External GPU compatibility improvements in macOS 10.13.4 first beta

The version of macOS 10.13.4 promises to bring great news, if we take into account the amount of news presented in the first beta of the operating system. We are expected to see the final version of the next stable macOS update in the spring, and by now Apple has a stable version of the operating system.

On this occasion, we talk about the new features in the compatibility of external GPU configurations. Therefore, if you value a complement of these characteristics to improve the performance of your MacBook Pro in terms of the performance of a graphics card when you work on your desktop, here is an important news.

The most notable improvements observed in this beta are the following:

• We can connect our external GPU, no need to log out. We connect it as if it were just another peripheral.
• In the upper task bar, we find a new button, which allows us to eject the GPU.
• The beta version of macOS 10.13.4 now correctly recognizes the Radeon Vega 64 GPU in the system information.
• Optimization comes to the performance of the connected GPUs. Vega 64 GPU fans no longer run at full speed.

In any case, Apple should improve other functions, to provide that quality service, since the users who use these functions are usually professionals. They are the topics related to: Stability, rendurance graphics and improvements when controlling the internal screen.

The operation is generally correct, but there are still many things to improve with the implementation of these external GPUs in the Mac ecosystem. However, so far we have nothing to reproach Apple that promised to support external GPUs in the first of 2018 and is meeting deadlines. The problem is related to the abandonment of this sector since it launched the Mac Pro in 2013, until the release of the MacBook Pro at the end of 2016. This gap is what Apple is trying to close, this year with the iMac Pro and we will see con brings us in 2019 with the new and anticipated Mac Pro.
