You can just get a pci enclosure, and use the hardware.. Attaching it to a VM makes sense bc of drivers etc.



eGPUs don't work with Apple Silicon Macs, only Intel. We ran into a lot of the limitations early on, and this is the only reason we still have 2018 Mac Minis and 2019 Mac Book Pros.

Five years, and still no solution. And somehow they're spinning memory bandwidth as some sort of prescient act of Apple genius for AI. It's insulting.


Hmm... you're right.. I tried searching for ANY support... but there's really nothing yet.


You can imagine our confusion and surprise when we got our first M1s and had to lose a few displays and our eGPUs.

Apple made a strange choice with their hardware that effectively pushed our development to Linux and Windows. If Macs didn't make such nice front ends, they almost wouldn't have a place at all.
