Blackmagic today informed MacRumors that it is no longer manufacturing its Blackmagic eGPU Pro due to AMD discontinuing its Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics chip.
Apple removed the Blackmagic eGPU Pro from its online store earlier this week, just days after marking the product as temporarily out of stock. The standard Blackmagic eGPU with AMD Radeon Pro 580 graphics remains available to purchase for the time being, but with a lengthy shipping estimate of 10-12 weeks.
Priced at $1,199, the Blackmagic eGPU Pro first came out in October 2018 alongside refreshed Mac mini and MacBook Air models.
It is unclear if the Blackmagic eGPU Pro will return with a newer graphics chip at a later date.

Apple and NVIDIA need to kiss and make up.
But we are talking about computers, not phones.2 1/2 years? You do know that Apple releases new iPhones and iPads every year right?
They can drive the pro display and are really quiet compared to a build your own.Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you can replace the GPUs in these so it seems kind of a weak choice compared to other solutions.
