This is not by any means a comprehensive or scientific performance test, but it is interesting. I used Activity Monitor to see what the GPUs were doing. Duh, of course Phase One optimizes best for their own backs! To my surprise the performance was noticeably better on the IIQ files across the board.

I ran both IQ180 80 MB files and Olympus E-M1 MkII 20 MB files. I also did the Sonnet Breakaway Puck 570 eGPU on the two MacBook Pros. I ran the same files on a 2015 27' Retina iMac, a 2017 15' MacBook Pro and a 2018 15' MacBook Pro and could see with the 4 core 2017 MacBook the eGPU was not at full utilization where it was on the 6 core 2018 MacBook Pro. Exporting and Output Recipes use the GPU, although it seems to be limited by CPU. (Files were imported from the Desktop, not a card since I didn't want to get into USB performance.)Įditing uses the GPU but it's hard to run a repeatable test. It appears that Importing files and building previews doesn't use the GPU other than for screen updates. Initial startup of Capture One is single threaded (1 CPU) I have also submitted a support case for this issue, but wondered if any forum readers have previously dealt with this issue and found an easy answer. What would be the proper way to test to see if Capture One is able to automatically switch to the Pro Vega 20? Questions: What does it take for Capture One to automatically switch to the Pro Vega 20 GPU? Which of these seems likely: The Pro Vega 20 is unneeded for Capture One's best performance on the MacBook Pro, I am not doing anything that requires it, or automatic switching does not work. How I determined that switching is not automatically occurring: Turned on automatic GPU switching and did various edits and preview regeneration in Capture One and did not see any use of Vega 20 GPU. Photos automatically makes use of the Vega 20 GPU, so it seems the issue is related to Capture One, not the GPU. I need to determine the if automatic switching does should work with Capture One and when it should. If automatic graphics switching is turned off, the Vega 20 GPU is used and the Pro Vega 20 GPU monitor frequently spikes to the max (as shown while monitoring GPU history in Activity Monitor). Capture One Pro does not appear to use the late 2018 MacBook Pro's Radeon Pro Vega 20 GPU when automatic graphics switching is selected.
