Hi, I am running an M2 MacBook in my server setup so I can connect to it via parsec. I was wondering if you are able to put usb-c or thunderbolt PCIE cards into an egpu (usb c to pcie) enclosure and use them connected to the laptop?
If so, what cards are compatible with macOS and what enclosures are compatible.
Thank you!
The ARM series Macbooks don’t support external GPUs.
I don’t want to put graphics cards in, just some other PCIE cards
Not sure what you’re trying to do - Thunderbolt can be daisy chained so not sure why would need to put a TB card in the dock.
The enclosure is generally transparent to the OS. It just sees the devices plugged.
TechnoTim on youtube a video on rack mounting his Mac Mini (M1 model) and used an external chassis and tried different cards without issue.
You’re probably going to limited by Apple’s support (for example you can’t put in a nVidia graphics card in).
