MacOS Big Sur not using GPU with Unity 2020

As already described by other users here (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252913154) - without solution - Unity 2020 onward is not using the Radeon GPU in Big Sur, which leads to performance issues. It worked in Catalina. More about this also here (https://forum.unity.com/threads/macos-not-using-discrete-gpu-no-matter-why-i-do.1133725/)

Did anyone find a solution for this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

Missing option to prefer external gpu I am using a Sonnet EGPU with a Radeon RX570 (8GB), connected with Thunderbolt 3 on a 2018 Mac Mini, 32GB RAM 2667MHz, 3,2GHz processor. I do have "Prefer External GPU" menu in every app info box, except in iMovie. I've reset preferences, restarted Mac, tried to force using eGPU with set-egp.sh script with no luck... I'm exporting a 11GB movie with Intel UHD Graphics 630 with 1536MB... still waiting for Mac to finish. Very sad! None gave a solution to the previous (and old) thread. Please help!!!

Mac Studio M1 Ultra GPU glitch Hello everyone, I've had Mac Studio for about a week, in a M1 Ultra 64 core GPU configuration. I just discovered a problem when working with the 3D software Cinema4D (versions R25, R26 and 2023). When the software is on, it does GPU glitches even in macOS finder windows and dock. When I turn it off everything is OK. I also experienced something similar when working in Unity 2021, but only two times and for a few milliseconds. GPU benchmarks like Cinebench or Geekbench 5 don't do these problems. Maya and Blender is also fine. Do you think it's just a bug in the software and poor optimization for M1 Ultra, or could my M1 Ultra be faulty one? Is there anyone with the same Mac Studio who could try a trial version of Cinema4D? My configuration: Mac Studio M1 Ultra, 64core GPU, 64Gb memory and 1Tb storage. macOS Monterey 12.6 Apple Pro Display XDR Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjskhL-XYlo

MacBook Pro 2018 Big Sur eGPU AMD Radeon RX 580 problem, no display output Hi, just upgraded to Big Sur but my eGPU is not working properly anymore. It connects and appears in activity monitor, programs are launched but gives no display, just a blank screen. Rest of the program is still working, but no output. I'm running Big Sur on a MacBook Pro 2018 with an external Thunderbolt Display, the AMD Radeon RX 580 is mounted in a Razer Core X which connects to my MacBook Pro via USB-C. Everything worked fine in Catalina. Does someone know a fix for this problem? Thanks in advance!
