The Kickstarter, which is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects, got a fully-funded campaign that is offering a choice of two external GPUs for "MacBook Pros."

The two external Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from the Kickstarter campaign will offer the "MacBook Pro" up to ten times the performance of the top-end built-in one, based on the report of 9 To 5 Mac.

Connected through a Thunderbolt 2 or 3, the Wolfe Pro gets a person an NVIDIA GTX 970 GPU for a price of $599, with expected date of delivery on March 2017.

The GTX 970 features 1664 cores that runs at 1050MHz, for a peak computing power of 3.49 teraflops, the GPU renders at speed almost ten times faster compared to a maxed-out 15-inch "MacBook Pro" with AMD R9 M370X GPU.

Frame rates of the GTX 970 GPU exceed 70 frames per second, in which it enables a device suitable for high-end gaming and virtual reality (VR) applications.

The American public-benefit corporation - Kickstarter, also assured that there is an option of upgrading to the even more powerful - GTX 1060 when available.

However, if a person doesn't need quite that level of performance, the standard model will feature NVIDIA GTX 950 GPU, offering 768 cores that run at 1024 MHz for a peak computing power of 1.57 teraflops. That spec still gets a person more than 50 frames per second (FPS) and renders the speeds four-times faster compared to a top-end 15-inch MBP for a price of $449.

Another option is the $269 DIY box that allows the consumer to use their own GPU. All three boxes will provide a person three DisplayPort 1.3 outputs and one HDMI.

Anyway, Apple is said to be working on the latest 5K monitor with built-in external GPU. But, there's no confirmation yet on which of the GPUs, according to Power Page.
