Apple just needs to put a decent GPU in their computer to start with. For the amount of people who rely in macOS the price of adding a full fat GPU will not affect the target audience. Apple needs to stop making deals with AMD to deliberately make their GPUs for Macs as bad as possible.
I've watched a few of your videos, and have now just subscribed. I do a lot of video work (editing, motions graphics, visual effects, and post audio work), and really enjoy your unbiased, in-depth comparisons in hardware when it comes to content creation. In my early years of college, I was using a mac for all of my video work. After a while it was very evident that the Macintosh was not able to keep up with my demands, and the price per performance just wasn't there for me, so I switched to a custom built PC that outperforms almost every Mac that Apple sells; and for a fraction of the cost. Again, I really enjoy your videos, and look forward to your next! Cheers
Loving the background colors, makes the bokeh a lot more interesting to look at. Also, very nice and detailed comparison. It's always nice to see someone with objective conclusions 👍👍👍
You can see at 0:41, my Sys Profiler says the same thing, but it's definitely not working. It's necessary to play around with some kexts when using the RX480 to get Metal support to work. I tried to do something similar with the NVIDIA cards and it didn't work. I wonder if the drivers override it.
Would be great to do a new version of this video with all the latest software updates etc. I'm still looking at an eGPU for my 2013 Mac Pro - I know it has the thunderbolt 2 but I have the d500s...
My MacBook Pro is my gaming PC through Boot Camp, and I use an external monitor. You haven't convinced me that an external GPU is not the best thing for me, but I haven't chosen yet and will certainly rewatch and reconsider before I invest. Thank you for the video.
If your machine will boot into Windows with an eGPU, it's not a bad option-driver problems aren't so much of a hassle-however, you'll still get throttled performance. A Ryzen 5 or i5 build wouldn't add much cost and would benefit heaps from additional performance.
Hey Snazzy. A belated update.. your eGPU series inspired me to upgrade my 2012 Mac Pro. I upgraded the CPUs to dual Xeon 3.46GHz and put a 1080Ti in it. and I must say i am having a hard time believing it's not "close to" the top of the line (real) mac in 2017. Heaven score: 90.2fps (rad!) and 2270. Cinebench Open GL: 60 (meh) CPU score: 1620(bonk!) You should do a video on teaching old macs new tricks. Better than a doorstop which is what a lot of these mac pros have become, and yet... 1620 cinebench / 2270 heaven... nothing to sneeze at. Make a video? PLEAZZZE. #staySnazzy
Thank you for this video, Snazzy Labs. I've been looking to extend the use of my 2013 15" MBP Retina with an eGPU for 4K editing in FCPX w/AMD RX580.. as a way to hold out for what ARM/silicon can do when it makes it to MBP. Curious what your thoughts are on this?
I just stumbled on your channel. I am not a Mac user anymore. It was the first computer I learned on. We were an Apple affiliated school. This was a great video though. I hope Apple changes to AMD for their next Pro series. The Ryzen is an amazing CPU for decoding and price.
Great video Quin. I like that you keep recommending Hackintosh. I couldn't agree more. The performance is just there and you get so much more bang for your buck. Oh, and did we mention expandability. Anyway, thank you for another great video. Stay Snazzy!
Hackintosh aren't perfect either. I think the best combo is an iMac or Apple desktop and a separate gaming PC. Best of both worlds-but it's cost prohibitive for some.
Thanks for testing the new 1080 cards on the mac! I know egpu's are still iffy but have you heard of this Bizonbox 3? Its like an external gpu enclosure that's thunderbolt 3 compatible with macs? I wonder if it is any good with the new pascal cards. Review it for us if you get the chance!
Thunderbolt 3 only works on Thunderbolt 3 Macs-so the new 2016 MacBook and that's it. The BizonBox 3 is the same as the Akitio Node or Razer Core. All TB3 PCIe GPU enclosures. :)
Hi, Snazzy! Can a mid-2011 iMac be GPU upgraded? I've seen some forums saying that YES, it can... Some say I'd lose the boot screen though. The question is, Could I get some newer mac compatible mxm-a GPU off another computer? Hope you answer this. Keep up with the good job.
Remember the patent Apple got about a year ago with a display with a built GPU? Im thinking the next Apple Cinema Display with have an EGPU built in and will work over one cable. Hence why they havent given any support for current egpu solutions.
Question if I may, have you ever had any problems because of creating video about hackintosh? I noticed that you avoid showing screen capture form your hMac. Thanx a lot for great video.
