The new card has its own fan, the old one didn't, so I was afraid that the new card would make the machine a lot louder, but I haven't noticed any significant difference. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is a beast, however, and delivers plenty of horsepower for improving activities like photo and video editing, as well as giving you additional display output options and. So far the new card seems to be working fine.

I bought this card because the original NVIDIA 7300 card died.

Not a big problem: if you look at the connector at the end of the cable, it's pretty easy to figure out what the corresponding connector on the motherboard looks like. On my machine, the connectors are higher up and a bit more to the left than shown in the drawing.

These chassis provide at least 85 watts of charging power, making them ideal for use with 15-inch MacBook Pro models.ĥ. Playback of HDCP-protected content from iTunes and some streaming services is not supported on displays attached to Radeon 560-based eGPUs. macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later don't support eGPUs in Windows using Boot Camp or when your Mac is in macOS Recovery or installing system updates.Ĥ. If you're using a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2016 or 2017, always plug eGPUs and other high-performance devices into the left-hand ports for maximum data throughput.ģ. After you log in and see the macOS Desktop, you can unplug the display from Mac mini and connect it to your eGPU.Ģ. If you have a Mac mini (2018) with FileVault turned on, make sure to connect your primary display directly to Mac mini during startup. Because of this deep system integration, only graphics cards that use the same GPU architecture as those built into Mac products are supported in macOS.ġ.

The GPU drivers delivered with macOS are also designed to enable a high quality, high performance experience when using an eGPU, as described in the list of recommended eGPU chassis and graphics card configurations below. Aftermarket GPU drivers delivered by third parties are not compatible with macOS. In real-world applications, this missing core hardly makes a differenceit averages about 3 fewer frames per second in World of Warcraft on medium settings, for instancebut it could affect your workflow if you use your computer a lot. In order to deliver the best possible customer experience, GPU drivers need to be engineered, integrated, tested, and delivered with each version of macOS. The base 24-inch iMac has one fewer graphics processing core than the Mac Mini (7 cores versus 8 cores). This deep integration also enables optimal battery life while providing for greater system performance and stability.Īpple develops, integrates, and supports macOS GPU drivers to ensure there are consistent GPU capabilities across all Mac products, including rich APIs like Metal, Core Animation, Core Image, and Core ML.
