AMD versus NVIDIA GPUs running OpenCL under High Sierra
October 12th, 2017, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist
Now that High Sierra (macOS 10.13) NVIDIA web drivers are available for NVIDIA Pascal GPUs, it is time to see how they compare to two of the latest AMD GPUs running OpenCL intensive apps under macOS High Sierra.
Install macOS 10.15 Catalina. After downloading macOS 10.15 Catalina, the installer will begin on its own and launch automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade and start using macOS Catalina. When prompted, select the internal hard drive to upgrade the Mac or an external hard drive to create an external macOS drive.

DaVinci Resolve - Using popular Candle 1080p project, we measured the speed of playback while rendering Noise Reduction Node (1NR) on-the-fly. GPU Processing mode was set to OpenCL for all GPUs. (HIGHER frames per second = FASTER)
LuxMark 3 OpenCL Benchmark- Using the LuxBall default scene, it averages the samples per second over a two minute period. (HIGHER KSamples per second = FASTER)
Geekbench 4 OpenCL GPU Compute Test - From image processing to computer vision to number crunching, it stresses your GPU using relevant and complex challenges using OpenCL. (HIGHEST Score = FASTEST)
WHAT DID WE LEARN? AMD has raised its game with the release of the Vega series of GPUs. As you can see from the graph, the RX Vega 64's performance falls between the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and 1080 Ti. That makes it serious contender for apps rendering with OpenCL API.
Notice we included the 'last of the true Mac Edition' GPUs (Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 and EVGA GeForce GTX 680) for perspective on how good the newer GPUs are by comparison.
As we indicated in our earlier article, the RX Vega 64 is not ready for prime time under macOS. Though OpenCL apps and Metal benchmarks ran okay, there were serious issues with OpenGL apps. Speaking of Metal, here's a bonus graph:
