Posted May 16, 2018 I've seen on eBay that almost all the time MAC Edition GPUs are sold for far! more than normal prices. (Prices below are converted - GBP>USD) For example: MAC Edition HD 7950 was sold for 430$ twice in UK while normal price was 100$ (other then MAC Edition) MAC Edition HD 7950 was sold for 320$ twice in US while normal price was 110$ (other then MAC Edition) MAC Edition HD 5870 1GB was sold for 195 $ in UK Does MAC supports only these MAC Edition GPUs and not normal GPUs or they just being sold for to be MAC Edition? Please do not take a current date into consideration as this results were recorded on somewhere mid 2017 - late 2017. But I still think that those MAC GPUs are still being sold for much higher prices...

Posted May 16, 2018 Macs block cards unless they have a special bios on them. It is usually possible to put the special mac GPU bios on a normal card though Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

Any RX 400 or RX 500 AMD GPU will work in an eGPU enclosure (Requires a piece of hardware not found on older GPUs). Nvidia cards, not so much. Nvidia is still on bad terms with Apple .
