Below are the specs:
Laptop: Acer Predator Helios 500 (Ryzen)
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 (Desktop). - Works
GPU: Radeon RX Vega 56. (Same SKU as Imac Pro 2017) - Works
Ram: 80GB DDR4 at 1866 Mhz. (Currently). Note: Will tune it to increase speed - Works
HHD: Kingston: 2TB NVM - Works
Motherboard: Modified desktop AM4 B450
Audio: Realtek - Works
Bluetooth: Doesn't work, works with Asus dongle
Keyboard: Worked one time, but seem to have smbios problem, set as Imac pro 1,1
Screen: 144z at 1080P, Works at full speed
Camera: Works
Ports: DP, HDMI, USB3, USBC all work.
What doesn't work works:
- Keyboard - Possibly smbios issue. VoodooPs2 and dependency didn't fix it under Imac Pro 1,1
- Internal bluetooth doesn't work
When booting have the annoyance that once booting it requires to unplug the mouse or it will stall to boot the OS. But it always boots when doing so still works, but not ideal.
**This one is quite annoying. The RX Vega 56 performance is not good when comparing it to Windows. While that is. to be expected the discrepancy is not normal. Firstly, the mac reads the Vega 56 as Vega 64, doubt that is a problem.
in Geekbench 5 the difference are drastic.
WINDOWS: OpenCL: 62k to 64k
MACOS Mojave: OpenCL: 25k-28k
The Ryzen CPU does behave as expected.
Really will like to know if there are ways to improve the performance of the Radeon.
