Hi,
I've recently built my first eGPU: Sonnet Breakaway Box and AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100.
I ran the (purge-wrangler and set-eGPU) scripts without any hassle, then toggled the "Prefer External GPU" option on the apps as expected. Everything went perfectly, but here's the issue:
When I run apps the discrete GPU still takes the lead, the eGPU barely runs (as seen through Activity Monitor's GPU History.)
Would anyone have a clue why this is happening, and what I can do to solve it? I'm on a Late 2015 Retina 5k iMac, running macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
Any hints or insights on this issue would be much appreciated.
All the best.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.

@reddot, Not all apps have support/optimization for eGPU. The surest way is to use an external monitor (primary) connected to the eGPU.
