I know it doesn't really make any sense because for $2000 you could buy an enclose and a high end GPU that could do a lot more BUT... has anyone tried to run an Afterburner with their MacBook Pro?
I'm just really interested in seeing if it works at all and if so what kind of benefits are seen.
 
Very few people who ordered even have their hands on the card yet. Some in the Mac Pro forum had their MP7,1 shipped without the Afterburner to partially fulfill the order, then Afterburner shipped (would ship) separate.

Unless it does more than ProRes acceleration one day, there is not going to be a ton of $2K interest in the FPGA.
 
Max Yuryev tested the Afterburner in one of his videos, and no, it doesn’t work in an EGPU.

Supposedly the card is programmable, so it could be programmed for different purposes.
