1025 Will a Sonnet eGPU accelerate internal video on a Mac?Jun-21-21
If you are using macOS 10.14.6+, you can accelerate applications with the external GPU (if they support GPU acceleration)...
• Select the app in Finder
• Get Info
• Check Prefer External GPU

Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro automatically use the eGPU when appropriate. Do not select Prefer External GPU for these applications.

Some professional applications let you select the external GPU (or multiple GPUs) in their preferences.
