External GPU's with macOS

I'm helping a friend with an external GPU enclosure for her new Macbook (I know, she got it against my my suggestions). 

Anyway, we have decided on the Razer core X due to it's availability in Australia and it just is generally nice. However, when looking at GPU's all the documentation from Apple says they only support AMD cards. As far as I am aware the 10 series nVidia cards introduces macOS support.

Are we limited to AMD cards?

Would an nVidia card still work?

FUN!! Thanks Apple! 

To be fair, even with a good GPU you still won't be playing many games as very few are ported to mac, so you need to run Windows on your mac anyway and in that case you can just use an nvidia card.

Too true, I didn't even consider the game's actual support for the OS. 

That then raises the question of support for the eGPU through bootcamp... Are the drivers functional?
