external GPUs not being used at all in Vw


jwp

Recommended Posts

So we have about 8 2013 mac pros with upgraded Ram to 32gb..  Client said that VW has been sluggish.  so i decided to try an EGPU,  purchased a 6600xt  setup the EGPU , works, no issues,   right clicked on major apps, "prefer EGPU"  open VW and a file,  Activity monitor shows 1% gpu usage of the 6600xt.    this was taken off the VW website "

In general, the more powerful your graphics card is, the better your Vectorworks experience will be."

so why is the CPU doing all the work when i have. pretty decent (much better than the 2g stock GPU) graphics card?

From google searches windows has an option to use GPU instead of CPU, but i can not find anything on the Mac version.



anyone have any tips?

2020 is the version most are using, some are 2021..   

also i think the sluggishness was from Unreal engine or another app, that has something to do with a kitchen or stove in the name.. (im having a brain fart)
