My first try, I followed all the guides and hardware.
Hardware:
- 13" MacBook Pro Early 2015, 2.7GHz Intel Dual Core i5, 8Gb 1867 DDR3
- Power Color Red Dragon RX570, 4GB, GDDR5
- Sonnet Breakaway 350 Developer Edition
- Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter
- 3 foot Apple Thunderbolt 2 cable
- Samsung Curve 32" Gaming Monitor
Software:
- MacOS 10.15.6
- purge-wrangler (click on purge-wrangler listed in the above Software Menu
Installation:
- Placed GPU into Sonnet Breakaway
- Connect power from Breakaway to GPU (I forget this step the first try and had to go back into the Breakaway)
- Hooked up Digital Display to Sonnet
- Hooked up Thunderbolt and Adapter
- Followed the steps (super easy) in the purge wrangler setup guide
And it worked right out of the box!
Next try, a Mac mini Late 2012

hey, how well is the performance of the RX 570 on your system? Can you show some benchmark results, thanks
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
