So to conclude - does that mean that Titan X Pascal (2016) and 1080 Ti are now on par on FXP 10.3.3?

I can confirm on Resolve, there is virtually no difference. 1080 Ti works well and performance is similar to a Titan X Pascal (2016). We have 2 cMPs at work, both are equipped with 1 x 1080 Ti FE, no problem with Adobe and Resolve.

I am currently using a 980 Ti, just saw a used EVGA 1080 Ti FE for around $613 on Amazon. If FCP 10.3.3 is optimized for Pascal, then I think I will get a 1080 Ti for Resolve and FCP, I can throw the 980 Ti on eBay to recoup some $$$

Yes, they are on par. 10.3.4 just came last week.

What I gave the info was that Barefeat's result in their first test when Nvidia's Pascal web driver firstly available was 2 days before the 10.3.3 update. FCP 10.3.3 with Pascal has improved from 50s seconds to 30s in BruceX.

Thanks Prince134!

I was working on a cMP 5,1 with a Gigabyte 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G. I have noticed that the GPU clock speed is lower on macOS than on Windows.

For example, GPU clock speed on Windows is 1582 MHz (silent mode) but it is showing 1265 MHz on OSX on both CUDA-Z and Luxmark.

Is Pascal driver for macOS lowering down the GPU clock?

EDIT - By the way, the card that I am currently using is same as the one that AndreeOnline tested, please see post#8. Can someone with a 1080 Ti confirm whether the GPU clock speed is showing up correctly on Luxmark/CUDA-Z?

^^^^My clock (MVC flashed GTX 1080) reads correctly in Cuda-Z, 1835MHz, but reads incorrectly in LuxMark, 1316MHz. OceanWave also reads incorrectly at 1316MHz.

Driver has to support GPU Boost 2.0 for Maxwell and 3.0 for Pascal.

Since the Nvidia web drivers are officially only optimised for Kepler that means the latest versions of GPU Boost don't exist.
 
My experience with Titan X pascal, the BruceX is like 30-32 seconds. 1080 Ti should be close. I tested with 2x x5690, 96GB. Did you have single CPU?
[doublepost=1494023993][/doublepost]Yes it was 50+ seconds before FCP 10.3.3. If you update your final cut pro to 10.3.3 you should see it runs BruceX at 30 seconds. The FXP 10.3.3 came out right after Nvidia provides the web driver for Pascal.

Did you clear FCPX cache, render files, exc?

That doesn't change the result.

I don't think the Pascal driver lowers the clock. Why should it? Software can report wrong reading as you said Cuda-Z and Luxmark do not read same clock. Mine is founder edition, same as you, CUDA-Z and Luxmark read different clock.
 
In fact the CUDA Z in mac shows higher memory speed between device and host..
Exactly double of that in CUDA Z in windows 10.

It might, and in doubt, why not? Just to try to keep the same environment and settings throughout the tests :)

ps. I just read the guide for BruceX test recommended to clear the render files
