  1. This is something I've had debate with other people on. We all thought that the eGPU would be carrying the load of the graphics because it lays directly between the mac and the displays - ie, the mac connects to the egpu, and the egpu connects to the display. If it was one of those Black Magic egpu's I'd totally agree with you, they connect to the mac, and the displays connect to the mac. Are you sure?
  2. Currently my configuration is this: mac screen - 2880x1800 main display - 5120x1440 left side display - (90 degree rotated to) 1440x2560 What I'd like to do is keep the mac screen and main display as is, but swap out the left monitor to a (90 degree rotated) 2160x3840. It puts it at just a hair over what the mac specs say it can do (max of 10000 pxl), thus I'd be relying on the eGPU to do the work, which is why I brought it to this community. I'm understanding that you guys think it should be fine. That's awesome! Thank you!
  3. Hey everyone, I hope I don't get beat up too much for asking this question, being it's mac related. When it comes to deviating outside of the per-defined lines that Apple has set up, I've found that the apple community forums aren't very helpful. I've got this 2018 Macbook Pro 15" connected to a Razer Core X Chroma eGPU using a Radeon Pro Wx 7100. Connected to the eGPU are the external monitors. I mention the order in which things are connected because it makes a difference on how the mac utilizes the eGPU. My question is this: What's the maximum resolution I can get out of my system? Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how many pixels I can push - both vertically and horizontally. I LOVE monitors, the more the better. I'm currently running 9440 x 1440'ish. But I'd like to bump it up to 10160 x 1440'ish if possible. (One of the monitors is running in portrait mode, and the macbook pro default vertical ressolution is 1800, that's why I say "ish". Most of the monitors are using 1440) Being a mac I don't really do much gaming on it, mostly I just like to have all my documents open at the same time when I work, so maintaining an FPS of >30 is all I'm really interested in. I've come here because I need some minds that are more accustomed to thinking about what a computer CAN do, versus what the manufacturer/normal user says it will do. Anybody have any thoughts?
