Resolve 15.2.1 AMD WX9100

Source: CinemaDNG RAW 3:1 4000x2160p24

Encoding: ProRes 4444 XQ, resulting file size 38GB

AMD 560X: 39m12s (discrete MacBook Pro GPU)

AMD WX9100: 15m46s

2.6X faster! = worth $1500

Curiously, when exporting as ProRes 4444 XQ media info is labelled correctly while using the Rec.2020 colorspace as seen below.

this cannot be said when exporting as H.265 8-bit

Note: all 4GB of VRAM are consumed immediately upon export while only using the built in AMD 560X GPU, appropriate because the WX9100 only shows around a quarter of its 16GB of VRAM being used.

Of note, Handbrake does not utilize the GPU at all, so if you’d didn’t tick the CPU upgrade on your Mac during check out you’re out of luck!
