More idle curiosity than anything else, as I've moved on, BUT... is there a definitive answer on how many eGPUs MP 6,1 supports under Mojave yet?
MP 6,1 | 4c | d700
MP 6,1 | 6c | d500

Guys, any of you use razer synapse on macos?
is it functional on mojave, only thing holding me back right now
I have a Razer Naga Chroma I use in boot camp and macOS, alongside my Razer Core v2 which can be RGB configured in windows only (tho you can sort of cheat and configure it in parallels by connecting it's usb device to the VM). Before Installing Mojave I ran the uninstaller and completely removed synapse. I installed the new version from razer's website after installing mojave. There was an additional step of going to the security & privacy control panel in system preferences, going to accessibility and putting a check next to rzdeviceengine. This is due to new whitelisting preventing unapproved software from interacting with the UI subsystem.
It works (for me) as well as it did in High Sierra. The DPI settings and button mappings do not match between windows and macOS, so I immediately put the mac synapse offline. Additionally, it does not normally configure or detect my naga til I open the MacOS Synapse window and unplug and plug in the mouse after logging in. If I do not do this it uses the default dpi and button mappings. I have read horror stories about the razer driver causing issues on mojave during login for certain razer devices but aside from the above mentioned quirks its been fine for me.

As a general stability comment, Mojave has worked pretty well with AMD GPU in testing. Behavior / stability similar to 10.13.4+. Only thing I noticed was it can take longer to eject the eGPU so don't shut it down and pull the TB3 cable until the eGPU screen goes totally blank and the main screen resumes focus.
Bring peace to your computing life: stop trying to understand Apple.
10.14.1 Beta 1 is available to developers. No significant changes at first glance. Build is 18B45d.

Also Mojave has faster Metal drivers, I get better fps in all games, same thing with the old OpenGL.

FCP 10.4.3 is stable.
The performance in the edition is worse than 10.3. The export is something better, tested with Bruce X and GH5 4K project
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
.
@nanobit Hotplug should work if you plug in to the right hand side port, and have anything else unplugged. If you plug in something to the remaining right side port, eGPU may disconnect. After hot-plugging eGPU, you can plug in stuff on left side ports. This also means no need to disable dGPU.
You can read more about the investigation from this post onwards.
Got some good news! Since the Windows fall update the dGPU and the eGPU work perfectly together. Radeon and nVidia drivers are running side by side. Really awesome! (I connected the eGPU to the lower right port and an USB-C-HUB with Power Delivery to the upper right port)

What implications does this have for everyone with TB1/TB2 connections? Is this the Windows fall update that is getting a lot of attention for additional TB3 optimizations? Are we expecting these optimizations to trickle down to the TB1/TB2 peeps? Also, I assume this is a bootcamp install of windows?

Nothing I guess. I didn’t write anything about TB1/2 Macs so I don’t really understand what you want to hear.
And yes, Bootcamp (See signature)
