Hiya, I'm having trouble identifying whether QuickSync is activated and working on my system. I ran the BruceX test but it mostly seems to end around 12~13 seconds, with a system that I believe should be capable of delivering the benchmark sub-10 seconds?
All tested with iMac19,1 SMBIOS
0x3E910003
0x3E920003
0x3E980003
My BIOS is set to Primary: PCI-E / 64MB Shared (tried 256MB, same result) / MultiMonitor Enabled.
9900K @ 5.0GHz All-Core
Kext are all up to date with KextUpdater.app.
I have attached my (stripped) Clover folder, in the hope that someone may be able to point out what I'm missing. I suppose that with the Vega64 8GB + QuickSync BruceX should complete under 10 seconds? I see people with a RX580
finishing sub-10sec. Is there a better test to see if QuickSync is enabled?
I also tried disabling the iGPU in the BIOS (but leaving Clover set up for iGPU + dGPU), and the score was around the same with 12 seconds. Note that even when disabled, it still shows up as a usable device in IOReg, Geekbench, etc., probably cause of the Clover entries(?). (update: This turned out to be because MultiMonitor was disabled, but there was still VRAM allocated. Setting to Auto resolves issue, but score remains identical).
What seems to be working:
iGPU is found as an entry in About This Mac > System Profiler > PCI, and in IOReg (attached)
dGPU is found as an entry in About This Mac > System Profiler > Graphics, and in IOReg
VideoProc shows acceleration. GeekBench4.2.2 shows both GPU's.
What doesn't seem to be working:
iGPU power indication (green line) in latest Intel Power Gadget;
QuickSync acceleration

CaseySJ - I figured this would be the place to ask, rather than your Gigabyte Designare thread, or a new one; appreciate the great work!
@rj510 - I tried using your guidelines, but it didn't get me there, yet. Perhaps you can see a flaw?
