TechManAsh Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hi, If i was to use a Akitio Thunder2 PCIe Expansion Chassis with a GTX 960 Strix 4GB on a late 2014 Mac Mini, how big would the performance improvements be in OS X El Capitan over the HD 5000 iGPU? Specifically in Games such as Borderlands 2 or Tomb Raider 2013? Very unsure of the performance boost with eGPU as game is rendered with OpenGL API in OS X. Would using a Hypervisor with Xen and Windows inside OS X with eGPU using PCI Passthrough be a better choice? This is the 1.4Ghz, 4GB RAM Mac Mini Model. Thanks.

TechManAsh Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I chose to get a RocketStor 6361a as i didn’t want to have to get a molex to barrel adapter that i would have had to use with other thunderbolt 2 chassis. I just use my PSU Molex connectors with the internal molex connections inside the chassis instead, with paperclip trick. on the 20+4 pin connector. I really have loved it so far. Such good results!! Thanks, this led me in the right direction of eGPU build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