Here is the question, while your results stated that with an rx480 single gpu was only 15% exporting time then OEM-Mac Pro. Which gpus do you have in your Macpro D300, D500 or D700). Cause I do believe that if you were testing with the Dual D700, then for the individuals that has the D300s then it might be worth to consider the rx480 update.
It was 15% faster. I have the 12-core CPU but still the old D300 GPU. The D700 are really hard to get a hold of, and they're prohibitively expensive. I don't wanna spend $1,200 on a 4-year-old machine that will be replaced next year, but you're right. The D700 would get mighty close to the RX480 in performance (or so I presume).
I have the 10-core and the CPUs makes a huge difference. When exporting, FCPX does take an advantage of all core and threads, per the CPU readings. Im curious if we you can provide the file you were exporting. I wanna see how my dual RX480 par against your test.
Soo Snazzy do you need the thunderbolt box/cable w psu to use the 480 with a hackintosh ? Also, have you tried or are you aware of the caveats existing with a 570/580 ?
Great video, thanks! Which GPU would you recommend for an older Mac Pro (5,1 2010). I mainly use it for Excel but also do a little photo and video editing.
Hey man, you make great videos. Thanks for the quality content as always, I'm excited every time I see one of your uploads on my subscriptions tab. Keep it up, I hope your subscriber-base grows.
I'm sad as I sit here with my Akitio Node and I'm picking up a GTX 1060 tomorrow morning hoping that I can get some performance with this mac. Would I be better off going for a 2016 MacBook Pro for video editing?
Hey it’s been a while since u released that video :) are there any news on eGPU for MacBooks ? Like any cool solutions or experiences? I d love to see a new video about that 😁👌🏻
I guess the only "all Apple" option here is to get the classic tower Mac Pro and put a GPU in it. I did that with a GTX 970 in a mid 2010 model and it works reliably. But not eGPU though.
Hey, I'm really new to these "Hackintoshs". What are your actual components? I want to build a dual boot system (macOS, Windows 10), there I can do also updates without to pray every time the system is still working after. And thanks for your videos! I like to watch them every time.
He's already made an in-depth video about his hackintosh. If you want to build one yourself you should look up a list of parts that are "most" compatible with Mac OS.
Holy fast response! :D Just checked that side already. I think I will stick to the "Buyer's Guide". But I just asked myself if there are "the best components" because the list seems to(o) be really long.
You really are convincing me to build a Hackintosh as I can't stand to give Apple any more money that their machines are not worth anymore. Would you do a video tutorial like you did for the silent build about the most powerful hackintosh buildable at this moment in time? tonymac is a great website, but before I commit to buy pieces and learn how to put them together, it would be great to have an honest and genuine opinion from you. Cheers !
The reason why 980ti is faster is probably because it has more CUDA cores instead of higher clock.Pascal architecture is highly optimized for gaming but maybe not the case in terms of computing. 980ti is still a super good card for computing. And yes, Mac webdriver from NV is something that works...but not good, no matter which card you throw in your system will be treated as a reference card. Like my 980ti WaterForce, it boosts up to 1.418Ghz on Windows while only 1.16 on Mac, not to mention Metal and Mac is still betaish for gaming and Mac simply doesn't and maybe never will support Direct X and Vulkan.
Will running any Radeon card via eGPU enclosure work with crossfire to allow the internal monitor to run at higher framerate rather than requiring an external monitor?
I really wish Apple would support EGPUs and realize that high-end graphics cards are important. I much, much prefer macOS to Windows but Apple seems to have contempt for high-end graphics.
Is there an update to this old video? Has it become any easier via any updated/upgraded eGPU hardware model experiences to use these on older TB 2.0 Macs?
Didn't the TB2 Macs with two ports have full speed to both? In theory, couldn't a box use both TB2 ports? Might have to get around fine timing synchronization or something I guess, but if they could do that, TB2 could come around TB3 speed with two ports. Or TB3 itself could use more than one port.
I read somewhere that it simply won't work at such data speeds / volumes. The compiler won't be able to handle the flow and there will be too much data corruption.
May I ask about the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (Polaris) 32gb VRAM GPU... Will we need to wait for some kind of drivers or will it work natively with the 2013 Mac Pro as you mentioned the RX480 did? I'm solely interested in using it for video editing on Premiere (no gaming at all) on MacOS... just wondering if this is a killer, bug free option I should wait for knowing full well that it is Thunderbolt 2 limited on the TrashcanPro or will there be minimal difference between this and the RX480 as eGPU's on the 2013 Mac Pro? Thanks so much!!! Nickolas
is there anyway you can make your timeline(s) for Premiere and FCPX available? I'd like to test my own 2016 MacBook Pro and see where it falls amidst these other cards.
