Apple Thunderbolt 3 support article states that the right-side Thunderbolt 3 ports on the 2016 & 2017 13″ Touch Bar MacBook Pro have lower bandwidth than the left-side ports. All PCIe lanes are routed through the platform controller hub (PCH). Prior to the 2020 13″ MacBook Pros which use Intel Ice Lake processors (on-die Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 controller) all ULV-processor Macs have no direct Thunderbolt 3 to CPU connection. * Indicates a Mac with discrete graphics card as standard equipment MacBook Pro (15-inch, T2 Chip, Mid 2018) * MacBook Air (13-inch, T2 Chip, Late 2018) MacBook Pro (15-inch, T2 Chip, Mid 2019) * MacBook Pro (16-inch, T2 Chip, Late 2019) * MacBook Air (13-inch, T2 Chip, Early 2020) Here’s the list of Thunderbolt 3 Macs that can work with eGPU in Boot Camp. They account for 16 total PCIe lanes directly off the CPU. The x4 PCI Express Controller connects to the right-side USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports (uses 4 PCIe lanes). The x8 PCI Express Controller connects to the left-side USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports (uses 4 PCIe lanes). The x16 PCI Express Controller connects to the Radeon Pro dGPU (uses 8 PCIe lanes). For example we used HWiNFO64 to check the arrangement of PCIe controllers and lane allocation on a Late 2016 15″ MacBook Pro (same as 2017 to 2019 model). Prior to setting up an external GPU, it’s a good idea to identify the routing of the PCIe connection over Thunderbolt 3 for your host Mac computer to learn about its capabilities. Therefore the ideal Boot Camp eGPU environment is an Intel iGPU-only Mac.Ģ018 15″ Macbook Pro + Radeon VII eGPU – Windows Graphics Settings

In a Mac that has an AMD discrete graphics card and no functional iGPU, you would need Windor newer. AMD XConnect/Nvidia Optimus provides internal display loopback acceleration through the Intel iGPU with a Radeon/GeForce eGPU. In order for automatic graphics switching to work, the crucial prerequisite is the Intel integrated graphics card.
