MohammedSayed Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I am using Macbook Pro 15, early 2011 , osX el captain, intel hd 3000, dgpu amd 6750M, 16gb ram egpu - gigabyte AMD 7970 HD Gpu card i was able to install it without any issue. i have setup the external monitor as primary i don't see any gpu performance. when i put to rendering it use lots of cpu. and it takes even longer. How do know Final Cut x or compressor is using my egpu for rendering? what kind of test i can do? thank you for your help Edited March 10, 2016 by MohammedSayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Final Cut might not work with eGPUs yet. Try rendering apps like Blender or Octane: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MohammedSayed Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) @Dschijn thats a bad news , the only reason i have a egpu was to speed up the Final Cut rendering what is the consequence if i haven't make the barrel plug and only using akitio dc adapter to power up. the cord of the barrel is too short thats why haven't figure out to make a long one.

Dschijn Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Using the AKiTiO PSU might end up in three ways: - you are lucky an it is working - one of your PSUs will blow up / or the electronics of the AKiTiO - the GPU will constantly crash The AKiTiO is way too weak and can cause ground loops. The risk of a not propperly working system is given and we try and preach here: Use a modded barrel plug and power the whole setup from a single 12V source!!!1111eleven Since FC isn't even working with most cards by just adding them (e.g. in a classic MacPro) you need to do some modifications to the software! With an eGPU it might get even more tricky. You can keep trying, but I haven't read about any confirmed FC eGPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dschijn Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Haha, yeah THAT guy. He also just cooking with water. His hardware is just a AKiTiO with GPU and PSU. His software is goalques script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
