The manufacturer Blackmagic, puts at our disposal a wide range of external graphics cards to connect to our Mac if we want to get the most out of it. This manufacturer is one of the most popular among users, but not a graphics card manufacturerRather, it relies on third-party models to provide end-user solutions.
As we can read in 9to5Mac, Blackmagic has officially confirmed that the eGPU with the Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics It has left its catalog, due to the fact that AMD has stopped officially marketing it, although it is still possible to buy it through third parties in the United States. Bad news considering that it was the most powerful model that this manufacturer offered us.
However in the Spanish Apple Store, still for sale this external graphics model, and will likely remain so until Apple runs out of current stock. Its price is 1.359 euros and the availability is practically immediate.
The eGPU Pro with the Raden RX Vega 56 disappeared from Apple's online catalog last week in the United States, the first news confirming that this model had its days numbered on the market. Coincidentally, this is the most powerful model that this manufacturer offered us, a model that we could connect to any Mac through the Thunderbolt 3 port, which has a price (as long as Apple has stock) of 1.359 euros and offers very similar features to those that we can find in the iMac Pro.
The RX Vega 56 offered 8 GB of memory, 56 computing units and a processing speed of 1.1.56 MHz. Unlike the most basic external graphics, this one had a DisplayPort connection that allowed to connect 5K displays. If you were planning to buy one and you are not in Spain, it is likely that you can still find it available in third-party stores, such as Amazon.
