Using the Puck
Under macOS you can configure applications to use the Puck with one of the following
methods:
Support Note:
to accelerate Metal, OpenGL, and OpenCL applications that benefit from a powerful
eGPU. Not all apps support eGPU acceleration; check with the application's developer to
learn more.
• Use the Prefer External GPU Option
Starting with macOS Mojave 10.14, you can turn on Prefer External GPU in specific
applications' Get Info panels in the Finder. This option enables the Puck to accelerate
apps on your computer's internal display (if equipped) or any display connected to
the Mac. Note that you won't see this option when the Puck isn't connected or if the
application self-manages its GPU selection. Some applications will ignore the Prefer
External GPU checkbox and directly select which graphics processors are used.
• Set a Puck-connected Display as the Primary Display
If you have an external display connected to your Puck, you can choose it as the
primary display for all apps. Since applications default to the GPU associated with the
primary display, this option works with a variety of applications. If you disconnect the
Puck, your Mac defaults back to the internal graphics processor that drives the built-in
display. When the Puck is reconnected, the external display will automatically be set as
the primary display.
Support Note:
