Hi There,
I do have a question. I have iMac Pro with 2.3Ghz - 18 core 128GB RAM, 4TB SSD and 16GB of Vega pro 64. So now i made a boot camp with 2TB of windows and when i plug my Core v2 which has inside it an 1080Ti 11GB graphics cards. It shows that's it contacted but for some reason when i try to play games it's always on AMD raphics cards. Is there a way to make sure that it's always running on razer core v2?

It's up to date at the moment it's on 10.13.4. I bought 2 Apple products iMac Pro and MacBook Pro but I can't use the Razer core. I tried the following steps from this website the drivers has been installed and I can see the Nvidia logo on my menu bar but when I connect to egpu I don't see it keeps saying am using intel graphics cards

WHy install a 1080ti via egpu? the x4 limitations will make the performance about equal to the vega 64...

 

I would return the core and the 1080ti if you just purchased it.

Trust me 16GB of Vega pro sucks badly while palying games such as Dota2 and World of warcraft. I get from 2-16 fps and 1hz imagine.. it keeps crashing as well so it's useless unless its being used for rendering which I don't really use.

Then you have another issue... The built in card should not be performing that badly.

 

Come to think of it i believe those games are highly single threaded, so a lowly clocked 2.3 ghz cpu (xeon?) wont perform very good, but definitely above 2-16 FPS.

Bootcamp does not currently support eGPUs. There are other ways to do this but you’ll have to do some modifying of Windows 10 and driver finiking. 

 

There should be videos above this on YouTube that go in depth.
