Hi, Premiere and Media Encoder do not handle dual GPU. I am getting constant crashes when I use Metal GPU Acceleration. I pulled one of the GPU out and I can use Metal again which is nice but it's a shame not to utilize both GPU. I would like to continue using Mac instead of full-time Windows. Is this an Adobe compatilbility problem or do I need to do something to use dual GPU? Thanks

I am running a lot of Maxon Red Giant plugins, Premiere Pro 22.5 on OS 12.3 Monterey, dual AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 8 GB,

Premiere has typically (in my understanding) been limited to using one GPU, and ... does not typically work at all with a pair of GPUs in an SLI config. I've heard of people having twin GPUs, and Premiere simply using the 'first' one on the board.

Is your system a "Hackintosh"? If so, that may be the cause of your problems. You see, Apple officially supports macOS installs only on Apple-branded systems - and nothing else.

It is a MacPro 6,1 that I added 2 AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 8 GB,which are on the recommended GPU on Adobe's requirements page.
