Bought this for my Hackintosh I built about 2 years ago with an i7-8700k Coffee Lake CPU. I mostly use this for rendering video projects from final cut and occasionally gaming on few Mac titles available. It runs like a dream, and I'm able to multi-task while exporting videos! (shadow & rise of tomb raider running almost at full setting, although my monitor was fixed at 1080/60fps so I won't know for sure). Very occasionally the computer froze while gaming to reboot because of the heat, but I suspect I need to add water cooling down the road to address that (as I'm a musician and need my computer to be quieter than using fans to record in my studio).
My one complaint was that the metal frame on the Port-side came a little bent so I first couldn't secure both screws to my desktop. I had to flatten it using my screwdriver before it became straight enough to snugly fit in the case, but I suspect that's an isolated issue for me.
So I guess with the new Radeon Pro VII announced today, top-end users might prefer that instead, but with an estimated retail price of around $1.8k, maybe some of you can find a compromise here.
Overall a very nice card, and especially for Hackintosh users, since it's plug-and-play. Mojave and Catalina runs fine for me, which is an improvement from the previous RT 5700xt I had that needed a bit of clover tweaking before it was recognized.
