A request: if anyone here has a Vega 64, on a 390 board (preferably the same one I have, or compatible) and is using Mojave, AND is getting 6 second BruceX times in FCPX, would you be so kind as to post your config.plist? I can't seem to break the 17 second barrier.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not sure if this is helpful at all, but just sharing my own experiences. I didn't seem to notice a big chance in performance in Bruce X going from 10.4.3 to 4.5, my bruce x is currently 13.87 on 10.4.5.
Running an 8700k OC'd to 5.0ghz and a Vega 64 with a powerplay table OC'd a bit.

Hey guys, just updating my experience here, just upgraded to 10.4.6 and noticed about a half second to second quicker bruce x speed, which is definitely within the margin of error, but did not about a 5000-8000 point upgrade in Geekbench gpu score. Upgraded to a Radeon VII that just came in the mail and I've dropped my Bruce X from 13.40s on Vega 64 10.4.6 to 9.80s with a VII on 10.4.6

I think the problem is 10.14.5 and 10.14.6: Results drop significantly after upgrading from 10.14.3
and in my case restored by downgrading to 10.14.4
I found your thread the other night, after upgrading from 10.14.3 to 10.14.6 and then pulling many hairs out when results in Geekbench 4 dropped to 130k from 180k.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/compare/4564606?baseline=4564603
Installing 10.14 over the top restores the speed to 184k, although the fan just runs.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/compute/compare/4564606?baseline=4568326
As noted at the beginning, still works after 10.14.4 combo update.
However, not interested in doing the 10.14.5 (if some other brave soul wants to test, its fine, I am on an NVME and since my hack only has one PCIe, I can’t test). The odd part is that this path 10.14 with combo pack 10.14.4 leaves the fans spinning faster, than the quiet of the 10.14.3 direct install. I am planning to try a 10.14.3 install again over the top.
I have a Vega 64 Sapphire HB2
currently in cMP 4,1-5,1 (w/ Crucial 1tb NVME and 96gb 1333 ram)
Already was sad that the Vega64 does better on my hack
(but need the 96g Ram of the cMP; and the extra PCIe for the NVMe)
Vega on the cMP takes a hit for being PCIe 2.0 instead of 3.0 // and for the 1600mhz ram
this can be seen in results of Hack vs 10.13.3

To control for upgrade to new Bootrom 140.0.0.0 vs 144.0.0.0
Retested in High Sierra…
New bootrom, seems to be a bit better; and HS has a bit of an edge over Mojave.
However, 187k vs 185k ~ same good results much better than the 10.14.6 130k.
Should note, also tried replacing the AMD10000Controller.kext (disabling SIP, and then sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/ && sudo kextcache -u /) on 10.14.6 before doing the install of 10.14, and couldn't get it to recognize the Vega64. Putting back in the old trusty Nvidia GeForce GT 120; allowed booting 10.14.6 with the kext from 10.14.3 to see the Vega wasn't loading a driver.
To rollback, booted to 10.13.6 on separate SSD, and did the install of Mojave 10.14 again on crucial NVME.

FWIW, with today's update to FCPX 10.4.7, I'm getting a BruceX of 12 seconds. I'm gonna quit worrying about it.
