This post is about setting up your very first eGPU. You will find that this process is actually pretty straightforward. It won’t take much time, and it won’t cost you much money to get started with this hobby. EGPUs can greatly improve the gaming performance of a system if you’re looking for a way to make a gaming PC more powerful. Because adding portability and adding power to a gaming rig is usually a good idea, it’s worth starting with a small investment. I picked up my first eGPU setup after the release of the new Mac Pro in December 2016. In that time, I have learned some things from using eGPUs, and I’ve been using them regularly on my MacPro since then. After reviewing various options for building an eGPU on Macs, I decided to list everything that I needed on this page. Note: This article will be about adding an eGPU to a Mac, not building one from scratch. It will not talk about installing Windows. I’m only interested in adding the GTX 1080 Ti to my existing system’s hardware, and the options below should help you do that without worrying too much about voltage issues. Whether you’re building your own PC or buying a prebuilt machine, the first step is to decide what kind of hardware you’re going to use. In general, here is what you need to know: Graphics Cards—they should be “mini” (fits in the small form factor computer cases); Multi-GPU is not an option; Power Supplies (PSUs)—enough wattage to supply power to all of your hardware; Motherboards—support for SATA 3.0 should be fine; CPUs—the latest generation Intel Core i7 7700K (or 7700, 7740X, 7740); and I discussed this more below. Macs don’t come with much in the way of GPU options. You can buy one or two Thunderbolt/USB-C GPUs, but that’s it. For the time being, you have two basic options for adding an eGPU to a Mac: use Thunderbolt 3, which requires a new PCIe card, or switch to USB-C. I tested an earlier generation Thunderbolt 3 eGPU which used a GeForce GTX 980 Ti card. The only thing that you needed was a PCIe adapter card, which worked fine with my Mac Pro upgraded with 16GB of high speed DDR4 RAM and the new processor/motherboard combo I mentioned at the top of this article. cfa1e77820
