Oh cool, how does rendering with dual GPUs work? I'm looking at getting a second 5700 XT for that purpose.

I also didn't do a clean install, just replaced the EFI. Sorry about the flashing coming back, hope you can keep making progress.

I've since switched my build over to OpenCore and it's now running stable. I think there still might need to be some optimizing I need to do, but I'm getting closer. Were you using Octane with your 5700XT or Radeon VII?

Just following up again – I just did an overnight render with the GPU load at or near 100% for ~6 hours and this morning the render was complete and computer was still running. So I'm gonna say this issue is solved! Solution: Switch from Clover to OpenCore. As for specific OpenCore settings...

Hey everybody, I just a very promising test after switching over to Open Core this morning. The build went about an hour of GPU rendering in Cinema 4D + Octane Render and didn't crash. I plan to run some more hardcore stress tests this evening. I don't know much about open core, but share my...

Thanks for sharing, makes me feel less like I'm totally insane. I'm in the process of testing with OpenCore as it seems like I've pretty much hit a dead end here. Will follow up at some point.

After years of promises and missed deadlines, on July 20th, 2020 a beta MacOS version of the GPU render Octane was finally released. Here's a list of the current supported GPUs and their Octane Benchmark scores: Radeon Pro Vega II Duo - 412 OB* Radeon Pro Vega II - 206 OB Radeon VII - 200 OB...

I've updated to 19G2021, native MacOS update process went smooth. Sadly crashes are still taking place. Here's the screenshoot of the system.log from when the most recent crash took place. (highlighted the DumpGPURestart that corresponded with the system time when my computer locked up.)...

About to do some testing now, just creating a full drive backup first. Here's how I track down my crashes, keep the clock open and not the exact time HH:MM:SS that the crash takes places (easy for me because it freezes and locks up until I restart). One the system restarts, open console, on the...

Thanks for sharing! Will try that update and share if it effects my crashes here on the thread. Will have to wait until this weekend, as I'm mid-project now.

Thanks for the tip, I just switched my SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 tested with the same rendering scenes that had given me trouble in the past and the "(com.apple.DumpGPURestart)" still take place. Are there any Navi cards that are more stable at this point? Or are they all kind of iffy until Big Sur...

@slim.jim Thank you for the reply! I wasn't aware that was a known issue. Would you say any further time troubleshooting would be wasted? Sounds like the only solution would be to wait for an update from Apple.

Could you explain exactly how to add an "explicit declaration saying injectATI is false". I have the Inject ATI unchecked, but sounds like there's a bootflag or something I need to add in order to set it as false? Thanks

Still working on this issue. After learning that OSX has a Console the errors associated with the freezes/crashes are: Aug 11 09:13:41 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 7 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 3 seconds. Aug 11 09:13:46 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]...

My bad, updated the hardware specs. I am running the 5700 XT. Working on adding bios screenshots now.
