This was an interesting exercise, but I do not understand why a Mac Mini owner would want to buy and use a Windows-only eGPU with an expensive "5K2K" display. Why not buy a cross-platform-compatible eGPU that could enhance both the MacOS and Windows experience? Those wanting a Windows-only experience would likely skip the MacMini and put their fancy card in a gaming PC, even if they have to build it themselves.

[@carisi2k11]

He said because those e-gpu's can't take the new 2080's because they are too big.

[@uss_04]

At least AMD would have drivers for MacOS. If someone is going to go for a eGPU solution, then why not go for maximum compatibility.?

[@flickintassie]

Yeah if you want decent GPU performance with MacOS compatibility I would think you would be better off going with a AMD Vega based card in an eGPU enclosure.

[@rezyxilar4906]

egpu.io has scripts you can run to enable Nvidia web drivers in MacOS. It's not exactly plug-and-play like AMD cards with MacOS, but it works.

It’s enough to get a gtx1060 or 1070 since you’re limited by PCIe 4x bandwidth and CPU throttling. Just because you can afford rtx2080 doesn’t mean you should get it.

[@wocaomade]

100% agree with you. With current revision of thunderbolt, the better the GPU the higher the performance loss in percentage. something like a 1060 makes the most sense.

[@anirudhmallikarjun7067]

Apple has some magic with there thunderbolt 3 connection which allows you to use 2 or 3 ports bandwidth.

[@TaskerTech]

Totally agreed. Actually it's more likely to bottleneck even an 1060.

I wish, this year AMD should slap Intel's Thunderbolt 3 with their open-source PCIe i/o technology with full extent x16 solution. e.g. FreeSync & FreeSync 2 in case of display tech...

Great video! Will this actually work on a Mac Mini 2020 also? I work mainly on Mac, but still want to play Windows games in my spare time. This would be great so i wouldnt need to buy 2 Systems and i still have a GTX 1080 lying around to be used.

[@topperdude2007]

Well done! One of the few videos showing the 2018 Mac Mini with an eGPU. I noticed, however, that the HDMI cable was disconnected after the eGPU was hooked up. That is great as long as using Windows. However, when going back to MacOS, does this solution work with the eGPU or does it mean the user would have to unplug the displayport and plug the HDMI port between the MacMini and Monitor? It can get a bit annoying especially if the monitor ports are not as easily accessible (e.g. if wall mounted etc.). Thanks!

[@gryphon123456]

I love you guys!!!! I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!! So what would the delta be using this card on a dedicated windows pc vs the Mac mini with egpu? Is there much of one at all? Thank you so much for being the first to show that this would work well with an Nvidia egpu. Tonite the Mac side of things do you have to change the inputs?

[@narutodayo]

That has got to be the worst price to performance windows PC ever created.

[@stevobelfi1]

Bootcamp windows* And when did a Mac user ever care about performance? XD

[@kebbinator]

Not necessarily. If, like myself, you already own a Mac Mini, it's far cheaper to buy an eGPU than it is to build (or buy) a whole secondary PC. If you were to build a PC for equal to or cheaper than the eGPU enclosure, you would be far more bottlenecked by the cheap CPU and low memory than you would be by the TB3 bandwidth.

[@marksapollo]

narutodayo not really, you get OSX for everyday use, then Windows for gaming. You can also I think if you go the AMD route, play games with an EGPU in a Windows virtual machine in OSX, not sure what the performance hit is though. If your buying a high end graphics card for a PC build anyway, then an EGPU box can cost from 250, a lot cheaper then the components of a high end PC.

[@APhamx7]

Just like PC, the smaller it is the more expensive it is.. What is PC's competition for a 6 core, up to 64 GB of ram (upgradable) system of this size? Yes you lose out on the soldered nvme, but you also already have the top of the line i7 8th gen proc. I by no means like apple, but you need to be fair.

How does 2080 ti work on MAC OS? Huge performance or no? Did you guy test?

