I don't understand that graph... When I run the Geekbench 4 Metal benchmark, my score is nothing like those.

For reference, the chart posted by Michelinu is from barefeats.com.
This is my score with RX580.
Maybe with macOS Mojave also Nvidia GPUs will run better. Maybe I'll borrow a GTX 1070 from one of my friends once it will be released for public.
Apple is moving many parts of FCPX to Metal, and most likely 100% Metal by 10.15 (2019).
Apple has always been about open standards like OpenGL and OpenCL, the latter which they helped develop.
Once the next major update to macOS moves 100% Metal, companies like Adobe HAVE to move to 100% Metal (which they do currently support, but performance is subpar).
CUDA on the other hand will be depreciated, because no current Mac has an NVIDIA GPU. The last NVIDIA GPU capable Mac was from 2014 (MacBook Pro 15"). Also Apple doesn't officially support NVIDIA eGPUs.
Apple is clearly forcing OpenCL and CUDA (which hasn't been working properly for years now anyway) out the door from macOS, which I am ok with, as long as Metal is taken seriously, I'm happy with that.
Companies like OToy are building Octane to work with Metal soon, and it will be here in about 9 months from now. I'm curious to see how things progress in this area.
Also regarding NVIDIA vs AMD...AMD has always had better compute performance in general and NVIDIA had better overall 3D performance fine tuned for gaming. OpenCL performance with NVIDIA has always been subpar. CUDA on the other hand has always been a performance king, but many companies don't want to tie themselves into NVIDIAs ecosystem like that, and Apple and AMD have always relied on open standards like OpenCL.
Since Metal is not an open standard I think that Apple can still co-operate with Nvidia to get Metal work fine with their cards. Nvidia will be still able to improve CUDA for Windows and will gain market to the detriment of AMD.
@pastrychef.. Nevermind, thats another random internet website mislead information as we used always to see when it come to Nvidia vs AMD thing, probably website payed by Nvidia or simply done by an Nvidia fanboy.
it shoes Vega 64 4144 score lmao, meanwhile my Vega 64 is over 200K.
Actually from now on as 10.14 welling to support only Metal, the GTX cards should be used only for gaming on Windows there where they should be, never anywhere else.
I think that if thanks to Metal the Nvidia GPUs will reach AMD performance in FCPX they'll be a good compromise. Unfortunately AMD cards are very hot and Vega are still expensive. Nvidia GTX are still the best choice for gaming but in this moment they're useless for FCPX.
