High Sierra - New graphics Card RX 580 8gb

[barryzimmo]

I was using a Nvidia Geoforce FTX 960 2gb graphics card and after upgrading to High Sierra I was having loads of rendering issues, I even used the script to use the correct working driver.

So I took the plunge and went out today and paid £400 for a MSI Radeon RX 580 8gig graphics card.
The bruce test before took 80secs and with this new card is only 21 seconds so a massive improvement.

HOWEVER, I am still seeing the same issues with FCPX.
I am working on a 3 camera multicam edit and the playback is so slow and choppy.

I have checked that hardware acceleration is on.

Attached is my clover config file, can anyone help me.

I have set this up as IMAC 17.1 on the clover configurator.

I am running the following set up

Mac Os 10.3.3 - FCP 10.4
Skylake i7-6700K 4ghz
16gb ram
Radeon RX 580 8 GB

I just want FCPX to behave normally and not have serious issues when trying to edit footage, as the playback whilst editing is a nightmare.

I had this mac built for me, but I am okay at handling it and working with the edits in clover.

Please can someone help as I am already behind on my clients video and this is driving me mad.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks
Barry

@barryzimmo, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and Graphics Card.
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard (Mobo).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Have done this Brebo, not sure what my motherboard is though as I had this built for me and forgot the details. Will find out though
