Performance improvement for AMD GPUs?

Will we see any performance improvement this time around for AMD GPU's like we saw for Nvidia CUDA with v14? This is especially important to Mac users since Apple is favoring AMD. If we could get the kind of performance that we see in FCPX...

Using Amd Radeon Pro duo, all works very well, also Fusion run great.

But I m on windows 10...

I'm looking for performance with an AMD that would be equivalent to CUDA. Comparing an Nvidia card to a similar AMD card, the Nvidia is still faster because of CUDA. BMD did something to improve CUDA performance in 14. Looking for some similar treatment with AMD for 15.

Make sure you select Metal in Preferences. You should see improvements.

Hi Rohit,

I definitely am noticing Metal to be better than OpenCL, but it's still nowhere near CUDA. Please let me know if the render times I benchmarked below make sense. This is with DaVinci Resolve 15 (14 was similar), MacOS 10.13.4, Hackintosh with 4930K 6-core 4.5GHZ overclock 64GB RAM. I understand you don't support Hackintosh systems, so please just let me know if the times are where they should be based on computer speed and GPU.

The grade is 2 nodes. First node is primary corrections only to lift/gamma/gain, contrast, and saturation. Second node is temporal noise reduction set to 3 frames, best, and ranging around 15-20 on luma and chroma.

GH5 10bit H264 4K DCI -> ProResHQ 4K DCI, 1:53 clip
EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Gaming CUDA: 3:53 at 11.5fps
Vega Frontier Edition OpenCL: 8:18 at 5-5.5fps
Vega Frontier Edition Metal: 6:26 at 7fps

ProRes 4444 2K -> ProResHQ 4K DCI, 4:30 clip
EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Gaming CUDA: 7:42 at 14fps
Vega Frontier Edition OpenCL: 18:50 at 5-5.5fps
Vega Frontier Edition Metal: 13:05 at 8fps

ProResHQ 4K -> ProResHQ 4K DCI, 2:00 clip
EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Gaming CUDA: 3:34 at 13.5fps
Vega Frontier Edition OpenCL: 8:30 at 5.5-6 fps
Vega Frontier Edition Metal: 5:45 at 8fps

4K R3D -> ProResHQ 4K DCI, 8:50 clip
EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Gaming CUDA: 21:46 at 9.5-10fps
Vega Frontier Edition OpenCL: About an hour 4.5-5fps
Vega Frontier Edition Metal: about 29 minutes at 6.5-7fps

Thank you!

Any idea of the render performance relative to a single gtx 1080 ti?

Mmm not really in Davinci.. generally nvidia works well in almost all situation.
The only test we did is in our render 3d software (blender, cinema or xsi) where the Radeon Pro duo go faster then a geforce titan X + geforce 770, and the huge ram is a nice to have.

AMD VEGA is lightning fast in Resolve considering the price
