I recently acquired a Mac Pro 2019 along with an AMD Radeon RX 6900XT to enhance my graphic design setup. My previous machine, a 2011 cMP, lacked the AVX2 instruction set, which has become increasingly necessary for Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Currently, I have the new setup on my bench for testing and optimization.
My goal is to resolve any performance glitches before integrating it into my office workspace. Here’s a quick overview of my system specifications:
– Mac Pro 2019 with a 16-Core Intel Xeon W CPU
– 192GB RAM
– Storage provided by a Sonnet M.2 4×4 Silent PCI card, featuring:
– 2TB Samsung 990 PRO SSD (NVMe)
– 4TB RAID0 configuration with 2 x 2TB Samsung PRO NVMe SSDs
– Operating System: macOS Sequoia 15.5
– GPU1: AMD Radeon Pro 580X (8GB)
– GPU2: AMD Radeon RX 6900XT
I have already conducted various performance tests on both GPUs. The storage tests have yielded positive results, while some GPU benchmarks indicate a remarkable performance leap from the MPX 580 to the RX 6900XT.
In my search for further testing tools, I came across references to MetalBench in various forum discussions. After locating it on GitHub, I downloaded the project folder. However, I am uncertain about how to run it, as there are no clear instructions provided.
If anyone could guide me on how to proceed with MetalBench, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
