The description of the OWC Mercury Helios FX says that: However, for Apple users who want to crank every bit of graphic horsepower out of their Macs, the AMD Radeon-based eGPUs are their best bet. This Apple article spotlights the issue: the majority of the eGPUs supported use AMD Radeon cards, while drivers for many other GPUs are nonexistent. While this is good news for those who need the fastest Macs possible, the fact remains that built-in driver support for many GPU cards is nonexistent. The sheer speed and throughput of Thunderbolt 3 and recent improvements to both macOS and Apple hardware have made it possible to add External Graphic Processing Units ( eGPUs) to any Mac in the current lineup. This is the OWC Mercury Helios FX Thunderbolt 3 expansion chassis bundled with an AMD Radeon RX580 graphics processing unit (GPU). But what about those of us who need the portability of the MacBook Pro and still wish to speed up game frame rates and video processing? Fortunately, there’s an answer to expanding these “non-expandable” machines - the OWC Mercury Helios FX 650 eGPU ($589.88). For many professional users, the release of the new Mac Pro is an answer to a lot of requests for a more powerful and expandable Mac in the Apple lineup.
