I completely understand this. The only reason I did try this was because tedyun mentioned that he enabled the IGPU in the BIOS as well as qbe saying that for the best performance use iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS, IGPU only as headless. Sorry for the confusion.

Are you talking about setting my 5700 XT as default in FCPX, or in the BIOS? In the end I have enabled DGPU in the bios and FCPX has by default used the 5700 XT in the preferences. I was just trying to find the optimal performance for rendering/transcoding by either using the SMBIOS...

Sorry for the late response. I tried a variation of setups over the weekend and this is what I found. I changed the SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 and enabled iGPU in my motherboards bios. Whilst I did see that my DGPU was utilized more in FCPX I didn’t notice much of a difference in overall reduction of...

Thank you so much for your replies. I will play around with those options this weekend and post my results here so they can hopefully benefit others.

Hello, I have been trying to find out if my GPU should be utilised when Final Cut X renders, transcodes or exports a project. I have watched the activity monitor and the GPU does not look like it is being used and the processor seems to be doing all the work. However, when I use DaVinci Resolve...

Thank you very much for helping. THIS DID WORK and I am now able to export .H264 from final cut. The difference in the render was unbelievably fast. I used to have a GTX 1070 and now have the RX Vega 64. The GTX 1070 would take almost more than double the amount of time to render when doing the...

Please can someone assist me with the following. I have made a thread about this but thought this would be a better place to find help. I am running Mojave on an i7 6700, MSI H170 Gaming M3, Asus Strix RX Vega 64. Everything seems to be running well and I have not had any issues up till now...

Please can someone assist me with the following. I am running Mojave on an i7 6700, MSI H170 Gaming M3, Asus Strix RX Vega 64. Everything seems to be running well and I have not had any issues up till now. This is my first attempt at exporting a .H264 file through Final Cut. When I do so I get...

I recently switched over to the ASUS Strix RX Vega 64 and am having a strange time with getting Mojave to boot. I have two installation of Mojave. One a 1TB HDD and another on a Samsung Evo 960 M.2 SSD. Both installations went perfectly and I managed to get everything setup (Kexts, config)...

I recently updated my Hackintosh to 10.13.2 and I must admit it seems to be the most stable build I have managed to achieve so far. Only problem I have at the moment is there is no slider visible in the System Preferences/Energy Saver to put the computer to sleep. The option was there in...

I am sorry we can't help you any further. In both my case and UtterDisbelief we had an issue with an HFS driver on Windows. Once I reinstalled Windows the corrupt drive issue never reappeared.

Thank you very much for getting back to me on your experience with this. I think because I can't find the cause of it and after having re-installed Sierra and still having the corrupt drive issues, that the problem is with Win10. I will reinstall Win10 this time and also forgo the use of the HFS...

Hi guys, Ok to give some context. I have 5 internal hard drives! 1-MacOS 2-Win10 3-Scratch Disk 1 4-Scratch Disk 2 5-Scratch Disk 3 Not to long ago I was editing in Premiere Pro on Sierra 12.5 and the system crashed whilst doing an export. I attempted the export again and it crashed the...

This also worked for in the end. No more lagging and my Final Cut was not crashing anymore.

Ok well I updated my smBIOS to a iMac17,1 and after limited testing, have found that it is not laggy at all. Just remember to use the link below when updating you smBIOS to the iMac17,1 otherwise you might get a black screen during the booting up of your OS. AGDPfix -...
