External Graphic Card/Processor for 2011 Macbook Pro 13" Running Fusion 360

Anonymous

Hi,

 

I have been using Fusion 360 and have been experiencing graphics processing issues. Fusion has notified me of this and I can tell there are issues from practice. The 2011 Macbook pro has the graphics card sautered onto the logic board. However I think there may be options for an external graphic processor running through fire wire or thunderbolt. Are there any recommendations for external graphics card options that would work with Fusion ? 

 

Thanks

I've been interested in this as well but for a differnt reason (GPU based unbiased raytracing/rendering)

 

Firewire would not have the necessary data transfer rate for that to work, but Thunderbolt 3 would.

 

Here is an interesting thread on the Indigo Renderer Forum that could provide a few hints.
