    Razer Chroma X + 5700 XT for gaming in BootCamp

    I have a MacBook Pro 15'' 2019 Intel i9 8cores 32GB RAM and a Radeon Pro 560X 4GB graphics card... I recently got into gaming on bootcamp (VR as well) and I was surprised at how well it handled them. But of course I wanted a better gaming experience with better graphics so I ordered an eGPU...

    Hi all, I've been reading a bit about eGPUs and am thinking of adding one to my 2017 15" Macbook pro (2,9 ghz i7 + 16gb + radeon 560 4gb). When using the egpu it'll be used with a 4K 32" monitor. I already checked egpu.io and other sites, a lot focus on gaming. I use Adobe Photoshop, Indesign...

    MacBook Pro 2017 Non-touchbar cannot find gaming box GTX 1070 after updating 10.14.1

    The gaming box is completely unrecognizable after the update: In 10.14.1, the system information showed nothing in Thunderbolt section. In Windows 10, no matter how I plug in the box(during Windows Logo screen or after booting), nothing shown in the device manager. I think it's because of the...

    Hi-res / Ultrawide monitor app mgt

    Just a technical inquiry about Mojave. I'm considering a new- or refurbished-hardware-purchase in the coming months. Could be a 27-inch iMac i7 or a MacBook Pro 13-inch 17 w/ eGPU. Either setup would include an external monitor. I am concerned about window management when using multiple programs...

    Are there eGPU options for an old Thunderbolt 1 MBP?

    I read this thread about a new Blackmagic eGPU for recent MBPs and I got quite interested in it. However, I have a mid 2012 MBP 13'' with 8 GB RAM, which features an old Thunderbolt 1 port, currently connected to an external monitor (1920 X 1080), and I bet this setup wouldn't be compatible with...

    Hi all, recently I bought a mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13". The laptop runs great! its very fast for basic and some intensive tasks, but as we all know, these laptops are not great at gaming.

    13" 2018 MBP BlackMagic eGPU alternatives

    Hi all. Finally going to replace my 2012 15" rMBP since the new models are 60 - 104% faster (CPU). I'm also downsizing since the 13" is still 60% faster. However, I often worked docked and with an LG 43" 4k monitor. I don't do any gaming but do some audio and video editing so was thinking...
