Setup 1.x can't be used with UEFI Win8.1. Good news is that previous Macbook eGPU implementations indicate that UEFI Win8.x is pretty much plug'n'play : http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/6578-implementations-thunderbolt-expresscard-mpcie-egpus.html#Thunderbolt
Thanks for the quick reply.
I love the sound of PnP, but would I need the expresscard solution instead ? or does it work with the Thundertek ?
My Macbook is with the 650m dGPU.
Cheers!

Hello Ha1o2surfer
Congrats on your setup and results.
I have been watching the egpu threads for a while, and was wondering if you need setup 1.x with EFI Windows 8.1 ? I have an Thundertek PCIe TB on the way (with cables, psu and gfx (nvidia 770).
All I want to do (for starters) is running the most optimal framerate, on my Macbook Pros internal display (2880x1800), even knowing I will get better results with external.
What is your advice on how to proceed ? :-)
Thanks in advance!

Hello DIY'ers.
Been looking at this board about 6 months, and finally took the plunge.
My question is will optimus work with this setup ?
Macbook Pro 15 Retina with 650m descrete
Thundertek PCIe -> TB
NVIDIA 780 GTX
(both powered by a PSU and put into a Mini ATX)
Going to install Win 8.1 under bootcamp - which makes it plug and play ?
Reason I want optimus, is because I study far from home, and being able to game (in HIGH RES) is a dream I have had for a long time.
I hope you can help me out
Thanks in advance!
