2018Mac Mini & eGPU
Happy New Year, Apple Community!
I have a 2018 Mac Mini; 6-core i5, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM with an external drive for project & document storage, a 43" Philips 4K UHD TV is my main display–the TV was on sale for a lot cheaper than even a 27" FHD monitor & I'm really liking having such a large screen, I also use a 19" 720p HDTV as a 2nd display (for project assets, online reference search, etc..). I'm considering an eGPU and this is my question, "Is it possible/a good and reasonable idea to continue to use the Mini's internal GPU to run my displays and connect/use an eGPU just for running renders (video, 3-D models, etc...)?"
Anyone with thoughts, suggestions or actual experience, please feel as free as you may, to tell me what you think. The eGPU would just be for these sorts of things, otherwise the Mini as it currently is, handles what I do and works quite wonderfully! Thanks for any assist/info.
