Hi,
anybody has a running setup with blender on a Macbook (16" 2020) + Razor Core X in Big Sur?
I tried my best over days. Can't figure out how to get the eGPU workin in choosable in the preferences.
Just can render on CPU.
I appriciate every hint you guys can give. ;)

Hi,
firstly, to check that everything is working correctly, please download and install Standalone OctaneX from App Store.

Then open Standalone, right click anywhere in the node graph panel, and choose Materials/Metallic, to create the material node.
Now right click on the node and choose Render.
If you see the Material Ball scene rendering, everything is working correctly.

I'm not a Blender user, but you should need to go to preferences/add-ons, and check that OctaneX is selected as render engine.
Then go to the Scene attributes, and change the render engine to OctaneX.
