Due to the low combined GPU benchmark, I finally decided to do the modification to activate the SMU firmware in the Radeon Pro VII (now reported as Vega II due to the mod) in my MacPro 5.1. It indeed helped here. But it is still slower than the RX580 ??

I noticed also that the GPU load during the benchmark is that short, that it is not really captured by the activity monitor:

Thus the efficiency to get the work to the GPU and back will have more impact in this benchmark than in one that does extensive GPU computations.

Here a two GPU benchmark with different GPUs  where the performance difference is not that drastic. I put a Radeon RX590 and  the Radeon Pro VII  in my MacPro 5.1. The multiple GPU benchs are not the sum of the single benchs but at least increase (raster) or stay about the better value (combined):

Here the Radeon VII patch is not applied, so the Radeon VII single performance is that of my first post:

This is on a Mac Pro 5.1 2x6 cores @3.06GHz (2x Xeon X5675) and a AMD Radeon Pro VII GPU on MacOS 12.7.6 thanks to OCLP:

 

The RX590 single performance is:

I also tried the Radeon Pro VII as external GPU with the MacBook Pro 13" 2016. It works, but there is the annoying issue, that the internal GPU is used for the single bench (the opposite would make sense and is the interesting test). The Finder setting to prefer the external GPU is ignored by Affinity-bench. If Affinity itself handles it the same, and there is also the combined performance drop, Affinity with a external GPU would not perform as it could.

I’m on iPad mini 6, and I’m getting the mini 7 very soon so will keep you informed of the perf

Here's a screen recoding of the benchmark in action.

Wrong picture, was M1 Max instead of M4 Max
