In contrast, if you buy a more powerful GPU, you'd be wasting money in the eGPU setup as the benefit between a 1060 and a 1070 is so small in the eGPU setup that it's not worth the price difference Just keep in mind that eGPU performance through Thunderbolt 1 is supposed to be around 40-50% of the full capacity of the GPU, in contrast of about 90% of a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU setu Anyway, to get to the point, can you use an eGPU with the Thunderbolt 1 port on this MacBook Pro? I've heard on some forums that you can, while others will say you can't.
I believe there is a similar topic about this but. Ma11:54 am I have a MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 and wanted to get an egpu to boost my graphics.
