Which version of macOS supports RX 5500 XT eGPU?

I'm now using MacBook Pro with macOS 10.14.6, and planning to equip with a RX 5500 XT eGPU. However, referencing to the official support page (Use an external graphics processor with your Mac - Apple Support), it is not mentioned. So I wonder which version of macOS supports RX 5500 XT eGPU.


By the way, as an alternative, does macOS 10.14.6 support RX 580 2048sp or RX 590 GME eGPU? I asked this because RX580 (2304sp) and RX590 are not provided in my region.

I’d suggest using one of the recommended units, the closest being the AMD RX 5700 XT (you’d need to upgrade to 10.15 Catalina). If a card is not listed on the linked page, it’s likely because it’s not supported.
