  • Video: iMac Pro vs 2013 Mac Pro (Part 4) - 3D rendering and thermals

    Just an FYI ...

    iMac Pro + Sonnet 550/RX-580 eGPU, mining ethereum crypto ... standard software, no betas.  

    Using OS X, getting only 7.5 Mh/s with internal Vega 56 and only 4.5 Mh/s using eGPU for a combined total of ~12 Mh/s (US$1.50 per day).  Using Boot Camp, getting 21 Mh/s with internal Vega 56 and 17 Mh/s using eGPU for a combined total of ~38 Mh/s (US$4.72 per day).  No beta software and no overclocking.  Seems like Apple needs to get to work updating the MacOS Radeon drivers as I am sure the speed disparity is being felt in professional apps as well ... and, I hate using Windows!  

    Internal Vega hovered around 80C, eGPU 74C.  Absolutely ZERO noise from the iMac Pro even after several hours ... this thing is FREAKIN' QUIET!

    PS - I did this just to see if it would work ... I'm not setting up an iMac Pro mining operation.

    PPS - Still working on getting HTC Vive and WMR to work in Boot Camp on iMac Pro (Both work on MBP w/ eGPU).  Both headsets are recognized, tracked, and controllers work ... unfortunately, both screens remain black.  Back to work ...
