Settings were 2560x1440 Fullscreen, high quality with anti-aliasing (fps_test=3), and using CIRCLE view. Using Terminal commands, we 'relived' a 2 minute flight of the SR-71 taking off low over pine trees and making a slow turn though broken clouds before doing a barrel roll. X-Plane 11 (OpenGL for macOS, DirectX for Windows) Using the built-in benchmark, we ran at 2560x1440 Fullscreen using High preset. Tomb Raider (OpenGL for macOS Direct X for Windows) The render time is tracked and displayed in total seconds. For our test we selected RenderTarget PT (Path Tracing). Our test scene is octane_benchmark.ocs (see 'Additional Downloads - Get some simple test scenes here). However, it only works with CUDA capable NVIDIA graphics cards.

and does so in a fraction of the time it takes with a CPU based renderer. This is a 'GPU only' standalone renderer that can process scenes created in and exported from Maya, ArchiCAD, Cinema 4D, etc. We chose CUDA rendering for the BMW GPU benchmark available in Blender Demo Files. If you choose OpenCL or CUDA, you can choose which GPU (or GPUs) to do the rendering.

You can set Compute Device set to OpenCL, CUDA, or CPU. Not all apps are sensitive to lower bandwidth as you will see in the some of the other graphs. This highlights the vulnerability of DaVinci Resolve to constricted bandwidth of the eGPU connection via Thunderbolt 2. Contrast that with the second bar where the main display was a Dell 5K U2715K display connected via DP cable to the TITAN Xp in the Node eGPU. NOTE: The top bar in the graph shows how much faster the TITAN Xp ran under macOS 10.12.6 Sierra when the main display was an LG UltraFine 5K display connected directly to the 2013 Mac Pro's TB2 port. GPU Processing mode can be manually set to OpenCL, CUDA, or Metal.

But our sadness turned to joy when MacVidCards sent us a TITAN Xp whose ROM enables eGPU on both High Sierra and Windows 10. But we were saddened when we could NOT run Pascal NVIDIA GPUs in an eGPU box. As of yesterday, we have a new version of CUDA (9.0.214) that works under High Sierra. We have High Sierra (macOS 10.13) NVIDIA web drivers. October 19th, 2017, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist
