I get what you’re saying but I don’t think there was snark. Just the fact that a 4090 without a computer attached won’t work. It’s not like you can buy apple silicon without a Mac attached.

You can just get a pci enclosure, and use the hardware.. Attaching it to a VM makes sense bc of drivers etc.

  eGPUs don't work with Apple Silicon Macs, only Intel. We ran into a lot of the limitations early on, and this is the only reason we still have 2018 Mac Minis and 2019 Mac Book Pros. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363 Five years, and still no solution. And somehow they're spinning memory bandwidth as some sort of prescient act of Apple genius for AI. It's insulting.

    Hmm... you're right.. I tried searching for ANY support... but there's really nothing yet.

      You can imagine our confusion and surprise when we got our first M1s and had to lose a few displays and our eGPUs. Apple made a strange choice with their hardware that effectively pushed our development to Linux and Windows. If Macs didn't make such nice front ends, they almost wouldn't have a place at all.
