I have a IMAc with the M1 chip, but when working with some more complicated models the UI render lag is getting pretty annoying. does a eGPU fix the UI render lag? or is it just the ending finished render that it speeds up?

maybe you should turn on "statistics" and tell us, how many vertices you have? [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jSNQJ.png It depends on your model and (!) your computer. Even the fastest computer of the world would lag if you have a complicated model with 10 Billion vertices...So i would say: it depends...But for sure we cannot tell you with the information you gave us. – Chris Nov 05 '21 at 14:45

The M1 doesn't support any eGPU's... (M1 here, tried it already btw). – brockmann Nov 05 '21 at 18:34

@brockmann To be precise the M1 hardware supports eGPUs via PCIe using Thunderbolt 3. Apple's M1 Mac/OS drivers are also perfectly capable of using an eGPU. Apple simply disabled the ability. – Marty Fouts Nov 06 '21 at 00:04
