Which is where macOS' new support for eGPU enclosures comes into play.
- jamesgeck0 9y agoCurrent eGPU enclosure technology is for powering up a machine with integrated graphics, not keeping up with top of the line cards. Thunderbolt 3 just isn't fast enough for that to be feasible. The bottleneck is such that there's already no point in putting a high end card like the GTX 1080 Ti in an eGPU enclosure (Source: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/08/laptop-external-graphics-card-review/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/08/laptop-external-grap... ).
- snuxoll 9y agoIf you're worried about raw graphics throughput, sure. For most GPGPU use cases you've still got enough bandwidth.
