Not all apps support eGPU acceleration; check with the apps developer to learn more.

This option lets the eGPU accelerate apps on any display connected to the Macincluding displays built in to iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.

Some apps, such as Final Cut Pro, directly choose which graphics processors are used and will ignore the Prefer External GPU checkbox.

Since apps default to the GPU associated with the primary display, this option works with a variety of apps.

When the eGPU is re-attached, it automatically sets the external display as the primary display.

This design fuels the visually rich and graphical macOS experience as well as many deeper platform compute and graphics features.

These include accelerating the user interface, providing support for advanced display features, rendering 3D graphics for pro software and games, processing photos and videos, driving powerful GPU compute features, and accelerating machine learning tasks.

This deep integration also enables optimal battery life while providing for greater system performance and stability.

In order to deliver the best possible customer experience, GPU drivers need to be engineered, integrated, tested, and delivered with each version of macOS.

Aftermarket GPU drivers delivered by third parties are not compatible with macOS.

Because of this deep system integration, only graphics cards that use the same GPU architecture as those built into Mac products are supported in macOS.

If you use an eGPU to also charge your MacBook Pro, the eGPUs chassis needs to provide enough power to run the graphics card and charge the computer.

Check with the manufacturer of the chassis to find out if it provides enough power for your MacBook Pro.
