This certainly paves the way, especially with an eGPU, for more immersive gaming on the Mac, even if adoption has been tepid to start.Īpple has the smallest gaming platform, and the biggest HTC Vive now works on macOS and Valve launched SteamVR at the same time. At the 2017 WWDC, while talking about eGPUs, Apple officially added support for VR as well. With the eGPU, comes Apple's first tentative steps into virtual reality. So, given Apple's GPU choices, it isn't a great one.
Plus, without hacks, Nvidia card support is non-existent.īootCamp to install Windows on a Mac is workable, but eGPU support in BootCamp doesn't exist without workarounds right now. With enclosures generally around $300, and a card with any heft hitting $300 and increasing dramatically, doing so is a non-trivial expense in addition to the computer itself. This comes at a pretty profound price premium, though. Summarizing the situation, a Mac owner with Thunderbolt 3 can buy an external enclosure, and drop in a graphics card that can be upgraded over time. Apple's macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 now supports external GPUs over Thunderbolt 3.
