HOW TO USE external GPU ON MAC (solution found)

[microunit]

To those of you looking how to use an external GPU for mac games on steam:

As you may have noticed, steam has destroyed all your hopes and dreams. Is this true? Yes. They suck, life is unfair. There is a solution, go to your steam and game apps in your finder you are looking for. Control click on the application and go under "Get info". Check the box that says prefer external GPU and do this for BOTH steam AND your game. This should force the game to use the eGPU the way you had it before.

Last step: buy a PC because gaming on a mac is like trying to race F1 on a bicycle, but until then, happy gaming.

As a side note for other players, after upgrading to Big Sur, I ran into some problems with my eGPU. Specifically, the games would load but the screen would remain black (I would hear the game's sound and see the game's cursor, and if I clicked in the right places, I could enter various menus; however, I could never see anything at all). While trying to solve the problem, I found people encountering similar problems in the forums on Blizzard's website and a couple other places. So, if any of you are having the same problem, I've found a reliable work-around.

The problem solved immediately when I connected to an external monitor (not using mirrored displays - haven't tried that yet). I am not sure why the eGPU no longer will play on my laptops screen, but it works perfectly when connected to an external monitor. Some people have been able to succeed using a "dummy" cable that runs out the box but isn't actually connected to anything (though this hasn't proven as consistent).

Good luck, gamers!

The crap you got to go through to play games on Mac, man. Mac used to be valid for games, but now it's like Apple just doesn't care anymore.
