Hi guys, great job!
I installed win 10 november 2019 drivers
and my imac pro raedon vega 16gb works
300 times better rendering Lumion 10, sooo
thank you!
But, comparing with a windows pc works

Can My imac pro works correctly with 2020 drivers?
And which 2020 drivers is better for this?
Thank u from Barcelona!

Sounds like we are on similar comps. Researching what our best options are, I'm on Vega 64, iMac Pro, 10 Core, 128gb ram

After some research reading through the forums, it looks like January 2020 drivers are NOT the ones to sue with the Vega 64.
The 2020 December ones seem to be good (I think these are the ones under 2020, then at the bottom without Jan on them) and the November Blue Edition.. I'm gonna install the Nov Blue ones right now just to be on the safe side.

Hi! I installed november 2019 drivers (https://mega.nz/#!4YBxVAbY!8KhbaiXC9clbh9i4SczjlCpbn2MXKYQZxM4osaJfuE0) and the iMac pro works much better, but not enough.
Please send me the download link that you found and it works well,
Thank you

Hi! I just got an iMac Pro and want to install Lumion 10 as well. It's horrible with the current bootcamp drivers. Simply unusable. Have you tried the April drivers yet?

I tried getting all 2020 ones to work but could only get November as well. Lumion runs decently well and Destiny 2 I was surprised to see is somewhat playable at 5k and very much great at 2560 so I’m happy enough for now. If Lumion ever adds raytracing I might look at an egpu but for now I’m fine.

Popping in to say that I FINALLY got the latest April Red Drivers installed. You have to use the "old way" iMac Pro install and go through the Device Manager. I found those instructions in the 2020 All Users Red V2 package and just decided to try it with the April Red drivers and it worked!

Thank you for coming back! We have like a good place to reference Vega 64 at lol. Currently I have been on 1/8/2020 for a few weeks, an official driver, untouched, and using an external 2160x1080 monitor with the 5x disabled (stays cooler while gaming) I get weird things sometimes like, FPS drop "surges" with cuts in audio at the same time. So what you did for your install, was nothing with safe mode at all right, or DDU? You just simply manually update over top the previous driver, and restart after? I'm going to try this I think.

The audio issues are most likely related to the T2 chip, which can only be resolved on Apple's end. Do not update to an unofficial driver from here without uninstalling your current one via DDU. The only exception I know that works for sure without DDU is Boot Camp 6.1.10 via Apple Software Update with the older official driver installed or just with Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

goldmaster- DDU has actually had some unfortunate results in the past for me on iMac Pro. The only successful ways I have had personally, have been using the alternate instructions for the iMac Pro, where you go into Device Manager, and update manually by choosing your own file, and rebooting after, no DDU used.
So having been on official for a while, and getting those random issues I mentioned, I tinkered a little. I believe my audio cut issues and random spikes were do to a mixed combination of Bluetooth headphones, Gaming Mode, and CPU throttling. I ran full wired last night, and also changed in my "Power Options" section, the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies to 70% and 99% instead of 100%/100% on Performance Mode which was basically running my SPU at 3.9ghz at all times and 99% prevents that turbo boost, and turned off Gaming mode.
Then, coming from official drivers from 1/8/20, last night, I manually updated the driver to Adrenalin 2020 All Users Red Edition, right over top of my official, with a new Driver date signed December. After a reboot, I installed April 2020 Red Edition (Best FPS Version) right over top of that.
Everything appears to be smooth. However, I do still have 1 random crash issue, about 15 minutes into a VR session, the headset freezes, and my computer goes black. After around 1 minute, without touching anything, the monitor comes back to life, along with the headset (back on it's dashboard though) and my apps restart, and have no more issues the rest of the session (I did a 3 hour stream without issue, and then a separate 2 more hours just in VRC, both times everything ran better than ever after crashing without restart) I did notice better FPS, and I think the combination of that, along with the CPU frequency adjustments, really help out. I just need to figure out that crash, which may be a leftover from the issues I was already having, and may be hardware related.. I tend to get "USB controller resource" notifications from time to time prior to tinkering yesterday.
So it appears decent so far with the exception of that crash. The only thing I have changed in Radeon settings is turning on the HBCC segment (allotting 32GB of 128GB) but Pre-Crash, I can open settings, post-crash, it is a transparent window. I can go to task manager, and end the process, and then it continues working again. So it could possibly be driver related, and maybe the crash fixes whatever that issue is? I don't know. It's weird.
Watching performance last night while recording and in VR, my CPU stayed around 34%, memory around 15% and GPU around 63% which seems to be a bit lower than it was so I think we are getting somewhere.
