[Bf-committers] MacBook Pro 2020 +eGPU +RX5700xt +Blender Cycles Problem

[Jake Juip]

Hello Blender,

Yesterday I received the Razer Core X <https://egpu.io/go/razercorex> with an AMD RX5700 <https://egpu.io/go/amdrx5700> XT Graphics card to use with Blender 2.92. Unfortunately, Cycles will not recognize this eGPU in the Blender System Cycles render device Preferences.

Whenever I instruct Cycles to render with my GPU Compute device, my Mac's fans start whirring, indicating that my integrated GPU is rendering, and not my eGPU.

Does anyone know how to render with an eGPU?

Thanks!
