I'm definitely going to get a dedicated graphics card as the builtin I have is really subpar.

Do you have a thunderbolt? Have you considered an eGPU?

I'm sure you can squeeze 8 years out of yours too! See you in 2023 :D

Heck yeah 🤟

Yeah, one Thunderbolt port up to 10 Gbps (at least according to Mactracker).

Any ideas?

Perfect... what kind of heavy stuff you plan on doing? design work like Photoshop? rendering? ML or so?

Ah ah a generic one? I do use Photoshop but I don't do 3D stuff :D

A generic one would be a gaming one that runs most games, and of course an AMD card since Nvidia is not supported from Apple in general.

This is a general idea about what's gonna be like: support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208544

I'll hop in to the DM to talk about the rest 😁
