This mining video was done in Windows Boot Camp using Nice Hash. Nice Hash benchmarked SRBMiner to have the highest hashrate for AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo.

CPU Monero Average hashrate (XMRig 6.8.1): 12 kH/s

Averages based on the video seen:
Average Wall Wattage Draw Mac Pro: 600 - 700

Earnings depend on how you are paid per pool. Nice Hash pays via BTC. With how volatile BTC currency is, your earnings may vary widely.
