IMac Pro
Hello, I see you're experiencing some issues with your setup. It seems the system is trying to boot into AMD RAFIC despite having a Core v2 processor. You might want to check the BIOS settings or ensure your graphics drivers are correctly configured for the Core v2. Also, verify that the 1080Ti GPU is properly recognized and not interfering with the boot process.
It's currently up to date, running version 10.13.4. I purchased two Apple iMac Pro and MacBook Pro models, but the Razer Core isn't working. I followed the instructions from the website—drivers were installed and the Nvidia logo appeared—but when connecting to the EGPU it still shows "I'm using Intel graphics cards."
Why add a 1080ti through an EGPU? The X4 restrictions will bring its performance close to the Vega 64... I’d keep the core and the 1080ti if you bought it outright.
It's true, 16GB of Vega Pro doesn't perform well for gaming. You're seeing low frame rates and high latency, which makes it feel sluggish. It's not great for games like Dota 2 or World of Warcraft, and even basic performance is hit-or-miss. Unless you're doing rendering tasks, it's not worth the investment.
You're facing another problem... It seems the built-in card isn't working well. Maybe these games are designed for a single-threaded setup, so even a moderately clocked 2.3 GHz processor (possibly Xeon) won't be great, but it should still manage 2-16 FPS.
I'll share it with you soon and let you know what's not working. Matchbook Pro seems to be the option—core V2 fans are active, but I can't access the cards.
