Blackmagic eGPU Pro based on the AMD RX Vega 56 for Apple MacBooks costs $ 1.199

Announced Blackmagic eGPU Pro external graphics card that is based on an AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and is intended for Apple computers.

For a long time we had known nothing about the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 or about the RX Vega that seemed amortized and forgotten by the company but in a few days a version appears for Apple's MacBook Pro and now an eGPU version (external graphics card) also for Apple computers. Specifically, we are talking about the Blackmagic eGPU Pro solution developed by Blackmagic Design based on the RX Vega 56.

Blackmagic Design develops the Blackmagic eGPU Pro based on the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56.

The very beautiful design chassis hides an AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 that integrates a total of 3584 Stream Processors, 224 TMU and 64 ROP, accompanied by two memory stacks that add up to a total of 8GB HBM2 @ 1600MHz and thanks to the memory interface 2048 bits is capable of offering a bandwidth of 409.6GB / s.

This solution has been developed for those who have a laptop or an Apple computer with a few years and require additional graphics power, which we will only obtain if our computer has Thunderbolt 3, since it is the only way to connect and enjoy this external graphics card .

Regarding the characteristics of this device, the graphics is hidden inside and in terms of connectivity it has two Thunderbolt 3, a DisplayPort, two HDMI 2.0, a fast charging port of up to 85W thinking of MacBook and a total of four ports USB 3.1.

The design of this solution has been in direct collaboration with Apple and although it has been developed especially for the company's products from the bitten apple, it is also compatible with Windows systems. Blackmagic Design is selling this Blackmagic eGPU Pro external graphics card for a total of $ 1.199, a price that is a real bullshit.
