An external graphics card (also known as an eGPU or external GPU) enclosure allows you to house an desktop graphics card, such as the blisteringly fast GeForce GTX 1080, and connect it to your laptop and allow it to run applications or connect to an external monitor with the desktop graphics card.
Hi,
Just thought I would upload my experience with the following equipment:
- Macbook Pro 13' (2018) w/ 8GB RAM
- Sonnet eGFX 650w enclosure
- AMD Vega 64 Strix
First of all, the GPU ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0781VL2HB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is VERY big, and I could not fit it into the Sonnet eGPU case without taking out the fan. This was easy to do though and the GPU was still a VERY tight fit, so be warned.

It was recognised automatically by the Macbook Pro, so I booted up World of Warcraft (Legion zones) to test the graphics, WITHOUT an external monitor. I was really dissapointed, the frame rates were OK, but really bad for the card I had (45-60 fps) with big lag spikes. I then tested different resolutions by reducing the render scale, this improved the graphics (was getting between 55-60 fps), but whenever it rained, or there was any large amount of spell graphics in the game, the FPS tanked.
Thinking there might be some throttling in the thunderbolt cable as I was using the internal monitor, I hooked up an 1080p external monitor. Frame rates were more steady, but anytime I turned the graphics up it just felt wrong, the fps was ok, but it felt stuttery, and the FPS would occasionally drop. I had Warcraft set to display on my external monitor (and I used the macbook in clam shell mode and out of it). I tested Diablo 3 and it was the same, just didnt feel right for a £550 GPU.
I then read a guide on here, that I should move the menu bar to the external monitor so that was the primary monitor. As soon as I did that, the graphics are amazing. I have WoW set at nearly maxed out (aside from AA which I have on x2) and it runs at a perfect 60 with no stutter.
I tried to bootcamp, but was having no success with the eGPU (black screen of death), so I am going to leave that alone for a bit until some clever people come up with a hack for it.
Anyway, some of this might already be covered, but I spent a whole evening trying to get it to work the way I wanted, so wanted to share my experience.
TL:DR: My experience was to NOT use the internal screen, make the external monitor the PRIMARY monitor. Oh and use the script posted on eGPU to force all applications to use the eGPU. Very impressed with the results.

Nice configuration! Similar to mine 🙂

Thank you. I want it to last a couple of years at least.... which makes me think I should have got the 16GB Macbook (it isnt available yet in my country), but hopefully I should be ok

I guess that is something for this weekend! I did have a gander at a few of them, which involved disabling the sight camera, but I saw some mixed results so was unsure if I should start messing around with my Mac if it wasnt 100%.

The 2018 is a bit different than 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros. Most likely internal display acceleration by the eGPU is not yet possible for AMD cards. There's another concern for the 13' MBP in stuck Windows logo internal display. What I found is that in order to make the AMD eGPU functional, it needs to be detected at boot to get enough resource allocation. That means the iGPU gets disabled and hence stuck Windows boot logo on the internal display.

do you think this would work well with the mac mini? do you think 32gb memory is overkill or future proofing?
