Final Cut Pro X FCPX Graphic Card performance

[gabrielillo97]

Those numbers are Mind Boggling My build with RX580 4G Bruce 5k Test render time is 30 seconds. What mistake I have done. ? All 36 Cores are active.

We are in the same boat, mine is about 34 seconds with the Vega 64. There's gotta be something that keeps the gpu from being utilised in FCP.

Did you do anything special to get full acceleration with Vega? I'm getting very poor performance

Make sure you’re running High Sierra. Also I avoid activating the intel onboard graphics.

I also noticed after installing smcfan or intel power gadget my fps in cinebench dropped about 50%. Avoid installing those apps.

If you’ve installed those apps, only way I know how to fix it is fresh rebuild and do not restore from time machine.

Yes, I'm running High Sierra, I've even tried with 10.13.2 betas and no luck. The other guy who is having issues has a MSI board as well, could that be remotely related?

It shouldn't be. I'm using a Saphire card. Are you benching on a fresh install of High Sierra? That will help determine if apps are messing with the gpu.

Another thing is, make sure you've got the card inserted on the fastest pcie slot.

I'll try reinstalling tomorrow and see how that goes. Thanks!

Not 100% sure if this could be impacting on the benchmark, do you have the integrated intel graphics disabled?

Also I'm using the latest fcpx 10.3.4. Can you confirm if you're using the same version?

Im using LiluGreen and Whatever Kext in /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other. As I checked on Internet Bruce 5k by Radeon RX560 is 38 Seconds. Its a eye watering failure for my build.....

Improved Bruce 5k Timing for RX480 4G is 17 seconds

Fixed Solution is to run Enable Baffin-CUS Script source ::: itsage.com

cd ~/Desktop

chmod +x enable-baffin-CUs.sh

sudo ./enable-baffin-CUs.sh ellesmere 36

I'm not using that stuff. If it helps, you can download my EFI here - EFI.zip