Really? Thanks! I was pretty disappointed with the weird AF breathing in the a-roll. I also shot a lot of it in 1080p on accident and had to upscale. I gradually keep improving-slowly but surely. LOL. Thanks for watching!
Currently I have a 980TI in my Mac Pro 4.1 and it uses the full x16 slot, should I wait until the drivers are fully supported to go to a 1080 or should I just not try? I'm mostly video editing and color correcting in Davinci Resolve.
I don't know if I want to buy a dual x5690 3.46ghz Mac Pro decked out on eBay or build a hackintosh. Hackintosh looks great but I don't want a buggy system that requires maintenance. Hmmm
So I currently have 1080 on my PC, and I'm planning to do hackintosh to use it for my FCPX. Does the same rule apply? Will RX480 render much faster than 1080?
Is Nvidia going to release Pascal drivers for El Capitan? The Mac Pro 2006 cannot run Sierra no matter what it seems, but is still a decently powerful machine and runs Pascal perfectly in Windows.
TFW he doesn't differentiate between PCIE 2.0 or 3.0 when describing TB2; Just to clarify for anyone wondering, PCIE 2.0 x4 (TB2) bottlenecks GPUs, while PCIE 3.0 x4 (TB3) is equivalent to PCIE 2.0 x8, which is pretty much 90% of a 1080TI bandwidth as Snazzy Labs describes.
I will never forget the day when I used one of those Mac a trash can by accident. It looks like a desktop trash can it got a nice Cuppa Java poured down it
Considering that apple has great game support on iOS they should somewhat get into the gaming field, with their optimizations and other offerings it would seem smart.
Will hack with 2 vegas 56 or 2 vegas 64 work? Will FCPX, Premiere, Da vinci use both of the cards? Does mac support 2 cards in one system by crossfire out of the box?
No plans to do it at the moment, but maybe I'll try it for a future build. I'm sure people over at tonymac have already posted benchmark results. Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Great job, but Apple, c'mon...do a better job with eGPU support....like that will ever happen...
Sadly, you're right. Typical Apple.
yup
Snazzy Labs based off of their latest announcement, we may get a surprise this fall. Not counting on it, but just maybe.........
best solution: just buy a normal decent price pc :D
Apple just needs to put a decent GPU in their computer to start with. For the amount of people who rely in macOS the price of adding a full fat GPU will not affect the target audience. Apple needs to stop making deals with AMD to deliberately make their GPUs for Macs as bad as possible.
It's nice and refreshing to see quality content like this in the UA-cam tech community. Nice video, Quinn.

I TRIED CLICKING IT
Snazzy Labs I clicked because of the check mark. _My life is only disappointment._
Snazzy Labs god I hate you for this and myself for falling for it
Am I the only one that didn't click this??
Snazzy Labs no rip glorious mustache!
Weird.
My hackintosh says:
Graphics:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6143 MB
and in System Report:
Metal: Supported
You can see at 0:41, my Sys Profiler says the same thing, but it's definitely not working. It's necessary to play around with some kexts when using the RX480 to get Metal support to work. I tried to do something similar with the NVIDIA cards and it didn't work. I wonder if the drivers override it.
My Mac Pro 5,1 with a GTX 970 says the same thing.
#BRINGBACKTHEBEARD
No can do. Sorry. May she rest in peace.
Snazzy Labs ur losing subscribers by that 😈 just kidd
Quinn, you look about 1000% better with no beard. I'm so glad you shaved it.
Snazzy Labs agreed
Not as snazzy anymore
You just saved me a lot of money and for that thank you so much!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
The end screen is baller. Awesome video as always! I don't own a Mac but still love these vids. Great job Quinn!
Thanks man! :D
Would be great to do a new version of this video with all the latest software updates etc. I'm still looking at an eGPU for my 2013 Mac Pro - I know it has the thunderbolt 2 but I have the d500s...
Brilliant video mate. Here's to a new-age Mac Mini with an external GPU, gobs of RAM, and hopefully a modern CPU.
My MacBook Pro is my gaming PC through Boot Camp, and I use an external monitor. You haven't convinced me that an external GPU is not the best thing for me, but I haven't chosen yet and will certainly rewatch and reconsider before I invest. Thank you for the video.
