The Vega Frontier specs are similar to the Radeon Vega 64 desktop GPU except it has twice the VRAM (16G) - matching the VRAM of our iMac Pro's Pro Vega 64.
The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier is not listed on the Apple eGPU Support page but it worked fine for us in both the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway (475W GPU Max Power) and the AKiTiO Node Pro (400W GPU Max Power). However, the GPU reported a 40 to 60% load in the Syria and Geothermal phases. The Rise of Tomb Raider built-in benchmark consists of three phases: Mountain Peak, Syria, and Geothermal Valley.

" It produced a 82% to 355% gain over the internal FirePro 700.īTW, the eGPU boxes are not officially supported on the 2013 Mac Pro running macOS 10.13.4, but, with the help of the PurgeWrangler script in the Software section of egpu.io, we were able to get it working anyway.
We were especially encouraged by how much the eGPU with the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier GPU enhanced the Rise of Tomb Raider performance when connected to the 2013 Mac Pro "Turbo Tube.
The iMac Pro with the optional factory Radeon Pro Vega 64 was fastest running the benchmark at 1920x1080, but the 2010 Mac Pro with the GTX 1080 Ti edged it out at 2560x1440 and dominated at 3840x2160. In each case, we used High Preset with VSYNC OFF. The graphs below compare the Overall score from the built-in Rise of Tomb Raider Benchmark.
