AMD Pro 555X on a MacBook Pro 2018 will work? Do I need Big Sur or should work on Catalina?

Hi - I have a Mac Mini, with Big Sur beta 8 installed, and Octane Standalone is showing "no render GPU's" and will not start rendering. The Octane Devices tab shows an "intel UHD Graphics 630" card. Is someone able to assist please?

Thanks

Intel Skylake GPUs will be supported in Big Sur, but this PR2 version is for Catalina only.

Thanks Beppe. But I am a bit confused - the title of this thread is "Big Sur", but this release only runs on Catalina? I could not get Octane Standalone to render in Catalina on the same Mac Mini (thus the reason I tried Big Sur).

Big Sur version with Intel/Polaris support is on the closed beta channel. The links here in the public forum are for the Catalina version.

Hi

Looks like Dielectric IOR isn't working in the Universal Material with Specular Transmission in Octane X. ORBX Attached.

[edit: sorry about the messy ORBX - direct export from C4D and no clue how to clean it up since I've never used Standalone :D - seems to still show the issue though.)

Can anyone comment on stability? I'm looking at getting a mac workstation after not having one for several years, and I'd love the opportunity to come back but wouldn't if this software runs less stable.
