BlackMagic eGPU not just for HDMI and Thunderbolt 3 displays, but also for any USB-C monit...
I discovered you can make some games use the eGPU to render on the internal display using a terminal command, e.g.
defaults write -app "Rise of the Tomb Raider" GPUSelectionPolicy -string preferRemovable
Gives me exactly the setup I want, a normal laptop using its normal screen, just with a graphics accelerator plugged in.

One new thing I have learned: to get the eGPU to "replace" the internal discrete GPU and become the default, you don't actually have to clamshell the laptop, you just have to open Display Preferences, Arrangement tab, and drag the little white menu bar on to the monitor that is connected to the eGPU.

Apple refreshes MacBook Pro with six-core processors, 32GB of RAM
I was also hoping for Vega, but with only an X added it must surely still be Polaris.tipoo said:Is there any detail anywhere on what the Radeon Pro 555X is?
Does the X just denote the 4GB VRAM in all tiers now, and the chip is largely unchanged from the 555? That's what it sounds like, I'm surprised there's no Vega though. The 555 in turn was the same as the 455, so the GPU itself is largely unchanged from the 2016 mid tier model.