If your machine will boot into Windows with an eGPU, it's not a bad option-driver problems aren't so much of a hassle-however, you'll still get throttled performance. A Ryzen 5 or i5 build wouldn't add much cost and would benefit heaps from additional performance.
I see. Thank you.
Some additional information: The RX580 is gonna be released tomorrow plus the Vega AMD high end GPUs releasing next month. Something to look out for!
I like that you're an Apple fan, but can be honest and call their bullshit like it is.
I do what I can. :D
Hey Snazzy. A belated update.. your eGPU series inspired me to upgrade my 2012 Mac Pro.

Very very interesting, when new desktop Macs arrives, keep making those tests.
Thank you for this video, Snazzy Labs. I've been looking to extend the use of my 2013 15" MBP Retina with an eGPU for 4K editing in FCPX w/AMD RX580.. as a way to hold out for what ARM/silicon can do when it makes it to MBP. Curious what your thoughts are on this?

I bet soon apple will release their own eGPU for $999 and a gtx 1060 and no others will work
I wish I even thought that would happen.
Coololly 1 month later they have
I was pretty close, RX 580 instead of 1060, $600 instead of 999... close
Coololly Nope!! The New update for MacOS will bring support for eGPUs to OSX. You can get the beta if you are a developer.
eGPU will be supported on the next Update of macOS!!!
There are videos with developers kit of macOS using eGPUs and there are no problems anymore.
0:32 Playing Rocket League with kb and mouse

Great video Quin. I like that you keep recommending Hackintosh. I couldn't agree more. The performance is just there and you get so much more bang for your buck. Oh, and did we mention expandability.
Anyway, thank you for another great video. Stay Snazzy!
did yoU JUST FUCKING DROP THE 1080TI
He caught it with his other hand. I thought it would be obvious...
sirlock194 I'd be scared of it slipping out of my hand, that thing is heavy.
or he put a bunch of pillows on the floor
Hey Snazzy! It'd be interesting to see hackintosh on notebooks: it should be useful because of the insane pricing of MacBook Pros
Extremely helpful info, THANKS!
You are getting me closer and closer to building hackintosh.
Hackintosh aren't perfect either. I think the best combo is an iMac or Apple desktop and a separate gaming PC. Best of both worlds-but it's cost prohibitive for some.
Please do an update on this topic!
This is such a great video
Thanks for testing the new 1080 cards on the mac! I know egpu's are still iffy but have you heard of this Bizonbox 3? Its like an external gpu enclosure that's thunderbolt 3 compatible with macs? I wonder if it is any good with the new pascal cards. Review it for us if you get the chance!

The question is, Could I get some newer mac compatible mxm-a GPU off another computer?
Hope you answer this.
Keep up with the good job.
Let's hope that their future "modular" mac pro means the return of a tower form factor, with proper standard PCIe slots.
Remember the patent Apple got about a year ago with a display with a built GPU? Im thinking the next Apple Cinema Display with have an EGPU built in and will work over one cable. Hence why they havent given any support for current egpu solutions.
Question if I may, have you ever had any problems because of creating video about hackintosh? I noticed that you avoid showing screen capture form your hMac. Thanx a lot for great video.
You look 10 years younger
Good!
Hey Quinn. Another great Vid! Have loved your vids and been a subscriber since BEFORE you made goodbye video on your Segway! Keep up the great work.
My heart almost sunk when you dropped that 1080 Ti.
Good thing I caught it! :D
That OR you used a mask and tracked the illusive drop ! :D lol
iMac (5K,Late 2014) It's working good with eGPU "geForce GTX 1080 TI "
Here is the question, while your results stated that with an rx480 single gpu was only 15% exporting time then OEM-Mac Pro. Which gpus do you have in your Macpro D300, D500 or D700).

I flinched when you dropped the 1080 Ti
I caught it easy peasy. :D
Finally! A very sober. You just save me time and money. Thank you very much.
VERY very VERY very VERY informative .. wow ... thank you
Thanks for watching!
Soo Snazzy do you need the thunderbolt box/cable w psu to use the 480 with a hackintosh ? Also, have you tried or are you aware of the caveats existing with a 570/580 ?
Great video, thanks! Which GPU would you recommend for an older Mac Pro (5,1 2010). I mainly use it for Excel but also do a little photo and video editing.
Your never ending quest for the right CPU lol. Thanks for doing this as I have a Mac Pro too!
