Macbook Pro 2020 running Windows 10-21H1 | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 2020 and I'm running Windows 10 - 21H1. I have setup my Razer Core x (RC21-01310100) and I have installed a Radeon 580 RX. Unit powers up ok and the GPU fans kick in fine. I registered it then installed the Razer Synapse 3 and Razer Cortex programs. When I connect via thunderbolt 3 the machine pings and the graphics card appears in device manager but when I install the official drivers from AMD the install wizard says the machine need to restarted. Which I do but when I check again the driver has failed to install and it has an explanation mark on it. I have also looked in Synapse to find the Core x but it just says view compatible devices then takes me off here https://www.razer.com/synapse-2#synapse-enabled same goes for when i look for it using the Synapse icon running at the bottom right. Just says please connect a device. but it is....

In Device manager it says this "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" but i have used the GPU switcher 1.0.2.9 and made the 580 default but then screen just goes fuzzy and i have to force restart. Once restarted the Iris GPU is disabled so i tried to re-install the driver again but it still wont work. Finally if i use the GPU switcher and click download drivers it sends me herehttps://www.razer.com/gaming-systems/razer-core-updates but all i get is a 404 error!! Am i missing something here?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mick

Razer Core X works with Mac OS and is supported by Razer Synapse 3.0. However, since Razer Synapse 3.0 is not available on Mac, features and other configurations such as being able to customize the lighting effects will not be available but you can use the Razer devices normally. Should you have other questions or concerns, feel free to send me a PM.
