I don’t know anything about external GPU’s. However, I can safely say that you can run the Mini headless, as long as you grab the Compulab Fit Headless dongle, which runs about 15 bucks on amazon. I run my 2012 mini headless all the time on stage with MainStage, and can run Pro TOols out in the field with only the dongle plugged in. Hope this helps.
