Hi Herbminke3,


Since your Blackmagic external GPU isn't working after updating your software, we recommend checking to see if it has a firmware update available.


"Here's how to update the firmware of your eGPU:

  1. Go to the Blackmagic website.
  2. Select the DaVinci Resolve, Fusion, and BlackMagic eGPU product family.
  3. Download and install the latest firmware for your eGPU."


These steps and more can be found in the article Use Blackmagic eGPU with your Mac.


We also recommend checking to ensure any apps and third party software are also running the latest versions. Outdated software can cause things to misbehave.


Hope that helps!
