I got an eGPU back in 2018 and could never get it to work. To the point that it soured me from doing it again.
These days for heavy duty work I just offload to the cloud. This all feels like NVidia trying to be relevant versus ARM.

- EagnaIonat 7mo agoThanks for the correction. I guess my PTSD on trying to get this running before is bias'ing my response.
- ffsm8 7mo agoYeh, Nvidia couldn't give less of a fuck about consumers. And egpu is inherently only consumer targeted.
- bigyabai 7mo agoFWIW Nvidia already supports UNIX OSes and AArch64 with their drivers. CUDA and CUDNN could be working overnight if Apple signed the drivers.
