Hello everybody.
I have a problem with my EGPU. 
I use a Sonnet Breakaway Box 550 with a Radeon RX 570. On the GPU side i have 2x Projectors and 2x Monitors one for Millumin Control.
The Problem is when i Play Videos on the 3 Outputs i have 100% EGPU Usage and the Content plays not Smooth. CPU has Usage of 17% and Ram has a usage of 69%. Im using HAP Codec and a Mac Book Pro Late 2016 13 inch. I also disabled workspace.
Hope some one can help me.

    First of all, be sure all your displays are connected to eGPU and you are running Millumin from one of this display (I mean, Millumin's interface is on a display connected to your eGPU). Also, be sure you don't have any external device connected (such as a Blackmagic capture card, a Kinect, ...).
    This will ease our testing and results.

    Then a few questions :
    - When you hit the button "Optimize", what recommandations are displayed ?
    - Do not run any media on your 3 outputs : is the FPS (see "output" menubar) steady at 50 or 60fps ?
    - Run the shader "Stripes" on your 3 outputs : is the FPS steady ?
    - What is your version of Millumin ? 3.11.o ?
    - What is your macOS version ? 10.13.6 ?

    Thank you for your answers point by point.
    Best. Philippe

    Everything you said at the beginning is done.

    - When you hit the button "Optimize", what recommandations are displayed ?
    Convert media-layers to copy-Layer (2 layers). As test file i use 3 similar video files.
    - Do not run any media on your 3 outputs : is the FPS (see "output" menubar) steady at 50 or 60fps ?
    Its steady at 59/60 fps.
    - Run the shader "Stripes" on your 3 outputs : is the FPS steady ?
    Sorry, have this software since couple days. What do you mean exactly?
    - What is your version of Millumin ? 3.11.o ?
    3.11.o Demo version
    - What is your macOS version ? 10.13.6 ?
    10.14.4

    Best regards 
    Ben

    Hello @benjamin65,

    Please use the shader "Stripes" that is located in Millumin's library (right of the interface, click the button ">" if needed) inside the folder "shaders". What is the FPS is you play this shader instead of your movies ?

    If you play your 3 movies, is the FPS going down ?

    Could you install macOS High Sierra (10.13.6) on your computer ? Does this make a difference ?

    Best. Philippe
