With this upgrade in hardware – my Scopebox machine now also doubles as an assist station, and is great for ProRes remote rendering. A mac mini with a powerful eGPU makes a very inexpensive, yet powerful assist station. The Mac doesn’t care at all that nothing is connected to the internal GPU, and software recognizes and uses the Vega just fine. I had some worries that this may pose a problem, but it’s worked completely smoothly. This means the internal mac mini GPU is totally idle, the display for the mac is driven right off the Vega64. The eGPU is connected as the mac’s only display output. So I’ve replaced it with a new, top spec Mac Mini – and a AMD Vega64 GPU in an eGPU chassis.
