I must say that I'm still upset at Apple for crippling the backward-compatibility feature of Thunderbolt 1 and 2 with its latest release of MacOS 10.13.4, which means that we would have to upgrade to the newest Mac hardware with Thunderbolt 3 that is still expensive, for those who prefer to be frugal or are rather impecunious. This might amplify the Mac Mini's limited internal hardware to force it to upgrade it to 4k resolution, according to the useful advice posts within the thread I found at Apple web site (ironically enough, despite it not being official as a hidden feature).Īs for the external eGPU device, should I decide to return to dabbling in graphic design and illustration, I'll keep you informed with my process in setting up eGPU for Mac Mini Late 2012, for those interested as the owners of the otherwise semi-obsolete Mac Mini late 2012 edition, with the photographs and my commentary in this thread. Thanks for the replies with constructive comments.Īs of now, I have ordered the Mini Displayport to HDMI converter module to configure the Mac Mini with the installed trial/pay software called SwitchResX.
#MONITOR FOR MAC MINI 2012 UPDATE#
I am looking for a confirmation whether Mac Mini Late 2012 could be power-boosted by hacking (besides 4k display trick) with Thunderbolt 2-equipped eGPU, despite Apple's official statement that the latest MacOS update is intended for the listed recent Apple products. Also in particular Apple's continuing neglect of Mac Mini, with the rumored 2017 Mac Mini that comes with 4k display resolution feature, yet it's hard to find/discern if this is true now. (The later Mac Mini like 2014 edition has RAM soldered in that makes it impossible to upgrade manually.)Ģ.) Despite its age, it runs good at this current time, even with the demanding programs such as Unigine's Mac version of " Valley" for benchmarking.ģ.) Lastly, I am still upset at Apple Computer Inc for the number of reasons that might be better left unspecified.

I boosted it from 4 GB to 16 GB by manual upgrade. I'm holding on to Apple Mac Mini Late 2012 edition for a few following reasons:ġ.) It is the last Mac Mini computer that allows for manual upgrade of memory (RAM). I tried researching on 4k upgrade by hacking, but some forums referring to this hack may be outdated with some difficult to configure, using only Terminal to execute manual commands, not to mention trying to download from GitHub that confuses me since I'm not familiar with GitHub when it comes trying to obtain programs to hack the Mac Mini Late 2012 computer.

Since Apple officially updated HighSierra to the latest version, 10.13.4 (edit: it should be 10.13.3 for Thunderbolt 1 & 2 for possible compatibility but my point stands), that supports eGPU for the limited number of recent Apple computer products, would it be (theoretically) plausible or possible to acquire eGPU box with Thunderbolt 2 to install a mid-end GPU card that could be configured with Mac Mini Late 2012 edition to "hack" it to upgrade to 4k resolution for viewing on Sony Bravia 55" 4k HDTV, besides the benefit of faster graphic processing?
