Topic: VDJ 2023 on Mac 2019 with AMD GPU
djsh69PRO InfinityMember since 2018
Hello,

a question out of curiosity :

I have a 16'' MacPro (2019) with an 2.3 Ghz 8 Core i9 and a AMD Radeon pro 5500.

Why do you not support RealTime Stems Separation on this GPU?
Is a GTX 1050 really faster? Are AMDs GPU missing some features NVidias cards have?

best regards
Stephan

Just untick Don't use GPU on the stems Fix setting

It's not quick though as I have the same machine

I understand that the CPU is not fast enough.
My question is more why Virtual DJ can not use the AMD GPU.

You can use it with the option above but as I said even with the GPU it's slow.

on mac it doesn't matter if you have nvidia or amd, apple doesn't give enough hardware access to applications to be able to use it for stems2.0 anyway.
we can only use M1 chipsets.

(I meant mac running macos. if you bootcamp to windows then we can use both nvidia or amd cards without problems)

The limited access might be the problem and explain my observations:
During Offline Stems Processing my MacBook 16’‘ took 60% CPU load but only 30% of GPU load
