Its only about 4 years old? Might not have liked the 60Hz output. It seems my amplifier was the block from seeing any video from the eGPU HDMI out. So I guess I should say H264 in an mov container?!! So this was unsatisfying and I went searching for HDMI out from the eGPU Radeon VII. This happened for old MTV music videos in mov format to new 4k video in mov format. Something in that chain couldn't handle the bandwidth. The only thing I can conclude was the video was being sent to the eGPU then back through the T-bolt cable to make its way out the MacPro's HDMI out. I set "prefer eGPU" in the app info and played around with all the settings I could think of. Computers passed me by a long while ago! Gone are the days of building, and understanding, them in a fairly intimate manner. I'm not a rocket scientist so I'm just sharing thoughts. Thanks for reading! And for the help in setting this up! Although I suppose I will find this out in the preferences of the program I am using (Premiere Pro, Final cut, After Effects, etc.) How to send tasks to the eGPU for processing/rendering. How to use more than 1 monitor with the eGPU. How to get the remove (disable) eGPU menu idem back. The boot process and overall system response seems zippier. I haven't got to the editing and re]ndering phase here so I'll need to report back. Now temps are at 94 to 97 with light work. Of course, lower temps when doing light work like writing this post. Before eGPU temps would range from 99 to 115 no matter the load on the system. I have an old Radio Shack probe temp gage with the probe stuck inside the top of the Trashcans lip. Other observations to come but I have noticed the system is running cooler. The byproduct here is that menu item is no longer there? So should I re-install the GPU with PurgeWrangler? So again, I guess turning on/off the eGPU must be added to my startup/shutdown sequence of actions? This did not work as the fans started at computer shutdown immediately. Thinking that might be what the "remove eGPU" menu item was for I re-booted and after waiting a fair amount of time I removed (disabled) the eGPU fro the pulldown and shut off the computer after my monitor blanked conforming the eGPU had been removed. I guess there is no auto off or sleep on this setup and I will have to physically turn off the eGPU after shutting down the computer each session? Not knowing if this was just a coldown process I let them go for around 20minutes and figured the Razer would shut down the box and wait for the next computer session. But when I turn off the system the eGPU card fans would go to high speed. I got bold and added all the other external connections after arriving at the monitor config.

Here's what has happened and some limited observations and questions. So I did my homework AFAIK and choose my components. Hello all and thank you for showing me the light on eGPU use! We shall see if it pays off in my application.From everything I've read it should.
