Hi,
I have a few questions about the current situation with thunderbolt egpu, and I hope some of you will be able to help me sort things out.
Already found conflicting info on the internet, and also for conflicting infos from local Apple stores, so I’m really lost.
First thing first: can I get 30bit colors using an egpu even if
1) the Mac doesn’t support 30bit colors out through thunderbolt (eg: the MacBook Air)
2) I’m using a consumer-grade graphic card, such as a Radeon RX 5700
The chain would be: computer—>thunderbolt 3 egpu—>display
Under Windows, no choice, one must use a professional graphic card. I was wondering if the situation was the same under MacOS since Apple provide their own drivers.
Second question, more to satisfy my curiosity than any real plan: can I use a egpu consumer graphic card and a egpu pro graphic card with the same computer, such as a Radeon RX 5700 and a FirePro?
Once again, under Windows, no choice: one can’t install a consumer and a pro card on the same motherboard. AMD told me it doesn’t work due to drivers incompatibility.
Thanks a lot
Larry
