Getting it to work in Bootcamp is much more difficult and requires executing some code. Getting the Mac Mini to work in OS X Mojave is the easiest process so I would start with that. With a 1070 it manage a weak boost to 57/min.īut with an egpu you will never hear the fan in the Mini again.Have a look at eGPU.io to get started. Same files with a 970 on same Mac mini over TB1 does 55/min. After that the TB1 begin to starve the card.Įxport 18MP raw to 18MP jpeg highest quality with mac mini i7 itself does 22-ish per minute. The 1060 deliveres most bang for buck for gamers. If casual gaming is of interest as well the 1050ti or 1060 could be considered. The only benefit is that the 1070 can drive a slightly higher resolution screen without slowing down in games.īut the weak side of the 10-series are the beta drivers at the moment.Ī 780ti, 970/80 for processing performance works good and it does games well and is very stable. You gain only a few percentage in conversion pwrformance with the 1070 bust cost is very high for those fractions. The 1070 va the 970 on a Mac mini i7 over TB1 is not worth it performance wise in C1.

The 980-series have good support and performs very well. The 970 is the most powerful in small form factor chassis. Has anyone here tried to use a modern eGPU (say nVidia 9xx or 10xx) with a Mac Mini 2012 (TB1)? How good/bad does it work, given the theoretical 10 Gbps bottleneck? Question 2: Assuming the external GPU or Hackintosh build works generally for my Mac needs, does Capture One have any particular incompatibilities making it a non-starter?īasically, when everything else is working with this non-traditional Mac setup, will Capture One work well as well? And which graphics cards have been shown to work well? (The support site only lists a handful for COP9 and more for COP8/7.don't know how up to date it is). Does anyone have any experience with these cards, on a Mac, in Capture One 10? Do they work well with OpenCL or are they incompatible (causing, as I've read, me to 'disable hardware acceleration')? Question 1: I'm considering a Nvidia 980 or 1060, or AMD RX480 or 580. Also, I think in general I can get this running.

Through the eqpu.io site I'm pretty confident I can get a card working well.Ģ) Hackintosh build. I would like to add a GPU at my desk and see a couple options:ġ) External Thunderbolt GPU chassis, either the Mantiz Venus or Akitio Node. I have a late 2016 MacBook Pro 13' with Touchbar. Now that Capture One has robust support for my 24mp Fujis, I'm moving in completely.