Hey man, you make great videos. Thanks for the quality content as always, I'm excited every time I see one of your uploads on my subscriptions tab. Keep it up, I hope your subscriber-base grows.
Thanks for the kind words, Athan!
I don't think people primarily buy Macs and external GPU rigs for gaming...
Apple is probably working on their own EGPU + Monitor Solution...
They're working on a new "modular" Mac Pro (whatever that means). Going to have to wait it out to see what we end up getting.
Jarl Ballin' I thought they said they were interested in the idea of eGPUs?
Mac os 10.13 (High Sierra) will support eGPU natively! :) , right out of the box plug and play with out hack.
I'm sad as I sit here with my Akitio Node and I'm picking up a GTX 1060 tomorrow morning hoping that I can get some performance with this mac. Would I be better off going for a 2016 MacBook Pro for video editing?
There are a lot of problems, but I am very grateful to Nvidia for making the push. Gives the others an incentive to provide some tlc.
I died a little inside when he dropped that 1080 at the beginning
Do you have an old 2010-2012 Mac Pro? it would be interesting to see the results of an Rx 480 in a old Mac pro along with Pascal and Maxwell
I don't! I have seen videos from other people that have used the RX480 and it does the job well!
my heart dropped when you dropped the 1080Ti
*Cough* Tower Mac Pro from EBay.
Hey it’s been a while since u released that video :) are there any news on eGPU for MacBooks ? Like any cool solutions or experiences? I d love to see a new video about that 😁👌🏻
Your videos are just amazing!
Both Thunderbolt 2 and & 3 (and 1) use PCIex4. The difference is the version. TB3 uses PCIex4 3.0
I guess the only "all Apple" option here is to get the classic tower Mac Pro and put a GPU in it. I did that with a GTX 970 in a mid 2010 model and it works reliably. But not eGPU though.
Do you get the boot screen with that setup?
Thanks for the info
HI Snazzy Labs , Which external Gpu enclusure did you use with the EVGA GTX HYBRID ? Thanks :-)
Hey, I'm really new to these "Hackintoshs". What are your actual components? I want to build a dual boot system (macOS, Windows 10), there I can do also updates without to pray every time the system is still working after. And thanks for your videos! I like to watch them every time.
There's a lot of moving parts. The tutorials at tonymacx86.com are a good place to start.
He's already made an in-depth video about his hackintosh. If you want to build one yourself you should look up a list of parts that are "most" compatible with Mac OS.
Holy fast response! :D
Just checked that side already. I think I will stick to the "Buyer's Guide". But I just asked myself if there are "the best components" because the list seems to(o) be really long.
I like to see more hackintosh builds for gaming and to see if they are as good as PCs or better but still run os.
I was scared for the 0.2 seconds in between you dropping the graphics card and your arm moving down slightly from you catching it
LOL. :D
You really are convincing me to build a Hackintosh as I can't stand to give Apple any more money that their machines are not worth anymore. Would you do a video tutorial like you did for the silent build about the most powerful hackintosh buildable at this moment in time? tonymac is a great website, but before I commit to buy pieces and learn how to put them together, it would be great to have an honest and genuine opinion from you. Cheers !
I made mine through tony, it's easy to understand and with a little bit time you would get your 1st hackintosh :D
The reason why 980ti is faster is probably because it has more CUDA cores instead of higher clock.Pascal architecture is highly optimized for gaming but maybe not the case in terms of computing. 980ti is still a super good card for computing.

Did you just freakin drop the 1080Ti?!!!!
Wait is that Linus reference?
I want to see a video explaining what the deal is with MacOS and GPUs in general. I understand it has to do with the card's BIOS or something....
Do a follow up on the WWDC '17 eGPU support announcement!
Will running any Radeon card via eGPU enclosure work with crossfire to allow the internal monitor to run at higher framerate rather than requiring an external monitor?
I really wish Apple would support EGPUs and realize that high-end graphics cards are important. I much, much prefer macOS to Windows but Apple seems to have contempt for high-end graphics.
They sure do. Hopefully we'll see things change with the upcoming redesigned Mac Pro, but I'll believe it when I see it.
JC Leyba just build an hackintosh ? Cheaper, more customization and no restriction imposed by A$$le

First
Getting an external GPU for a Mac is like buying $4000 rims for a 1982 Toyota shitbox.
Is there an update to this old video? Has it become any easier via any updated/upgraded eGPU hardware model experiences to use these on older TB 2.0 Macs?
