Anybody know what the state of drivers is 11.1? Just upgraded and Safari has already crashed on me playing a video, and so did Octane in C4D (but, hey, that's what Octane always does. Waiting for the new R7 build).

Unfortunately, it seems there’s no driver for 6900 XT yet.
I just got a 6900 XT reference model and installed it in my Mac Pro 2019.

Tried with Activity Monitor, Octane X PR7 and DaVinci Resolve.
Big Sur 11.1 will not recognize it. Sad.

Have you tried the test version of 11.2?

Personally I look forward to AMD's announcement of 6800 series Pro versions. Around that time Apple probably will announce their hardware, and turn on the switch in the driver.

Looks promising to be supported in Big Sur

No. I don’t have an access for Big Sur beta build.


BTW, after a bit of a hassle, Bootcamp Win 10 recognized the 6900XT.
Followed Apple procedure, I needed to uninstall the driver for MPX and remove the module itself, and finally Win 10 recognized the card. I’m not familiar with PCs, so it took me a lot of time to figure it out.

Shame it's not in Big Sur 11.1 yet, keen to see what it's like on a Mac!

10900K is not a Xeon CPU, and you wouldn't use OpenCore with a factory Mac...

Actually a lot of people do use OpenCore with the 1,1-5,1 Mac Pros. I did, added hardware accelerated encode/decode and a boot screen on my RX580 amongst other things.
