![]() I've found that almost no apps do this yet. I only want the additional compute oomph from the eGPUs.Īpple designed "Metal 2" with eGPU support so that Apps can see the eGPUs when they are attached and react to them. The best way to force Adobe apps to see the eGPU is to clamshell the Laptop and connect your screen to the eGPU.įor me it's way easier to plug in 1 eGPU or 2 eGPUs when I need them as compute units for Blender so I rarely bother hooking up the screen to the GPUs because my laptop powers the screen just fine. None of the eGPUs work with Adobe apps if they're added as "compute only" eGPUs. I have the latest version of Adobe CC installed. ![]() I'll start with the WX 9100 only because that's "meant" to have full Premier support. Latest 10.13.6 with Sonnet eGPU RX 580 and eGPU WX 9100. ![]() just set the rendering engine to use all the eGPUs and it'll suck all the compute it can from them. Using Activity Monitor > Window > GPU History you can see which GPU is being used by the apps when you use an accelerated function in macOS 10.13.4.īlender 3D doesn't care. Premier will see the eGPU and use it if the eGPU is powering the main screen but the laptop doesn't have to be in clamshell mode. Photoshop will only see it if the laptop is in Clamshell mode and the eGPU is powering the main screen. I've been doing some experimenting and the setup of the eGPU and screen within in macOS is critical to any of the Adobe apps "seeing" and using the eGPU. I now have a Radeon Pro WX 9100 inside a Sonnet 650 eGPU and my original Sapphire RX 580 inside a Sonnet 350 eGPU. This works perfectly in some applications like Blender 3D but none of the Adobe CC apps recognise the eGPU. ![]() So my Laptop has been powering the main display and the eGPUs are added without screens to add OpenCL or Metal computing power. I have been generally using the eGPUs as "compute assist" devices. Adobe CC apps are picky about your exact eGPU connection setups! ![]()
