Hi,
i tried to read lots of posts here but I still don't get it
I have a i9 9900k with Vega 64 and I'd like to have the best performance in video encoding/playback.
I tried both smbios:
iMac19,1
Pros:
Cons:
- encoding really fast with hardware acceleration
- CPU usage max 50%.
iMacPro1,1
- Vega used only 30%
- i dont see iGPU in Activity Monitor
- MineCraft doesn't see the GPU
- Handbrake also doesn't see the GPU, only CPU encoding
Pros:
Cons:
- encoding really fast with hardware acceleration, maybe a little better than 19,1
- CPU usage max 20%
- Vega usage 95%
So... It really doesn't change a lot. Do you have suggestions?
- Xeon instead 9900k, can be a problem?
- MineCraft doesn't see the GPU (like 19,1)
- Handbrake also doesn't see the GPU, only CPU encoding (like 19,1)
PS
Videoproc in both smbios has Hardware acceleration. In 19,1 shows Intel UHD Graphics 630 and in iMacPro1,1 shows N/A, but hardware acceleration always works!
Thanks
Michel
Could you help me with my Vega 64. I’ve tried tons of stuff I guess I just don’t understand. My smbios is MacPro6,1. If I change that to iMacPro1,1 that will help. Everything works on my hackintosh except hardware acceleration. I am running Big Sur 11.6. Ryzen 2700x G.Skill trident 3200, Asus Strix 64 with a X470 Crosshair VIIHi,

Thank, I changed my smbios from MacPro6,1 to iMacPro1,1 and everything works great now. Kinda strange but I’m going to keep testing. I didn’t have to add anything else to my config.plist.hi,
sorry but I use iMac19,1 smbios now because I also had problems with Big Sur.
There was something strange with the hardware acceleration. it worked, but i had freeze or encoding files were not perfect: i had also this strange problem: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gpu-in-activity-monitor.312856/
Now with iMac19,1 works and i have all i need.
