Other eGPUs we've tested with the 2013 Mac Pro include the BizonBOXand Sonnet Breakaway (coming soon).Īn eGPU is not a perfect solution with its limited bandwidth and the fact that some apps ignore it. There is a website ( egpu.io) dedicated to telling about the eGPUs available and how to make them work with your Mac. As I write this article on our 2013 Mac Pro 8-core, I have an AKiTiO Node eGFX Boxwith a TITAN X GPU connected to one of the Thunderbolt 2 ports.
Even if Apple wanted to upgrade them, the Mac Pro's design created a wattage ceiling.Įven though you can't upgrade the two internal FirePro GPUs, you can now attach an external PCie expansion box (eGPU). “GPU - One key reason Apple is re-thinking the Mac Pro is because of the 2013 Cylinder's achilles heel: two mid-level GPUs that were proprietary, non-user serviceable, and non-upgradeable. The late 2013 can use eGPUs with some success: May 2020: read Adobe FAQ on eGPU use with Lightroom CCĬlick to expand.Correction, my good friend! Using Brushes with Gradient and Radial Filters.So if you are wondering what specific tools are accelerated, below is the full list:Īnd here is the list of specific tools and actions that are NOT GPU-accelerated: On top of that, not all the tools within the Develop module benefit from GPU acceleration either. GPU acceleration in Lightroom is only available within the Develop module, so no other modules, including the Library module, will be accelerated. What Is and Isn’t GPU-Accelerated in Lightroom I will then see to what extent I think PS is still slow.īe aware there’s not a lot of encouragement for use on Mac, brush adjustments aren’t implemented and generally reports are using CC not Classic!įeb 2020: I have found this for eGPU acceleration benefits for Lightroom CC version My 3D photoprogrammetry could also benefit from an eGPU so I am well motivated.įirst I am getting an SSD for scratch at either 1 or 2GB per second max if the stars are aligned, to me that means 400 MB/Sec in real life, no doubt. I would get an eGPU if it actually worked but so processes are reported to be slower.
2019 Adobe claimed to have improved that. References in 2018 found little benefit for LR for an external GPU, except in RAW adjustments and few specific actions, but not overall. I understand that the most obvious benefit is with a 4K monitor to adjust RAW in ACR.īTW, do you also have a late 2013 MacPro? That’s my model and I have just doubled the SSD to 480 GB and increased RAM from 16 to 64 GB to speed up Photoshop CC 2020. Tell us what processes in Lightroom and which version, (Classic or CC), concern you most?