[@mj-np9sy]

For everyone completely confused, the point of this is for people like myself who use OSX professionally (nearly every developer I know), don't like Windows, don't like Linux on the desktop and want to just flip to Windows to play a game at full fidelity once a week then flip right back to OSX when done. And no, I don't want to build a hackintosh anymore. I've built hackintoshes for a decade. I'm sick and tired of wasting a weekend every 6 months when my hackintosh (which I'm currently typing this on) breaks. And I don't even remotely need what a Mac Pro comes with (ECC ram, etc). I don't want an iMac because I already have 34" monitors. I already own a GTX1080. Now I just need a mini and an egpu. Yeah, we're not a huge market but this is one of the reasons something like this exists. So the Mac Mini with an egpu will makes a great machine for someone like me.

the price of the egpu along is 300-400 bucks, in fact thats how much i build my node 202 setup, i3 8100 = 100 16gb 3600mhz ram = 100 node 202+ 450w psu = 100 mini itx mobo = 100 big difference is this setup doesnt have the egpu penalty tb3 have. and no cpu throttling either. i know building is not for everything but my situation it worked out quite well. plus i don't have to put my mbp through intense heat cycle everytime i wanna game.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Nice! Rise of the Tomb Raider Benchmark would be a good one to run to compare the mini with egpu to other systems although the ultra wide monitor kinda changes the playing field as its pushing a lot of pixels so one would need the same monitor to compare your frame rates / performance. The EGPU is def way to go if you want to game with the new mini. I have an old 2010 12 core mac pro with a flashed 980ti, its a pretty sweat gaming setup in windows running at 2k. I just can't update to Mojave due to lack of drivers but for the money its hard setup to beat.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@by_turluttu Afraid not as you can't just flash the card you need to install a larger memory chip to fit the bios from what I gather. Not as simple as flashing a R9 280x for example. But you can buy on ebay for around $350

[@MTJY69]

I did this to my MacBook pro with aorus gaming box and the only downside is that you're required to have an external monitor. To enable it on the internal, it requires a script that is buggy as hell. Besides that, some people manage to do some boot up changes to make the system recognize the gpu.

I found this video to be quite interesting as I plan to use my Macbook with an eGPU and was leaning towards the Vega 64 since it is the fastest properly supported GFX card onthe Mac. However, I am interested inteh RTX 2080 as I wil be doing some gaming via BootCamp (~15%-20% gaming vs Creativity/Productivity.) I am comiong form the PC and I am an Adobe Creative Cloud user, and wanting to jump into doing some video work of my own. I am a novie at both Final Cut PRo and Adobe PRemiere and was looking to go the route of FInal CUt as my first video editor (THus IO was leaning towards teh Vega 64) My question, is how does FInal Cut Pro perfom with nVidia Cards? I realize FCP is optimized for AMD and AMD will be much faster, but thew qestion is "How much faster?" I would LOVE to see a copmparison of Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere on Vega 64 vs FCP & AP on RTX 2080.

I am simply considering buying egpu but thinking to leave my Mac mini 2018 as is and buy pc box or buy egpu box and save on other PC internals in this case. Would it harm with overheating to Mac cpu in this case or wearing out cpu fan very fast?

[@jrasero23]

So where to begin... sure if you must have a Mac Mini (PC) gaming machine then yeah an EGPU really is your only option unless you believe cloud gaming catches on. The problem is is that an EGPU is at least $300 and that RTX 2080 XC Ultra is a $800 GPU making that an $1100 addition just to game. For some $1100 is well worth it to get very good frames at 1440P, but you got to remember that with TB3 and an EGPU you are loosing about 15% of performance so that RTX 2080 card really is performing in between a GTX 1080 Ti and a GTX 1080. Honestly once you added that 1TB TB3 external HD which is at least another $300+ at $1400 for a total system you have lost me at that point I'd rather just build a SFF PC for maybe $100-$200 more with really great specs: Node 202 $80, Ryzen 2700X $270, MOBO $150, Cooler $30, RAM DDR4 3000 $130, 1TB M.2 SATA $130, PSU Corsair SF600 $120, EVGA RTX 2080 BE $700, W10 Home key $13= $1623. Sure that's still $223 more but honestly you get the full power of a RTX 2080 albeit it's a Black Edition so it's a lower binned car with a much smaller heat sink, but you get a fairly small SFF PC that you can fully upgrade for years to come
