Slightly offtopic, but I wonder how hard it was to attach eGPU to MacBook Pro? Is there some official support, or was it just a dirty hack?

- timanglade 9y agoNot offtopic at all! Dirty hack for sure. The enclosure I bought was a hack, the drivers were a hack, and there was software on top that was a hack as well. But the developer experience was totally awesome… Almost made the constant graphics crashes worth it. Almost.
- rexreed 9y agoCan you provide some more details on your eGPU hack for those of us who might want to try our hands on that as well?
- timanglade 9y agoNot my work by any means, this is all community-driven, and I think they do as awesome a job as is possible to do, considering the constraints Apple puts in their way.

- astrange 9y agoThere is official support for eGPUs in macOS High Sierra beta. https://developer.apple.com/metal/ https://developer.apple.com/metal/
