I have done a few projects in Redshift on my Ryzentosh with a Vega 64. It is about the best setup you will get at the minute for GPU rendering outside of Windows(apart form Octane which I don't have). However, have you tried Corona renderer? It is Cpu based but is super fast on my 3950x, comparable with Redshift and Octane, it is my render engine of choice.But this graphic is not just for gamers, for me it would be perfect for 3D to be able to speed up the rendering of Octane or Redshift, which now work well on mac with betas. So many of you are going to ask: but why don't you just go back to PC?
I tried again, but Windows sucks, we waste more time trying to get apps up and running than working, all work time slows down 10% compared to Mac, if we win with the GPU we lose out on workflow. It starts to be complicated to have the best of 2 worlds on one machine (Hackintosh).
I tried going over to Windows with my 6900xt and it was awful, just awful after using OS X for 18 years. Hackintosh has been great for me, a couple of functions don't work in AE/Premiere and it hates Mp4s but you should not be using them anyway really. Resolve is zippy and stable too and for CPU rendering in C4D you would have to spend 15k on an equivalent Mac.
Let's just keep our finger crossed Apple support one last generation of AMD cards then it will be back to real Macs for me when I upgrade again(Unfortunately).
