Just 134 more days till the end of the year, any ETA on XB1 of Octane X?
Please don't have this be a repeat of every other yearly promise of Octane on AMD/Metal.... Please.

It will be ready by EOY, but with the caveat that the public release depends on new driver changes in 10.15.x that are still in development as of now, so those need to be in users’ hands first.

Are we locked into the new Mac Pro or will this work on 2013 Mac pros and other Macs that support metal out of the gate?

Any news regarding this? The release of 10.15 Catalina is pretty close now.

I also would be interested to hear all recent Mac hardware will be supported? Would be nice if the Octane/Mac community (if there is one :) ) gets some nuggets of info.

In case you missed it, a couple of weeks ago, Beppe wrote this:

When it will be ready, we will able to use any kind of AMD/Intel GPU via Apple Metal, without CUDA, and we expect to have a first test release for the end of this year, beginning of the next.


So not just limited to the new AMD GPUs in the new Mac Pro boxes.

We’ve been promised Mac AMD/Mental support since version 3, I’m not getting my hopes up that this will be out within the next 54 days.

Our shop has already begun budgeting for the switch to PC for 2020. It’s a sad day for a self proclaimed Mac fan-boy.
