  External GPU with new MacBook Pro??

  Posted by Tom Sefton on November 21, 2016 at 11:12 am

  Through social media I get to watch what the guys at Red are doing, and recently someone performed an independent test using a new MacBook Pro, a dell laptop and a Razr. It seemed as though the indications were that aside from a red rocket, external GPUs weren’t enabled on the new MacBook Pro. Can anyone confirm?

  I am reading that on REDUSER that an external was being used.

  I have a ROCKET card but only use it on set for quick dailies.
