The same goes for any graphics card that has a TDP higher than 150-watts. As for GPU support at this time, PowerColor had a short list that consisted of various GTX 1060, GTX1070, and RX 570 cards, however, all of them were Mini or ITX versions since any graphics cards larger than 175 x 131 x 38 mm (6.88 x 5.15 x 1.49 inches) in size will not fit. Later on, a standalone enclosure with no GPU will be released for $199.

The Mini Pro with RX 570 is expected to cost $499, while the regular Mini is listed for $359. However, it also comes with a much more affordable price. Gone are the USB 3.0 ports and extra fan while the ethernet connection is no longer a Gigabit offering. The TBX-180F or Mini is very similar, but it sacrifices a few features and downgrades the GPU to a Radeon RX 560 4 GB. Rather than using a traditional power supply, these eGPU enclosures make use of an external adapter. Concerning power delivery the system supplies 75-watts via the PCIe slot and has a Max GPU power limit of 150-watts. It also offers up 1x Gigabit ethernet, 2x USB 3.0, and of course a Thunderbolt 3 port for connecting to the host system. The TBX-240FU or Mini Pro version will come with a Radeon RX 570 8 GB and has an extra fan for improved cooling.

Radeon drivers have gotten better to improve loopback eGPU mode.Looking at the TBX-180F and TBX-240FU or the Mini and Mini Pro as they have been named, share similar designs but come in a few different configurations.

Performance in Windows so far seems identical to the reference RX 5700 eGPU I tested with this same 2019 13-in MacBook Pro a couple years ago. The XFX RX 6600 with two large fans is very quiet during use. Here are some numbers in Unigine and 3DMark through loopback and external monitor (Samsung 4K FrameTV). I was able to confirm in CL!ng the higher Device to Host speed. MasterCase EG200 is the only eGPU enclosure so far with the higher throughput Thunderbolt 3 controller, JHL7440. Once that was done, I downloaded and installed the latest Radeon drivers. Due to switching both eGPU enclosure and graphics card, I used DDU first to remove all Radeon drivers and PCIe port associations.

Older Macs work better with automate-eGPU EFI boot loader. This EFI boot loader works best for Macs with Apple T2 Chip. In order to keep the iGPU and internal display working, I use the modified apple_set_os v0.5. This particular version plays well with Radeon eGPU. I only connected the HDMI cable briefly to test external eGPU performance vs loopback eGPU performance. The RX 6600 has 4 monitor outputs (3x DP and 1x HDMI). You could say thermal management at this eGPU setup is not optimal for performance.Īll components in this build have native eGPU support in macOS 12.1 Monterey so it was straight forward. As seen here, my dogs immediately entered sleep mode while I'm setting up the area for photographing. With an electric heater mounted under the table, it's very nice and cozy. 5m Thunderbolt 3 cableĭuring the winter time, it gets cold in Minnesota so I tend to spend my work day in the Kotatsu.

Mid 2019 13' MacBook Pro – i7-8569U/Iris Plus Graphics 655 iGPU/16GB RAM/512GB SSD It required DDU and re-installation of latest Radeon drivers. The more challenging connection is in Boot Camp with Windows 11. It was plug and play with my 2019 13-in MacBook Pro running 12.2 Beta. The model I bought is XFX Swift 210 RX 6600. The RX 6600 recently gained macOS support with the release of 12.1. This past week I was able to order an RX 6600 at decent price. The laptop has been at home more due to remote work and it needs an eGPU boost once in a while.

Through different versions of macOS and Windows, it remains working very well for a dual-boot eGPU setup. I've been using it in the office with a VisionTek mini eGFX + ITX RX 5600 eGPU in the past two years. My work-issued laptop is a 2019 13-in MacBook Pro.
