We are expecting to have the full Metal support of Intel/AMD GPUs in the upcoming Mac Os 11 Big Sur, but I’m not expecting great performance from Intel GPUs
AMD GPUs are definitely better, in my opinion.
At the moment, only the following AMD GPUs are supported in OctaneX under Mac Os Catalina 10.15.6:
- Radeon Pro Vega II Duo - 412 OB*
- Radeon Pro Vega II - 206 OB
- Radeon VII - 200 OB
- 5700 XT - 170 OB
- Vega FE - ~161 OB
- Vega 64 -~148 OB
- Vega 56 - ~117 OB
- Vega 48 - 108 OB
- 5600M - 108 OB
- 5500M - 77 OB
- 5300M - ~nb
- Vega 20 - ~50 OB
- WX9100 - ~ nd
So you should need to add one of the supported AMD GPUs in an eGPU box connected via Thunderbolt 3, natively supported in Catalina, in order to be able to use OctaneX on your Mac now, like a Radeon VII or 5700 XT.
I’m using this solution for my iMac 27” 5k 2017, and it is working great!
Here are a couple of eGPU solutions used by other Mac Octane users:
