I purchased an AMD Radeon RX 580, which I have installed on my mac mini as an eGPU. I sent screenshots of my purchase receipt from amazon. I send screenshots of my mac detecting the RX 580 as an eGPU. I even sent a picture of it installed inside my Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box. They responded with this:

"Unfortunately our PVT program is only compatible with Windows at this time. In order to redeem your coupon code you need to be on a true Windows operating system (VMs are not supported). We apologize for the inconvenience."

Really? So essentially, people who use these cards outside of Windows, aren't allowed to claim the promotion they are owed? I have to literally buy a windows pc, install the card, claim my rewards, the return the pc? Actually ridiculous.

From the Terms & Conditions concerning your AMD Promotions:  Radeon Raise the Game Bundle - COMPONENT AND SYSTEM INTEGRATOR (SI) 

Doesn't mention anywhere about using Apple OS.

EDIT: Not sure if you have a Windows Boot-camp setup if it will work on your Mac computer.

I have a MacBook so it is set in stone, when I bought my R5 2400G it came with Division 2 as a carrot

If you installed Windows Boot-camp would it work?

I have only got a 256GB SSD in my MacBook and it only has 8GB of RAM. It has Apple's version of bitlocker call Apple Vault.

I have several desktops and a lot of Lenovo laptops as well. Lenovo have TPM chips so that bitlocker works.

Boot-camp is used by some who want to dual boot OS X and Windows but I do not need to do that as I have Windows laptops
