Any other Hackintosh Octane X users out there?

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​

5700 XT - 170 OB​

Vega FE - ~161 OB​

Vega 64 -~148 OB​

Vega 56 - ~117 OB​

Vega 48 - 108 OB​

5600M - 108 OB​

5500M - 77 OB​

Vega 20 - ~50 OB​

Intel iris 640 - ~17 OB​

Intel iris 630 - ~15 OB​

Apple A13 - ~15 OB​

​

*dual GPUs on single graphics board (the 415 in the PR and 419 in the blog post are different runs that illustrate the variance noted above). Note that we had referred to this initially in the announcement post as a single slot card, but as some have pointed out, it’s more correct terminology to label this a single ‘board’ graphics card, so as to avoid confusion with measurement of the card’s slot ‘width’ space. We do want to be accurate on every aspect of OctaneBench scoring and categorization.​

Just to be clear, these are still early numbers and have a +/- variance of 7% or so, but one thing that will likely hold is the relative performance in OB between these GPUs :​

I've been working on troubleshooting Cinema 4D Octane based freezes since the day it was released. I'd love to here if there's somebody else out there running Octane X stable on their Hack. Also looking to the future, running multiple AMD cards, etc.

I've played a couple of times with Octane X standalone Enterprise -PR1 and PR1.1- since day one and had no crashes. I'm still waiting for the Modo plugin update. It's been almost a month.

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?

Both. 5700 XT is my primary GPU.

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

Works just fine on my hack. Both GPUs were selected by default in Octane.
