I realise its really only out today, But ive got the BMD eGPU and Final Cut Pro dent get any advantage from whilst working in the timeline or on renders. Aside form using Resolve Is there any other apps that properly support eGPU's and does anyone hazard a guess as to when FCP will take advantage of this?

I don't have it, so I cannot test, but:
Are you using FCP X with an external display?
AFAICT the eGPU cannot readily be used to speed up the internal display (not without some trickery, at least).
If there is a way in the OS to select which GPU to activate, then I suppose that is what FCP X will use.
Also, not all operations can be sped up, of course, only those that rely (mostly) on the GPU. For CPU-bound operations will not see much of a difference, I suppose.
