I have the Gigabyte Aorus and it kicks much butt. So long as your macbook has thunderbolt 3 eq. to 40mb/s. nice to gain additional connection options for monitors with G-sync as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he properly load drivers etc. He is also reviewing the rx580 card. I personally own the 1070 nvidia version. He may have not been utilizing full 40mb/s as he would've needed to perform some benching to ensure its proper function. Take a look at the comments, some educated responses there I can say from personal experience using Thea Render that the card decreased time to render from 17 hrs to 3 hours utilizing the pascal features of the card. A world of difference in my intended use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
