  • non upgradable gpu is a pretty dumb. The ASUS Rog or Razer Core looks a better use of money.

  • OH HAI.

    So, this black magic, its actually great... but not what you are after.
    Its a high end (build) super silent studio eGPU for video editors especially those running LG 5K displays as it is the only eGPU/GPU with TB3 output for TB3 monitors. It works in Bootcamp/W10 if you have a previous eGPU set up as there are driver detection issues (although AMD cards are harder to get working on most MacBooks in W10).

    @Sumo I wouldn't call it dumb, it doesnt suit everyone but its really well built, runs cool and super silent, things that are important in the studio environment, and the price isn't that bad considering, a core V2 + an rx580 would set you back more and those things run loud. The Asus looks like a great enclosure.

    If you want to game you should really boot into windows, and when doing that Nvidia cards are so much easier to set up.

    The new 13inch MBP, this, and an LG 5K would be a beast of a set up for someone who only uses macOS (a lot of my games are macOS too). I can't justify upgrading on a yearly basis so sticking with my 2017 and a 1070 for games in Windows.
