Max and eGPU

Hi everybody,
Does somebody has work with a Mac and an eGpu connected on it?
It seams that OpenGL does'nt work with the eGpu but with the internal videoCard.

Is there a solution?

Thanks

HI Benoit,
Yes it's work like a charme with my mac mini and eGpu, but there problem with macbook you need to open you patch window on an external monitor plugged on your egpu .

Thanks Matth for your reply.
I have the same configuration with a Mac Mini, but I don't understand why in the Menu "Options/OpenGl status" the eGPU does'nt appears. Only the internal Gpu is shown.

Hello,
Are you under Mojave?
If it's the case cmd I on the Max.app and choose use egpu if possible then you should get rid off using an external monitor.
I'll test that tomorrow when i'm at the theater and i'll let you know but it should work like in Millumin
Best regards
