MBP 15" (mid 2014) with Akitio 2 eGPU running OSX

After going through various threads in peruse of knowledge concerning MBP 15" (mid 2014) Iris Pro only, with Akitio Thunder 2 eGPU; I came to conclusion that this particular model has more problems (when running OSX) than other models of MBP. 

Now, is it because of certain GPU cards which people use or is it general problem with Akitio Thunder2 and eGPUs?

 

I know that windows works OK with eGPU on this machine, but I'm particularly interested in running El Capitan and photo / video processing programs in OSX environment with a help of eGPU (not a gamer!). 

To keep things simple I thought I would use 75w GTX 950 powered by this AC http://item.rakuten.co.jp/arcat/d220p-01/?scid=af_pc_etc&sc2id=308186821 but after doing some research it looks like the Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2014) may give me trouble.

 

What are your thoughts? Any users of this particular model and eGPU with OSX out there?
