  1. PROBLEM I have 2018 Mac mini with 16GB RAM — Intel UHD Graphic 630 — Two 1080 27" Dell monitors. I just purchased Home Designer 2021 Architecture. With such weak graphics card, it is not uncommon for the Spinning Wheel to appear when working in 3D. After some research from several Graphic Card websites, there are several solutions I am considering: 1. Purchase an iMac with 16GB Ram — Radeon Pro 560x w/ 4GB GDDR5 memory = $1800 2. BlackMagic eGPU: Radeon Pro 580 = $700 3. BlackMagic eGPU Pro: Radeon RX Vega 56 = $1200 CONCLUSION Option 1: Most expensive, and not practical since my Mac mini handles everything else very well. And performance is subpar to Options 2 and 3. Option 2: Performance Improvement is over 500% better compared my current internal GPU. Option 3: Improvement is over 1000% better. QUESTIONS 1. Would an eGPU be beneficial in solving my 3D rendering issues? 2. Would the BlackMagic eGPU be sufficient improvement vs the BlackMagic Pro? Thank you for any feedback.
