To enable your Mac to handle the demands of Virtual Reality (VR) games or Augmented Reality (AR) and work with a VR Headset on your Mac, an External Graphics Processing Unit (eGPU) is essential. We found that the best eGPU for Mac is the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box which is officially endorsed by Apple so you get rock solid Mac compatibility with. Starting with macOS Mojave 10.14, you can turn on Prefer External GPU in a specific app's Get Info panel in the Finder. This option lets the eGPU accelerate apps on any display connected to the Mac—including displays built in to iMac, iMac Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.

However, you may not redistribute GPU-Z as part of a commercial package. We also offer a GPU-Z SDK, which is provided as simple-to-use DLL with full feature set. Can show current GPU usage; Plots said usage on a graph; Optional: Show how much energy the GPU is using (probably far fetched) Show which tasks are using the GPU; I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1 with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB GPU, if it makes a difference. I'm fine with either a GUI or CLI, I'm comfortable in a terminal.
Many 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks have two graphics processors (GPU)—a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU. The discrete GPU provides substantial graphics performance but uses more energy. The integrated GPU optimizes battery life by using less energy.
Check if the discrete or integrated GPU is in use
To see which graphics cards are in use, choose Apple () menu > About this Mac. The graphics cards currently in use appear next to Graphics. Learn which integrated GPUs your Mac might have.
Check if an app is using the dedicated GPU
To see if an app is using the higher-performance discrete GPU, open Activity Monitor and click the Energy tab. If you don't see the Requires High Perf GPU column, your computer only has one graphics processor.
In this example, iMovie and Final Cut Pro are using the higher-performance discrete GPU:

Here are a few examples of apps and accessories that use the higher-performance discrete GPU:
- iMovie
- Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign
- An external display
