1080p rendering is super fast, no problems there. Now with the eGPU setup, I can play at Full resolution with no noticeable lag. Before the eGPU setup, I would only be able to playback at Half resolution. I've got a file that has two 4K videos running side by side split-screen style.
I'm also running some tests with Premiere, and getting a few mixed results. If anyone has additional thoughts or experience with this it would be appreciated! This is a bit strange, but maybe has to do with the same reason that games run faster on the external monitor? I assume rendering is a background process so it doesn't matter which monitor After Effects is displayed on for that, but actual playback and things that deal with FPS will be boosted on the external monitor. I'm also jacking up the settings like crazy on Element (using Raytraced AO and Shadows, Depth of Field, high Multi and Supersampling, etc). However, once I've cached the Element render and playback within After Effects, the frame rate is kind of choppy on the internal monitor, but totally smooth on the external monitor. Now in terms of actually cache rendering a scene built with Element, there is no difference whether I have After Effects open on my internal monitor or external monitor. This plugin is OpenGL based, so the faster your card, the faster the renders. What is strange is playback using the Element 3D plugin. Rendering in After Effects does seem to be considerably faster on the external card, but I've got more tests to run. It looks like Photoshop and After Effects recognize the card in their Preferences just fine. The iMac itself has a built in GTX 780M card. I've got an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti connected to my 2013 iMac using an Akitio Node. I just got my eGPU setup and have been starting to run tests with Adobe CC 2017 apps.
