iMac Pro + Bootcamp

Hi, https://www.bootcampdrivers.com released an unofficial graphics driver for iMac Pro,I think it's better than the original one.

I have not filed a bug regarding this. You should.

I've ran into the same problem, the performance is nowhere near what my (now already sold) 3 year old iMac was capable of. I've sent them an email as well, so far I've only received an automatic ticket number. Quite disappointing indeed; if this does not get resolved quickly I might return the iMac Pro within my 14 day period as I do consider this a pretty big oversight or lack of judgement on Apple's side. They should have enough leverage over AMD to make sure this kind of stuff is all taken care of and properly tested before release. On an unrelated note: I have not been able to get the audio drivers to work on the iMac Pro under Windows as well.

Sure – but seriously... it does seem like a no-brainer to demand that AMD – while making a *custom product only for the iMac Pro" – to also spend a few moments to actually make a driver for it that will work on Windows via bootcamp. I can't imagine it would take AMD devs much time and effort to do so.

The person who runs this site - https://www.bootcampdrivers.com/ - matd2100 - can provide better insight than my speculations on efforts required to develop/modify/update/maintain such drivers. I personally have a preference for nVidia GPUs.

I’ve received a response from AMD:

“Response and Service Request History:

Thank you for the email.

I am sorry but we do not have much information regarding Bootcamp support for Radeon Pro Vega 64 graphic card.

I request you to subscribe to the newsletter so that you can receive latest updates on the new product releases.

Thank you for contacting AMD.”

Pretty useless. How have you guys communicated with AMD on this?

Hi, thanks for the update. I've logged a bug report as well, no response yet. I'll update the thread here when I get a response. Good to know AMD is at least aware of the problem. I understand it's a niche group of users that requires Windows to run properly on their iMac Pro, but I still find it quite a big oversight that this wasn't completed as part of the process of integrating the new Radeon in the iMac Pro and releasing it to the public.

Thanks Loner T I actually tried but it said I didn't have a valid Apple ID. Do I need a developer ID to post a bug report or something? Thanks

Use the same Apple ID you use to post discussions on ASC on https://developer.apple.com/ as well.

Thanks, yep I used this ID but it said it wasn't valid so I'm not sure. I'll try again tomorrow

You may need to 'sign-up' using the same ID, before you can use it.

I'd like to file a bug report on this. Has anyone already done this and if so, can you post it here so we can use it?

Thanks. 😎