Didn't the TB2 Macs with two ports have full speed to both? In theory, couldn't a box use both TB2 ports? Might have to get around fine timing synchronization or something I guess, but if they could do that, TB2 could come around TB3 speed with two ports. Or TB3 itself could use more than one port.
Theoretically, I suppose that's possible, but practically it's nonexistent. Not for eGPUs. Can only use one TB2 connection from a single bus.
I read somewhere that it simply won't work at such data speeds / volumes. The compiler won't be able to handle the flow and there will be too much data corruption.
May I ask about the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (Polaris) 32gb VRAM GPU... Will we need to wait for some kind of drivers or will it work natively with the 2013 Mac Pro as you mentioned the RX480 did?

Thanks so much!!! Nickolas
is there anyway you can make your timeline(s) for Premiere and FCPX available? I'd like to test my own 2016 MacBook Pro and see where it falls amidst these other cards.
I shat myself when he dropped the GPU...I was also wearing white underwear.
Why wouldnt you build a Hackintosh, its faster and cheaper.
I mention this, pal. Watch the vid. :)
RAIN you have to buy a Mac to build a hackintosh how is it cheaper
Bullshit
MAJORxALTERcATiON lmao the fuck? no you don't.
I don't have that much free time to get a hackintosh going
This is the best looking video you've ever made
Really? Thanks! I was pretty disappointed with the weird AF breathing in the a-roll. I also shot a lot of it in 1080p on accident and had to upscale. I gradually keep improving-slowly but surely. LOL. Thanks for watching!
Snazzy Labs maybe I just liked the colors? They did look super good
I have the iMac Pro with boot-camp and Vega 64 :)
Nice!
Did anyone elses heart stop when he dropped that 1080Ti?
Good video Snazzy :)
Thanks for watching!
woah I forgot what you look like without the beard.
Currently I have a 980TI in my Mac Pro 4.1 and it uses the full x16 slot, should I wait until the drivers are fully supported to go to a 1080 or should I just not try? I'm mostly video editing and color correcting in Davinci Resolve.
i cried when i saw how you put the thermal paste
I don't know if I want to buy a dual x5690 3.46ghz Mac Pro decked out on eBay or build a hackintosh. Hackintosh looks great but I don't want a buggy system that requires maintenance. Hmmm
So I currently have 1080 on my PC, and I'm planning to do hackintosh to use it for my FCPX. Does the same rule apply? Will RX480 render much faster than 1080?
Very good video.
Stay Snazzy
Is Nvidia going to release Pascal drivers for El Capitan? The Mac Pro 2006 cannot run Sierra no matter what it seems, but is still a decently powerful machine and runs Pascal perfectly in Windows.
I highly doubt it. Their site has 10.12.4 or higher. I was on 10.12.3 and it made me upgrade. LOL.
You should do a hackintosh tutorial about dual booting
TFW he doesn't differentiate between PCIE 2.0 or 3.0 when describing TB2; Just to clarify for anyone wondering, PCIE 2.0 x4 (TB2) bottlenecks GPUs, while PCIE 3.0 x4 (TB3) is equivalent to PCIE 2.0 x8, which is pretty much 90% of a 1080TI bandwidth as Snazzy Labs describes.
I will never forget the day when I used one of those Mac a trash can by accident. It looks like a desktop trash can it got a nice Cuppa Java poured down it
Considering that apple has great game support on iOS they should somewhat get into the gaming field, with their optimizations and other offerings it would seem smart.
You'd think! Especially since the gaming market is getting so huge; alas, I have never tried to understand why/why not Apple does what it does. LOL.
You actually scared me when you dropped the 1080 Ti.... Phew
Will hack with 2 vegas 56 or 2 vegas 64 work? Will FCPX, Premiere, Da vinci use both of the cards? Does mac support 2 cards in one system by crossfire out of the box?
Is there a chance you could test the pascal cards in a hackintosh? I'd like to know the performance in Mac OS X without the bottleneck of thunderbolt
No plans to do it at the moment, but maybe I'll try it for a future build. I'm sure people over at tonymac have already posted benchmark results. Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Did you try anything on an upgraded 2009 or 2010 4,1 or 5,1 Cheese Grater Mac?
Why did you shave that epic beard?
I guess its time to do an update to this video
Can you run your tests with macOS high Sierra which supposedly supports eGpu?
Just curious about the "Stock MacPro" set up is that stock with D300 or D700? Thanks.
Have intel HD4000 as main gpu in 2012 mbp, i am sure even a thunderbolt 2 eGpu 750ti will be very much better. But thanx, good vid'
