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

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

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.
