If youre not familiar, eGPU is short for an external GPU (graphics processing unit) and refers to the ability for a computer (usually a laptop) to be able to use a GPU or graphics card in an external housing as if it was built into the computer.This means, with a supported eGPU housing and a GPU plugged in, you can get desktop-like graphics processing from your less powerful laptop.But what if you want to use NVIDIA and not AMD Maybe you already have an NVIDIA card or maybe you just prefer the brand.
![]() ![]() Graphics Cards Upgrade Cards LaterIm using the Razer Core X as its a larger container thats pretty future-proofed even if you want to upgrade cards later on, it natively supports Mac, and it is competitively priced.You can use any number of eGPUs though, just make sure they fit your GPU and they say they support Mac. Now, again, you can grab any of the AMD cards listed above and just plug them in and theyll work so long as youre on High Sierra 10.13.4 or higher, but if you want to use NVIDIA we need to use the mentioned script. This will close all open programs, so save your stuff and close everything before beginning. Make sure that your eGPU is not plugged in at this point as well or it could damage the system (the script will tell you when to plug it in). Shut it down first and once the eGPU fan stops spinning, you can unplug it. If this helped you, please give thanks or donate to the developer of the script as he and others worked hard to get this to work so seamlessly and be sure to check out the forum thread for some common issues and solutions. Id recommend checking eGPU.io or posting there and see if anyone can help. Graphics Cards Drivers When TheyId recommend leaving it installed as it wont hurt the computer and you can just grab the NVIDIA drivers when they become available. If you really want to uninstall them, there is a section that says uninstall on the developers Github.
