As such, I went for the lower HW with AMD and it works OOB smoother than Nvidia ever worked (even though they have better HW) - low quality drivers impact a lot. I don’t use CUDA, but I do need eGPU for Video and Photo editing. If you plan on using CUDA - go to Windows and PC, you’re on a safer path that way. Now there’s the churning long wait for them to release new drivers and when they will be ready Mac OS 15.0 will be around the corner. They just didn’t focus on the drivers for Mac as much. I am sure Nvidia did work during the Beta period.
:) Replace weeks with months and probably you will be closer. Please stay tuned for 6 or 9 weeks until I come again with another post
