Looks like the Fury needs more than PCI-E 8x to stretch it's legs (was expecting around 28fps)...I imagine it'll be even worse with Vega in Crossfire.

Still 22fps for $500 (pair of furys) isn't bad.

[fartech]

You might try disabling crossfire, and re-running the benchmark. Crossfire is great for gaming, but might hurt your bench #'s for OpenCL. Although splitting the pci-E lane's down to 4 per GPU processor may also be whats slowing you down.

[Nologic]

Thanks for trying to lend a helping hand.

However the post above the Crossfire one, is the same system with only one card in, which gives 16fps by it's self, when using full PCI-E 16x.

Now when both cards are in the system, each only does 14fps...so a drop of 2fps...this I'm chalking up to the PCI-E 16x now being split to only 8x per GPU.

When combined they manage 22fps...so a loss of 6fps do to overhead of crossfire..and a loss of 4fps since both cards only have 8x each rather than 16x.

So a total loss of 10fps...out of a potential 32fps, do to overhead & bandwidth starvation...that is nearly 30% just gone.

That said I spent $500 on my CPU and it only got 12fps...I spent $500 on a pair of Fury's & got 22fps...which is nearly double the performance.

Who knows maybe performance will improve as BIOS revisions roll out for Ryzen...still I'm fairly happy with the performance I'm getting out of my getto-box.

[fartech]

It's a common misconception that OpenCL requires the cards be in crossfire mode to get both working. This is only true for gaming, but not for applications that use a plugin like Neat. I know I tried it with crossfire on and my FPS went to crap as well.

[Nologic]

Disabling Crossfire in the Global settings made no marked difference with the Fury's in my system.

It was certainly worth a try, and something others may want to check out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[Tim]

Nologic, thank you for sharing the results.

The difference in single-GPU performance between 1-GPU and 2-GPU setups is likely caused by the fact that you are reducing the number of PCIe lanes allocated per each GPU. Neat Video pumps a lot of data via PCIe and any decrease in throughput will impact the overall performance.

Some Intel CPUs have 40 PCIe lanes which allows simultaneous transfers to two PCIe3 x16 GPUs at full speed. Ryzen CPUs seem to have up to 24 lanes, which is only enough for transferring data to one GPU at full speed (or even to both GPUs at reduced rates). Do you have any BIOS settings controlling the allocation of PCIe lanes to GPUs (perhaps you can do 16+8 instead of 8+8)?

[Nologic]

Hi Tim,

Nah there isn't anything I can do really about the PCI-E stuff...AMD just went cheap with the PCI-E lanes...and well the Memory Controller.

Which sucks since I would have coughed up an extra $100 for a CPU with 40 lanes & a more well rounded memory controller.

That said I hope we see some other benches with SLI or Crossfire on Intel. Would be nice to see what kind of overhead they are experiencing.

I should pull out two of my sticks of ram to see what effect memory speed makes...since what I have will run @ 3200 if only two sticks are in the board...frigging cheap ass controller.

[ELinder]

I just purchased NeatVideo and installed it and NeatBench on my new iMac Pro. I'm a bit surprised that the combination of CPU and GPU isn't markedly higher than either just the CPU or just the GPU. Is that normal, or a case of the hardware bing fairly new and drivers not yet fully mature?

Hello Erich,

The GPU drivers of these new models of GPUs coming with new iMacs are not very efficient as compared with the Windows versions of the drivers for the same GPUs. The same GPUs show better results in Windows according to our observations so far. We hope that the Mac versions of the drivers will be gradually improved by Apple.

Regarding the performance of the combination of CPU and GPU, that is not abnormal to see such an imperfect addition of speeds of two computing devices. I recommend to run the Optimize Settings test in Neat Video Preferences. The results shown there may be slightly different because the host application may work with somewhat different parameters (frame size, bitdepth, radius) and in those conditions the speeds may add up differently.

Thank you,
Vlad

Thanks for the info, Vlad. I'm not surprised about the drivers being slightly slower, Apple tends to lean more toward stability rather than outright speed. I did run the optimization in Final Cut X, and the results were fairly close showing 15 cores+GPU to be optimum at 21.5fps.

Liking the results of NeatVideo a lot so far. It does wonders for VHS tapes converted to DVDs in the old stand alone machines. Converting and deinterlacing them in Handbrake and then into FCX with NeatVideo.

Those iMac Pro results are still pretty impressive. For comparison here is the results from my MacBook Pro 2017, i7 2.8 GHz.
