iMac 5k, AMD (Radeon R9 M290), not using GPU

Post by playergiro »

I just bought Apple's latest iMac (the iMac 5K Retina, with GPU: AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 MB). My OS is 10.10.5, using Neat Video 4.0.6 in Adobe Premiere CC 2015.0.1 .

Neat Video is not able to use the GPU, and this is sad because I did my homework and only bought this machine because I saw "Added support for some new AMD GPUs based on Pitcairn, Tahiti and Hawaii chip series, for example, R9 270, R9 280, R9 290 etc" in the release notes for Neat Video 3.6 at https://www.neatvideo.com/news.html.

Am I missing something? Should I install an "Omega" driver or something?

Here's the output from NeatBench:

Thanks for the help!

So the link you sent me prints 4.0.5, not 4.0.6 as you said, but here's the output, doesn't seem to be different to me.
