Existing Macs with Intel chips will still be useful long after the transition is complete, however, and software porting means they might even support more of your existing favorite applications for the foreseeable future, which is why adding an external GPU eGPU likely makes more sense now than ever.
Apple added support for eGPUs a few years ago, made possible by the addition of Thunderbolt 3 ports on Macs. These have very high throughput, making it possible for a GPU in an internal enclosure to offer almost as much graphics processing capability as one connected internally.
But for anybody looking to extend the life of their existing Mac for a few more years to wait and see how the Apple Silicon transition shakes out, updates from Apple and key software partners make an eGPU a great choice.
Here are a couple of Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure options out there for those considering this upgrade path, and the relative merits of each. Or else is it possible to add another graphic card in or outside the Macbook so that I can use another display. I thought it was an external graphic card, I had no idea that the processor would be doing the job instead and very poorly. Change my graphic card? I don't even know where the second video output would go Or add another graphic card externally?
The graphics card is a key integrated part of the logic board on the MacBook Pro, there really is no separation of it from it to do an upgrade, short of replacing the entire motherboard, and even then you would be limited to what was available at the time for that generation of MacBook Pro. Honestly, the Matrox route is probably the most affordable workable solution to this problem. Your last option is to maybe reevaluate if this MacBook Pro is the right machine for your needs.
Would a newer model MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt solve this problem, maybe maybe not. If you don't have two Thunderbolt Displays, you are kind of still out of luck hooking up dual displays to even a Thunderbolt MacBook Pro, with out the need for expensive external adapters.
In that case you could run not just two but three external monitors. You will have to use active adapters for the Thunderbolt connections. If you buy and sell used, the cost of switching machines should be a lot less than monkeying around with external hardware solutions, let alone the frightening surgery you were considering. With inexpensive CPU upgrades, you can have an octocore or hex core with capable graphics on board even multiple cards for a fraction of the price of a new MacBook Pro.
Of course you can't carry the Mac Pro around but in this case you are planning a setup with two large monitors so portability may not be a factor.
I have the same model mbp with i5.
