I have a VR headset, but it hasn't even crossed my mind to check if SteamVR would even work on my Mac.
Apple puts very low-end GPUs in Macs. Most models can't even be upgraded to a GPU that's decent for VR. The base $6000 Mac Pro comes with a $170 GPU! Latest maxed out top-of-the-line MBP has a weaker GPU than the last-gen lower-end GTX 1060.
- Rebelgecko 7y agoThere was a point where it seemed like Apple was going to throw its support behind eGPUs. Unfortunately it looks like they kinda half-assed it (new OS releases don't even work with modern Nvidia GPUs because Apple won't let them update the drivers)
- zten 7y agoMobile GPUs are a sad joke in general. Looking at GPU benchmarking sites shows the Radeon Pro Vega 20 in my MBP as competitive with desktop parts from 2012 or 2013.
