Therefore the ideal Boot Camp eGPU environment is an Intel iGPU-only Mac.Ģ018 15″ Macbook Pro + Radeon VII eGPU – Windows Graphics Settings Win10 1803+ provides manual graphics switching per app/game through Graphics Settings. In a Mac that has an AMD discrete graphics card and no functional iGPU, you would need Windor newer. AMD XConnect/Nvidia Optimus provides internal display loopback acceleration through the Intel iGPU with a Radeon/GeForce eGPU. In order for automatic graphics switching to work, the crucial prerequisite is the Intel integrated graphics card. Forum member Sky11 explained the three modes in Windows 10 (AMD XConnect, Nvidia Optimus, and Microsoft Hybrid Graphics) in this post.

Let’s discuss graphics switching in Windows briefly. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on Core X Chroma + RX Vega 64 LC + MacBook Pro + 49″ and 5K Monitors Ideally, users on macOS would see Metal, and Windows users would see D3D12. Legacy OpenGL: Legacy OpenGL means that Photoshop uses the previous generation of GPU technology.Metal: This is the preferred mode for macOS and means the user is taking full advantage of the most modern GPU APIs on that platform.This happens if you explicitly set the Technology Preference, " Older GPU Mode Pre 2016)", or if Photoshop determines that the software renderer is required for better stability. Software: Software rendering is a Windows-only mode that returns to the Direct X 11 renderer.D3D12: This is the preferred mode for Windows and means you can take full advantage of the most modern GPU APIS on that platform.The visual interface for many features like crop, selections, and transform will drop color borders or become harder to view (thinner). CPU: CPU mode means that the GPU isn't available to Photoshop for the current document, and all features that have CPU pipelines will continue to work, but the performance from GPU optimizations will not exist so these features could be noticeably slower, such as - Neural Filters, Object Selection, Zoom/Magnify, etc.Here's the list of available GPU modes in Photoshop:
