I don't knowIf you spoof ID to a lower card do you still get the extra performance?

I went from RX6800XT to the RX6950XT and there is no difference in performance. I actually feel that my 6800XT performed better in MacOSAs you are only spoofing the device ID, not changing the VBIOS, you should get the performance available from the card as allowed by the drivers in use.
An RX6950 XT spoofing the ID from an RX6900 XT would not make any difference, as the two cards are nearly identical bar the power requirements.
With an RX6650 XT spoofed as an RX6600 XT you might increase memory speed and possibly see a larger power draw, but you would be hard pressed to notice either in real world usage.
To be honest the Revised AMD 'XX50' cards are just a filler from AMD to kid people in to thinking they are getting something new, when it is just a rehash of the same card with a slight increase in memory speed on two of the cards. The Stream Processors and quantity of Memory has remained the same in all three revised cards. So as I see things they are basically a gimmick to fill the time between the RX6000 and RX7000 series release.
Hi, is there any follow-up to this comment? Do you still feel that the 6800 XT performed better? ...just evaluating my options: 6800, 6800 XT, 6900 XT & 6950 XT. At the moment, 6950 XT seems to be available for a cheaper price than the 6900 XT.I went from RX6800XT to the RX6950XT and there is no difference in performance.

If you can get the 6800XT, stick with that. It works much better and works natively.Hi, is there any follow-up to this comment?

Thank you for your advice. I think I will follow it. It’s just that the price isn’t convenient in terms of $ vs performance.If you can get the 6800XT, stick with that. It works much better and works natively.
Well, I might wait a little bit. Thank you for your opinionI think it’s likely that Apple will support the new Radeon RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX (NAVI 3x) ‘soon’. I have no insider information of course. This is just speculation based on lack of Apple Silicon successor to Mac Pro this year, and historical record. When the 6800/6900 were released, Apple introduced the driver into macOS before releasing a 6800/6900 add-on card for Mac Pro.
I hope it will be as you say. But if they stop selling the latest Mac on Intel in their store next year, I doubt they will want to support it with new RX 7xxxx graphics cards.I think it’s likely that Apple will support the new Radeon RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX (NAVI 3x) ‘soon’.
