I'm definitely going to be trying a beta version of this on my mac and will report back here. There seems to be little known (aside from a few folks showing their renders on youtube) at this point. But, I'm definitely curious about capability and stability with Octane X on new macs. Seems like new frontiers these days, who know also how these new RTX 30's series will work! Will Nvidia leave macs in the dust as usual?

Curious about this too! Seems like other render engines like redshift too are working on a mac/metal version of their gpu render support. Interesting times ahead for sure! :) Looking forward to your reports on the beta!

That's awesome. Do let us know how it works. We're curious to see what sort of performance advantage/regression metal will bring as well!

Definitely will try to share videos of real time rendering and how the viewport does.
