Apple sells out of External Graphics Development Kit allotment, Sonnet offers eGFX Box + GPU at reduced cost<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>Apple launched its External Graphics Development Kit during WWDC 2017 as a way to assist developers with demanding
graphics-intensive apps and VR content creation. The unit included the developer edition of Sonnet’s external eGFX GPU chassis, along with Sapphire’s AMD RX 580 8GB graphics card, and Belkin’s USB-C to 4-port USB-A hub.</p>
<p>Apple priced the External Graphics Development Kit at $599, which was reasonable considering that the Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB still goes for around $279, and demanded a higher price during the kit’s launch. The External Graphics Development Kit has been on sale for several months, but now all stock appears to be exhausted.</p>
<p>As a part of its Cyber Week Sale, Sonnet is offering the
eGFX Breakaway Box – Developer Edition — the same unit included in Apple’s kit, sans Belkin USB hub, for $499. That’s a $100 price difference from what Apple was charging, and the developer edition of the eGFX units are available to all users, not just developers. <a href="
