Update: See post #186.
Hi, that review says that the Asus XG Station Pro will support Vega 56 under Windows. We already know that because Asus'
s web site expressly says so, although see @rmdeluca's cautions about power in post #83.
Asus Support currently takes the view that its enclosure does
not support Vega 56 or 64 under Mac OS. That is also implicit in Asus's web site, which does not include Vega 56 or 64 in its list of supported GPUs for Mac OS.
However, Asus Support, and the Asus web site,
may be relying on information that predates Apple's support for Vega 56 and 64 GPUs. See post #86 and #105.
I have been in correspondence with Asus Support about this since 14 November. So far, I have dealt with three line support staff, three supervisors and, as of this morning, someone from Corporate Customer Care, which I assume is distinct from regular customer care. The current situation is that Asus Support is awaiting clarification from its engineers, which it told me yesterday it would pass on in 48-72 hours.
I have asked two questions: first, whether the XG Station Pro supports Vega 56 and 64 under Mac OS given that Apple now does; and secondly, if the answer is that it doesn't, why it supports these GPUs under Windows but not Mac OS.

That's a very nice article that I hadn't seen before. Thanks for sharing.
Is that dual AC a show off prototype only or Asus is actually realising it?
That article is about Windows, not Mac OS. Please see the above post. Asus Support's position, pending clarification from Asus engineers, is that the XG Station Pro does not support the Vega 56 and 64 GPUs under Mac OS.
The dual power arrangement was a prototype. As far as I know, Asus has not made it available for sale.
