Hey Awesome People!

 

I have a silly question, if ill buy an RTX 2060 Super GPU, there's a 3 hdmi ports and 3 display ports as well as one type-c port, the question is - Can i connect my macbook pro to this GPU card and like render files from a macbook while it will be installed in my main PC build?

 

Thanks for answers!

Yes, it's supposedly fully functional and not just a display output.

Don't think you can connect to the GPU to a macbook without a GPU enclosure like a razer core.

You would need a GPU enclosure for that.

It might charge your Macbook, but turning your PC into an eGPU, I fully doubt it.

He did say a desktop will be running the card, so I assume he'll drop the files through USB-C into the desktop, then render it there (could remote access the desktop while doing that to stay on the same keyboard and touchpad)

It sounded more to be like he meant will the Macbook be able to utilize the GPU as if it was installed, but hey... he has both sets of answer now.
