Hey,
I am trying to connect octane to my gpu on my new MacBook Pro however every time I click it as soon as I go out of the settings it unchecks and says no gpu available. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am using cinema 4d r23.
Thanks,
Teya

Hi,
which exact version of MacOs are you running?
Which exact version of plugin have you installed?
Which exact GPU model do you have inside the Mac?

Is your Mac from 2015?
If yes, the specific Intel GPU is not supported.
Also note that Intel GPU is the weak GPU you can have on a Mac.
Better to connect an eGPU box via Thunderbolt 2 or 3, with an AMD GPU inside, like 5700, or 6800/6900:

I have this exact same problem with the exact same computer and graphics card. Did you figure something out, Beppe?
