Obviously using older GPU drivers, notice Vulkan APU version is only 1.0. Good to hear that the audio issues have been fixed though. Would you do a benchmark with 3dMark Timespy, also someone with Vega 64?

if someone can choose to download the package only first before installing it so they can send it to me to have a look at, it will benefit everyone for future updates.

Tried multiple Internet connections and devices. |

Would you do a benchmark with 3dMark Timespy, also someone with Vega 64? Seems like it might be based on 18.2.1 (Feb 2018) driver, which is the most recent stable release on AMD's website. IIUC, Vulkan 1.1 support was added in the 8.2.3 driver. |

Yes, seems like it. Nice to see Apple showing some Bootcamp support for iMac Pro. I'm swamped with work right now, but I'll test the new driver in a couple of days or so. I really hope Apple also improved access to the SMC, we'll see...

Time Spy results (3DMark Basic Edition): i.imgur.com/hzJrJjY.jpgAre there any other 3DMark tests that you want before I uninstall it? |

Thanks Besweet, no that's fine. I just installed the Bootcamp update myself, and did a comparison:
3DMark Basic Edition Time Spy - using 8 core CPU and Vega Pro 64:
Adrenaline 18.3.4: Total score: 6628 - Graphics score: 6302 - CPU score: 9386
Bootcamp update: Total score: 6536 - Graphics score: 6204 - CPU score: 9384
Seems like the 580 Pro drivers are a good match for our Vega Pro cards in the iMac Pro. Haven't tested if there is any added functionality to the official Vega Pro drivers yet, though.
Hopefully Mat will be able to use the official GPU driver update from Apple, to make even better driver updates, with better compatibility for the iMac Pro.

It makes gaming practically unplayable, so it'd be an interesting comparison. |

Too late, already installed the update.  To be honest I don't see the point, as the initial Bootcamp driver is some unfinished, beta version. Good news for iMac Pro owners! GPU gaming temps are considerably lower with the official new Bootcamp update, vs. previous 580 Pro-based drivers. Hopefully Mat can incorporate proper Vega Pro support in his future Bootcamp drivers. I've only tested a little bit, but in a certain battle arena in Doom the GPU previously got to about 75C (fan at 1300rpm) using 18.3.4, it now stayed at 60C. However Kingdom Come Deliverance runs poorer with the older official driver, probably from being a brand new game, missing the latest driver optimisations. According to MSI Afterburner, driver version is 17.1.2. (17.12) |

When I boot the iMac Pro into safe mode it doesn't not recognize the Magic Mouse or keyboard - how am I supposed to install the drivers then?
