Apple and NVIDIA ended their relationship, when Apple quietly stopped their support for CUDA (Parallel computing platform & API model for NVIDIA GPUs) with the release of macOS 10.14 Mojave. After that all the future MacOS releases didn’t have any support for CUDA.

If you are a fortunate Macbook Pro owner with Thunderbolt 3 Port & Intel processor chip read further whereas If you own a Macbook pro with (M1 / M2 chips) you cannot use it with NVIDIA eGPU.

So how can we use NVIDIA eGPU with Macbook Pro ??

The answer is Windows !!!

Yes, you can install windows on a separate partition in your Macbook pro using bootcamp. I have given the detailed instructions in my other medium post on how to install & configure it.

After you installed windows using Bootcamp, the next step is to create a boot drive with Fat32 format for the automated-eGPU-EFI boot manager for booting into Windows. This helps in enabling the eGPU support for your Macbook Pro.
