There are pretty significant issues with the METAL driver for 5XXX series in Catalina 10.15.2 when used with Adobe software. It's particularly noticeable with the Mercury GPU Acceleration Engine in AE CC 2020 on many effects. It's a visual bug, not a system crash or similar. You physically have to visually observe the rendering artifacts and issues.
Turning/changing to software only "fixes" the METAL issues, but is really not a solution since it disables METAL within AE.
Noticing this with Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT 8GB in eGPU via MBP16,1.
Also running into the same issue with the MBP16,1 native dGPU 5500M 8GB without any eGPU connected.
I cannot replicate the issues with Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB in Mojave at all. I've tried every way possible.
When can we expect to see a fix for this? The upcoming W5700X is useless for MacPro7,1 if these same issues are present.
