@Midphase - AMD openGl drivers are full of bugs and it's best to have specific combinations of hardware and drivers tested. i.e. with a AMD7950 OGL viewport selections where unusable a mere 3-4 years ago.

I was under the impression AMD uses OpenCL and that those were pretty good. I dunno, find a buddy with an iMac Pro and ask him/her to install Houdini Apprentice on it to see how it runs.

to be clear MacOS OpenGL is the issue here. AMD OpenCL is perfectly fine afaik. e.g. the Vega in the iMacPro already has a bug that delays viewport de/spliting so that rules out Vega cards for the moment.
