Apple-recommended AMD Graphics Cards for eGPU Use - macOS High Sierra 10.13.4+

[John V]

Thanks John V. I enabled Develop menu, but can't find Debug menu nor Drawing/Compositing Flags. Where I should look from?

Enable Safari's Debug Menu

1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
2. Enter the following command line into Terminal. You can copy/paste the text into Terminal (tip: triple-click in the line of text below to select the entire command), or you can simply type the text as shown. The command is a single line of text, but your browser may break it into multiple lines. Be sure to enter the command as a single line in Terminal.
   1. defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
3. Press enter or return.
4. Relaunch Safari. The new Debug menu will be available.

Now the official recommended list also includes PowerColor. Has anyone here tested their graphics cards?

Their RX 460-580 cards worked very well in early testing in Sierra.

Hello everyone, I just build a Hackintosh for Photoshop on an Intel Core i7-8700, ASUS Maximus X Hero and 32GB RAM. It works like a charm with macOS 10.13.4 but some things in Photoshop are just taking like forever. I think some of the tools need GPU acceleration to work better. I'm looking for a GPU that runs out of the box and can drive 2 FullHD displays.
What I've read here I should opt for a RX 570 or RX 580, right? What do you think?

I'd opt for the Sapphire RX 580 8GB Pulse. Works OOB.

I can get the 4GB version for almost 50€ cheaper. Do you think the 4GB version is problematic?

Not a help thread. Please do your research.

Slightly less performance is all.
