The same thing is happening with me on my Macbook Pro.
Chipset Model: Radeon RX Vega 64 External
Chipset Model: Radeon Pro 560X Internal
I am on VW 2020, just upgraded OS to Catalina, and VW will not use ANY GPU if i have the external plugged in. If I unplug it and only use the internal, VW functions great.
I have been using VW since 2012 and had an external GPU since late 2018 without issue. Haven't found anything indicating a problem other than a few posts on this forum. VW tech support didn't have any suggestions other than to call Apple yesterday.
