iMac 2020 with AMD 5500 XT 8GB GPU: How to mine?!

Post by Lea »

Hi guys,

I'm struggling to get the way to use my MAC`s GPU that came with the computer to mine.
I get a "Not available GPU Mining" on every Miner.

Is this impossible to do? Thanks so much, appreciate everyone who can help!

Unmineable with xmRig: unable to read GPU
Minergate: unable to read GPU

Which miner can read the iMAC GPU included on a Mac Computer?
I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) with an AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB.
