Apple’s macOS 11.4 beta released, support for AMD’s three new GPUs
On April 22 before the official release of 11.3, Apple first pushed the first developer beta of macOS Big Sur 11.4.
Everyone can download the description file through the. App-Discover-Apple Profile, and download the new version of macOS Big Sur Beta through the “Software Update” in the “System Preferences”.
The current Apple Macbook only supports a few GPUs on the market, and even only Mac Pro provides a PCIe slot for graphics card installation.
The Intel-based MacBook and Thunderbolt 3 interface models can be connected to an external docking station and eGPU.
In macOS Big Sur 11.4 Beta1, Apple state that they added support for AMD’s three new GPUs. The new cards listed on the AMD Navi RDNA2 architecture are the 6800, 6800XT, and 6900XT series.
The external graphics card is limited to the Intel version, and the M1 Mac may not be able to support it for a long time. Although the future M series processors may add eGPU support, we still don’t know what Apple plans.
