I've never seen it for myself but have heard that video is one of the areas where hard drive speed can actually make a difference in performance. The only other thing I can think of would be going with a faster hard drive if a ton of data is being accessed. For audio recording programs you can set things like this up to be able to record tracks at the right time if there's lag.īut as the other posters have said, your computer might not be up for it. I haven't used Virtual DJ before but with a lot of audio programs you can compensate for latency caused by signal travel and processing so I don't know if it would be possible to set it up so the video signal was sent out early and processed, then sent back so that it syncs with the music. But I have no idea how that would work performance-wise, at least if you're doing stuff on the fly. There are a number of products for external audio processing (firewire, USBs, even Expresscard/34) but doesn't seem to be much for video unless maybe you hooked up an external enclosure using Expresscard and added a standard PCI-express video card to the enclosure. Unfortunately I haven't come across anything either for external video processing.

Will any external video option help REDUCE the load on the MacBook CPU?Ĥ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM with Mac OS 10.6.4 I've done everything imaginable to reduce the CPU load - disabling dashboard, any unnecessary processes, Airport, Bluetooth, prefs, sharing - the list goes on. I am looking for a solution that will reduce the demand on the CPU and allow me to mix music videos - without buying a new computer, haha. The audio drops out = very bad! And loading songs on a deck really taxes the CPU to 100%, causing some audio dropouts too.

I'm testing DJ software (Virtual DJ) and trying to mix music videos with this Mac and when I mix videos (MPEG-4), the audio gets choppy - in the mix.

Drag the white menu bar to the box that represents the display that's attached to the eGPU.Is there an external video card that I can use for the Express Slot (or USB) that will reduce CPU load on the Mac? I do see some "USB to DVI" video cards online, but is there one for this slot? Has anyone used either a USB or Express Slot video card?.

Go to System Preferences > Displays, and select the Arrangement tab.

(This capability must be enabled by the application's developer.)įor best results with applications like 3D games, set a display that's attached to the eGPU as the primary system display:

Pro applications and 3D games that accelerate the built-in display of an iMac or MacBook Pro.

VR applications, when the VR headset is attached directly to the eGPU.

3D games, when an external monitor is attached directly to the eGPU.

Pro applications designed to utilize multiple GPUs.

In general, an eGPU can accelerate performance in these types of applications: Check with the application's developer to learn more.Īlso note that macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 doesn't support eGPUs in Windows using Boot Camp or when your Mac is in macOS Recovery or installing system updates.

However, not all applications support eGPU acceleration. EGPU support in macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 is designed to accelerate Metal, OpenGL, and OpenCL applications that benefit from a powerful eGPU.
