Excellent news!
The guy who runs bcd is an unsung hero, packaging up optimized drivers for Macs that Apple, even with all its resources, does not.
PS thank you mod for not burying this thread - wouldn't have seen this release otherwise (which, for a niche, is the most important iMac Pro news since its release).

Yes it is great he is doing this and deserve a lot of credit. Apple however consistently seem to hold the drivers back in boot camp and I have experienced issues many times. It gives the impression macOS is a lot quicker than windows, which just isn’t the case. I wish they would update them quicker but I have little hope in this, so thanks BCD guy, you are a legend.
I had my iMac pro running windows 10 almost all of today with zero issues and was very fast.
Is there anyone can try this benchmark (FFXV for Windows) on a iMac Pro?

It's simple, just select High Quality, 3840x2160, Fullscreen, then Start to enjoy some gaming scenes, and wait for the result.
I wonder what’s the difference between the Windows bootcamp driver, and the real good AMD driver. Million thanks in advance.

Matt you do a a lot of good work and community is grateful to have you – but I don’t think what you do is sustainable.
Hopefully Apple / AMD step up their efforts so you aren’t spending too much time handling this stuff in future.
Slightly off-topic:
I have the iMac in my sig., I made a Windows 10 bootcamp for it but Apple's bootcamp drivers don't drive the internal sound card. I can, however, get sound out via a USB Audio card; preferably I'd rather use the internal audio chip.
Therefore, here comes the Big Question: Anyone know of an updated AUDIO bootcamp driver for Windows 10?

Thank you very much! The score looks very rational. I bet the graphic was stunning when running this benchmark on a 5K screen (especially the very last scene which has a close up of the food
)So, it's the bootcamp driver make the GPU ident as RX580 with 24GB VRAM?
Anyone still using the Apple driver can post the score for comparison?
