eGPUs back to being a possibility for AS macs?

[dukebound85]

With h Mac Pro having PCIE capability, does that mean that external gpu's are now looking feasible for other AS macs?

No, neither does Mac Pro support third-party GPUs.

where is that stated?

As far as I am aware, nowhere. But the fact that there are no third-party GPU drivers included in macOS or that Apple does not offer any GPU purchase options with the new MP should speak for themselves.

Back in 2019 I did a study on eGPU enclosures + dGPU with a 2019 MBP 16" and it comes out that if you want to game it would be simpler and faster to just build a PC gaming machine.

Less bugs and uniquely macOS issues.

there are other reasons for egpu's aside from gaming.....like driving displays

Apple should release a “Metal GPU” card that can be used as an eGPU for Macs.

While they're at it Apple should create a dGPU for x86.

Why in heaven's name would we want that? We already have better available. At Apple's prices, no way?????
