Do I have to reboot my system *every time* I use the eGPU?įYI: I use it even more hours as a general purpose dock (for power supplies, etc.) than I use it as an eGPU accelerator as such. But they only gave me the "upgrade to Big Sur, contact Blackmagic Design and if that doesn't help call us back" response. I would have thought that the pull-down menu item was a macOS issue, so I contacted Apple Support about this (case ID 101378027098). In such cases I've received the "GPU Not Disconnected Properly" notification, and a couple of times even a system PANIC (crash) only seconds after. However, sometimes the pull-down menu item will not display (yes, I've tried multiple approaches, including closing other menu items to ensure that there is ample screen space available), but if I'm in a hurry I might have no option but to just unplug the hardware without invoking the soft eject first. Normally I FIRST use the 'soft eject', by invoking the pull-down menu ( "Disconnect AMD Radeon RX Vega 56") and THEN pull the plug (i.e. Sometimes I need to bring/move my Mac to a different place. * EXCEPT* from under the following condition: Since this point onwards the device has been working pretty flawlessly (Geekbench 5.4 states that the GPU performance was increased from 8K-something to 58K-something for OpenCL and 68K-something for Metal).

After that, macOS needed to apply an additional system update. Upon installing the eGPU Pro I first applied the Blackmagic Design firmware v1.2 patch. along with (a) Cisco AMP/Umbrella v1.14 (Endpoint Security) and (b) Little Snitch v4.6 (two-way firewall) as the only two low-level (kernel) extensions. I'm a fairly new user of both the eGPU (the 'Pro' version based upon Vega 56 card) and DaVinci, using an MBP 13" (2020 version w/4x Thunderbolt 3) running macOS 10.15.7 (with all relevant patches applied).
