First, thank you so much to everyone in this community. I appreciate the time and effort everyone has put into the extensive knowledge here. It has made a huge difference in getting my eGPU running, and extending the life/functionality of a beloved machine.
My question:
Should I be using automate-eGPU EFI or purge-wrangler with my setup?
My setup:
Mackbook Pro 9,1 (Mid-2012, non-retina): 2.7GHz Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel 4000 & Nvidia GeForce GT 650M
macOS 10.14.6 Mojave
eGPU: Razer Core X Chroma, Saffire Radeon RX 580
Context of my question:
I'm following in the footsteps of the kind genius of @gaerraty and their guide, as I too feel that for my use case, I need to sleep and wake the machine.
The guide calls for:
2. purge-nvda
3. Creating an EFI boot that removes the dGPU from the setup process
I get the feeling that automate-eGPU EFI may cover steps 1 & 3, but would do so with the nice other features of automate-eGPU EFI. Such that the steps would be:
2. purge-nvda
3. NVDAGPUWakeHandler
Or, I could be completely wrong and doing NVDAGPUWakeHandler in combination with automate-eGPU EFI may cause the whole thing to blow up.
I have tested both automate-eGPU EFI w/purge-nvda and purge-wrangler w/purge-nvda and both configurations work great for me. I am very thankful and happy for the folks that contributed to them all.
Any thoughts are welcome, and thank you again for all of your support and knowledge sharing.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
