eGPU better utilization

I asked this question on the general discussion section. But I guess this is the right place.

Thanks for considering it.

[ORIGINAL POST]

So, based on what I have read, Capture one does support eGPU. I have attached one Radeon RX 5600 XT to my 2016 MBP 15''. Any other graphic intensive app runs flawlessly. Now C1 does gets "better", but still is an application relying heavily on processor. I see the eGPU usage and it barely reach a 50%, not even when processing image.

My question is, if images are graphic components that needs to be rendered into a graphic context in order to be displayed, why is for instance generating previews done on the processor side? Same goes for editing, (even though it seems smoother now, but is just my subjective opinion), and how can you guys at Capture One Dev team can enhance these kinda setups where nowadays are more common among graphic creative people (Illustrators, photographers, videographers, and so on)

Regards

PS: Im a mac software developer as well.

PS2: Photoshop and Affinity photo got nice performance improvements over eGPU.

Hi Gustavo,

Thank you for your feeback. We always want to improve the perfomance of Capture One, so I will forward your request for better eGPU support internally.

Best regards,

Jakob, Capture One

Agree. eGPU's are becoming mainstream for Mac users that want to beef up processing power of their laptops (or Mac mini Systems). Seems an obvious way to boost the performance of C1.
