SAPPHIRE GearBox supports the following Operating Systems: Apple macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later / Windows 10 64-bit.External Graphics using AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards are supported on some systems, but not all Windows systems.RX 580 8GD5 Limited Edition / RX 580 8GD5 / 4GD5.Enthusiasts willing to accept the frame rate hit can expect their best value from an external graphics enclosure like SapphireвЂ™s GearBox. The alternatives donвЂ™t look much better, though. And at $259, youвЂ™re paying a premium on top of the cost of your add-in board. Just be aware that the reality of its implementation means youвЂ™re going to leave a lot of rendering horsepower on the table in exchange for a convenient external connection. If you have to choose between gaming on integrated graphics or a hobbled add-in card via Thunderbolt 3, the GearBox looks like an all-star. A couple of things could be tweaked for the next iteration, but for ВЈ274.99 this is probably the best value eGPU solution on the market right now. KitGuru says: If you want to go down the external GPU route, SapphireвЂ™s GearBox is a great all-round option. And it doesn't hurt that it looks good and is priced attractively, too. It also offers Gigabit Ethernet, multi-monitor capability and USB peripheral/storage support for an easy, single-cable transition between mobile and desktop environments. Being even-handed, the Sapphire GearBox does exactly what it says on the tin, with the minimum of fuss, and succeeds in its remit of enabling a number of IGP-only Ultrabooks/MacBooks to play games that are way out of the reach of the baked-in graphics.
