That's the expected behaviour.
For FCPX exporting, it's a mix load of compute and hardware decoding / encoding. The overall utilisation rate can fluctuate a lot.

Thanks, let's see how this configuration will behave when the monitor 4k arrives, now I m on an apple display 20
One thing: If I had to put the rx580 Gpu that I haven't sold yet, can I do it plug and play or have to change something?
Just to make a comparison.
Thanks.
It seems not because of Mojave vs Catalina. I just check my old post, the Radeon VII ident wasn't there.
Activate AMD hardware acceleration
Just tested both 10.14.6 (18G3020) and 10.15.3 (19D76), nothing changed for OpenCore method. All H264, HEVC, hardware encode, hardware decode, DRM streaming still work as expected. [N.B. As precaution, my config.plist in post #594 does NOT provide OS update in Catalina. You can either update...

It should be the latest OpenCore (settings) to make that happen.
Does not work for my card. Is it really relevant? This piece of software is so misleading sometimes... That other method you proposed is more reliable for determining HEVC capabilities
OpenGL Driver Monitor is definitely a much better method to determine if HWAccel is really working.
I just wonder why my GPU ident suddenly show up in VideoProc.
Please try
1) mount the EFI partition
2) completely remove the OC folder
3) reboot (make sure Catalina still working)
4) reset NVRAM (WARNING: This will remove the no compat check boot argument. You MUST have your method to recover from this situation)
5) boot recovery (or your Dosdude Catalina installer)
6) disable SIP
7) re-do that 13 steps
Is there something specific I have to do to successfully boot from NVME with the Boot Picker?
OpenCore works great booting into my cloned drive (plugged into a SATA drive bay) but when I select my NVME installation it hangs on this screen. Any help? Thanks.

Thanks.
The text is gone now however I’m still stuck at the Apple logo without a progress bar unable to boot into macOS on my NVME drive.
Confirmed working in any slot just as long as -wegtree is used.
I tried to Google how to do this (I'm a complete newbie at advanced stuff like this) but I couldn't find out how to generate the boot log file.
I'm wondering if perhaps it's an issue with my particular NVME drive. I did find information about some NVME drive not sending the right mount instructions to OC (or something like that).
You need to use the debug build of OC, then if you have the correct options in the config.plist you will get a generated log file into the EFI partition that holds the OC install.
I tried what I'll call the "kext method" - I installed Lilu and WhateverGreen on my MacPro5,1 with a single X5680, Vega 56 and Mojave 10.14.6 installed. On a test video export in DaVinci Resolve "Free" (11 minute 1080p 60fps h.264 video clip with a few subtitles and basic transitions) render time was cut from 24 minutes to 4 minutes. That's an insane improvement for a few minutes of effort. Thanks for this tip. Whoever discovered this 'hack' deserves a medal.
I should note that I am NOT using OpenCore. I used hackintoshes for a number of years, and they left a bad taste in my mouth. Too many incompatibilites, weird bugs and 'Play and Pray' OS X updates. Is there any advantage to using the OpenCore method when what I've got works so well?

Yes. You can get HEVC encoding as well + DRM playback.
Hackintosh and cMP are completely different. We can install and run macOS on cMP natively. No compatibility issue.
If you have Hackintosh experience, you can open my shared config.plist and have a look. Apart from injecting the board-id or load Lilu / WEG to activate HWAccel, there is no extra setting touched.
I tested both Clover and OpenCore on my cMP. Very different result.
Clover mess up all PCIe info even I didn't inject anything.
But OpenCore just like transparent if I don't change any setting.
I use OpenCore on my cMP for few months now. Extremely happy with the stability / compatibility. Not a single issue yet.
Also, apart from DRM / HEVC hardware encode, you will also get boot screen for your Vega56 via OpenCore.
Post #594 1->12 completed (mojave 10.14.6, SIPs disabled) ; however step 13) blessing after terminal entry ->
sudo bless --mount /Volumes/EFI --setBoot --file /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi
password request - then I get -> Can't statfs /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi
Volume EFI on /dev/disk0s1 mounted - afik my new EFI directory is correct - see attachment
what is the correct terminal response after step 13)? thanks...
