WOW not playing nice with others

I cannot think of a better topic. WOW is not playing nice with other applications. I recently purchased a brand new MacBook Pro. The specs are as follows:

  • I9 2.4GHz Processor (8 Cores)

  • 64 GB Ram

  • AMD Radeon Pro 5500 (8GB Memory)

  • 8TB SSD

In addition I have the MacBook Pro connected to a Razor eGPU Enclosure with a AMD 5700 XT external GPU. This is connected to an external ASUS monitor.

The hardware should not be a problem it is significantly more powerful than my MacBook Pro 2015 I turned in trade for.

Whenever I launch any type of video while WOW is playing causes wow to freeze and ultimately the entire computer to freeze. I was running WOW and I launched Discord, WOW freezes becomes very choppy and ultimately recovered.

I launch Safari, click a Youtube video, wow dies. I have wow running and I launch a movie, quick time starts and the computer locks up. I can run the movie, YouTube, discord with no issues. WOW is the contributing factor. Need some help.

Will run whatever report you need me to run and post.

Brand new Mac? Running Catalina? Dual GPU?

Isn’t this a known combination of factors for problems?

Brand new Mac - Yes
Running Catalina - Yes have to for the Radeon 5700 XT Graphics Card Support
Dual GPU - Technically yes but it should be only using the eGPU
