[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

Because you quoted my post, only I am notified. So it's better to state the other users' names explicitly in the post.

Thanks, @CaseySJ - try again.

Hi all,

In the spirit of chasing down possibilities a couple of days ago I turned off two BIOS settings that I'd forgotten that I'd fiddled with - CPU Upgrade (now set to Default) and Enhanced Multi-Core Performance (Disabled). So far, subjectively, my system is more stable. Would you guys mind telling me what settings you're running (if you're on a Z390)? Possible I've got a dodgy 9900K, rather than a dodgy motherboard...

Cheers

Is this an error message you're seeing in Windows? If so, please post a screenshot.

Has the original firmware been flashed back to the Winbond chip? Did you encounter any difficulty flashing original one back?
 
ja das

not problem mit spi 341
Does Thunderbolt work in macOS?

We can check if Thunderbolt is okay in macOS by running IORegistryExplorer then scrolling down to RP05 and posting a screenshot.

If it's okay in Mac, then we can check Windows. But please also post screenshot of error in Windows.
 
Yes, Thunderbolt is back to normal again. In Windows, please install the Thunderbolt driver here:

I made a new project, 4K60, on DR 16.2.3, exporting only the .mov to MP4 H264, using 'use hardware acceleration if available', with 'automatic' quality. It took 35 seconds. I'm on 64GB RAM, iMacPro1,1, iGPU disabled in BIOS.

Really interested to see if there's any difference, @verendus!

Thanks for taking the time to run the test. Just ran the same test with the same setting. I am on 32GB, iMac19,1, iGPU headless (0x3E980003), DR16.2.3.

21 seconds. That is roughly 60% (or 40% increase in speed) of using dGPU. The only difference would be my Radeon VII vs your Vega 64, but as I said, the majority of encoding work in our case is carried out by the CPU (QuickSync vs intel cores). I'd be interested in seeing how T2 chip in new MBP or iMac might fare in this test.

For those who use FCPX, the export was 22 seconds with the same setting.

So the moral of the story: If you can, enable iGPU headless mode and use iMac19,1 to maximize your export. QuickSync DOES make a big difference in encoding performance in DR and FCPX.
