Good Day everyone,

as my current situation does not allow a tower pc for gaming, I'm using my Macbook Pro Retina 15'' Late 2013 with Bootcamp and Win10.
I'm mainly playing Path of Exile at the moment but it doesn't really run great tbh.

I was looking into the eGPU Systems and was wondering if people here have experiences with those setups.

Any advice / feedback / remarks appreciated.

And no, I am not going to buy a Windows Gaming Laptop :)


Thanks!

Runs perfect on highest settings on my mid 2015...

You probably can upgrade the RAM and make a big difference

RAM on the 2013 MBP is soldered to the board. Would have to replace the entire board to do that.

Mid-2015 runs i7, and has the Iris Pro 5200. Better integrated GPU than the Iris 5100 in the Mid-2013.
