Ha so this has it's own subforum now? cool

So I only have TB1 is that an issue? I read that its really 4 10gbps channels where TB2 is 2x20 so its really the same?

What do I need besides this Akitio Thunder2 PCIe Box Expansion Chassis AK-T2PC-TIA B&H Photo and the GPU? This seems like the best option as most others are over priced or they come with a PSU that is to small anyway.

Can the GPU work in mac? Because then don't I need to stay with a 770 as 780's and Titan's don't have OSX drivers? If not I will probably go 780 Ti.

So I guess this got moved here? Now I probably wont get an answer?.... I've never build a computer so I'm still trying to learn the whole PCIe-express card stuff so I'm not quite sure about everything.

That's correct. There's an OS X-side app that helps prepare Windows install media, and Apple supplies some drivers, but that's it.

You might want to look into some fan control apps for OS X, though. Sometimes Windows doesn't know when to speed up the fans and it'll get rather hot, but if you set the fan to a high speed first, and then reboot to Windows, the high speed will persist until you go back to OS X and turn it back down.

Mine actually runs cooler in windows it seems? I do like how the volume controls and everything work just like in osx

I had a MacBook 15-inch mid-2010 model up until recently and BootCamp worked great. Not sure what GPU is in the 2012 model, but I was able to even overclock my 330M to get some extra gaming power out of it while on Windows (with modified NVidia drivers). The GPU will get very hot though, whether you OC or not, so be aware of that.

Hmmm how did you do this? The 650M in a 2012 15" is like 6x faster than a 320 or 330m

buy a copy of Parallels Desktop 8. You can use windows inside OSX. But be sure to max out ram when you're buying your mac.

Actually only do this if your getting an air or retina if your getting a 2012 non retina just get the 4gb then put in 16gb of your own from OWC or something, wayyyy cheaper.

What are you trying to do and whats slow about it? Gaming? just bootcamp the thing it will run 4x as fast, upgrade the ram to atleast 8gb and get a SSD.

So all I know is there isn't drivers for open cl, wtf is open cl? what works and what doesn't?
