a Radeon VII eGPU - you are covered.

Otherwise, please look up what architecture your GPU has and make sure it is on this list below before proceeding with the sign up form:

Intel Graphics SkyLake: INTEL_SKL_GT2_7, INTEL_SKL_GT3_10
Intel Graphics KabyLake: INTEL_KBL_GT2_2, INTEL_KBL_GT3_6, INTEL_KBL_GT3_1
AMD Vega: AMD_GFX9_VEGA10_P, AMD_GFX9_VEGA12_P, AMD_GFX9_VEGA20_P
AMD Navi: AMD_GFX10_NAVI14_M
