Can anyone speak to real-world performance benefits?
I own a 2016 13" MacbookPro and the LG 5k display. Typically I use it for programming (VSCode, XCode etc.), occasional light gaming. Drawn to this product as it works with the display and would make a decent desktop dock with its extra ports and power. I do notice windows get a bit choppy on the 5k display, so I'm curious the benefits that this eGPU will bring - essentially will it be enough to notice in my every day? Benchmarks seem to focus on either heavy 3D games or video rendering.

Yes. The choppiness comes from tearing and stuttering because your internal integrated GPU is way to weak to export 5k video at 60hz. however I would suggest using the pro version of this egpu with a Vega 56 for great performance on a 5k monitor
