Will Mac mini 2018 with Core X eGPU support 6700 xt?

Urgent, please help!

I’ve bought MSI 6700 xt Gaming X. However, my Mac mini 2018 seems cannot detect the graphic card. I’m using Core X eGPU.

I’m wondering whether 6700 xt is too new so that Big Sur cannot support now.

Thanks!

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

Is Mac Pro Tower compatible with NVidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphic card? Dears, We want to purchase Mac Pro Tower PCs with many specs for Designers, but my question is does Mac Pro Tower itself compatible with NVidia graphic cards or Mac Pro PCs are exclusive with AMD processors? And if it is compatible, does it require additional drives to operate the graphic card? Thank you all,

Thunderbolt 3 eGPU with the new Macmini9,1 (Mac mini M1 2020) I have just bought a Macmini9,1 (Mac mini M1 2020) with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD. The machine works fine. A year ago I bought a OWC Mercury Helios FX 650 Thunderbolt 3 eGPU Enclosure. To this I have added a Radeon VII 16G video card. This eGPU just does a very good job with my MacBook Pro 2019 (MacBookPro15,3). When I plug in the eGPU to my new Mac mini 2020 it 'sees' the OWC Mercury Helios FX 650 device. But I cannot see the Radeon VII graphics card. I have the suspicion that the Mac mini does not support eGPU devices as of the time being. Is this so?

The 6700XT is too new and does not have Big Sur drivers. (None of the RDNA2 have working Big Sur drivers yet).
