Hey guys,

I've been noticing glitches in Sonoma (.3 latest and even previous had these issues) when I watch lets say a H264/H265 video in Safari (HBO Max) or watching an H265 video in IINA or VLC as well as TV app.

Things slow down sometimes especially in TV app and theres a ton of glitches.

Generally I know that glitches means a bad card, but this issue only started happening later versions of Ventura and into Sonoma.

I also dual boot into Windows 11, and there's zero glitches there even when I run high demanding AAA games at 4k.

I submitted multiple bug reports to Apple and hopefully they look into it. Intel is on the way out, I'm worried that Apple will never fix this issue. :(

Interesting, I haven't had any glitches in mine and i watch a lot of H.264 media. Cant say I've tried much h265 though.
 
Over in the 3D world there are known issues with Metal and the compiler on Sonoma with AMD/Intel Macs. It slows performance to a crawl amongst other things. Apparently these issues are due to be resolved with Sonoma 14.4 and 3.5.24 of Redshift.

Wondering if there's some link somewhere with what your having?

I'm just gonna chalk this one up as a loss since Apple is moving away from Intel. Oh well.

That's a possibility, it seems like driver related issues on a fresh boot on macOS Sonoma
 
Going to ask -- are you also running an MPX module in addition to your 6900xt?

Only asking because I experienced a lot of issues when I ran my Vega II MPX in addition to my RX-6800XT, and only after removing it and using only my RX-6800XT did my issues go away completely.

Of course, this was happening to me on earlier versions of Ventura (13.1 through 13.3), and even in Windows 10 and 11, but it was my MPX module that was causing the problems and not macOS, Windows or my GPU. I know because I even sent my card back to Gigabyte to try to RMA it, but they tested it and determined it was fine, so they sent it back to me -- only then did I have the realization to remove the MPX module and lo and behold, my issues were resolved...

If you're NOT running an MPX module in addition to, then disregard everything I said above.

Don't have any MPX modules, only 6900XT (OEM).

This started happening with Big Sur into Ventura.
