@nathanletwory the GPU of the mac mini is actually an Intel UHD Graphics 630 or what did you mean? it is unfortunately by far the weak spot of that entire little Macpewter… which makes me very concerned if i should not wait still. connecting a bulky eGPU defies the sense of a compact-ewter. not so much about not affording it (my personal view at least)
anyway here @dan wrote that you have 2 Mac Minis available. I take it from what I read that you are from finnland and probably are not around testing one of these? if anybody of you guys could fire it up for a 3 and a half minutes to see if working on it with a decent amount of object in shaded and wire viewport seems acceptably smooth, maybe a quick raytraced test render.
not super urgent, but sure also interesting for others, since the Mac Mini is definitely a hot contester in affordability and performance.
