Does anyone know if an eGPU setup with late 2013 15" (Iris) Macbook Pro + GTX780TI + Sonnet Echo Express III-D would work with Apple's Thunderbolt monitor as the external display?

Hi,

I just set this configuration up with a GTX 770 and the Thunderbolt Apple Display is not recognized.

Basically you can daisy chain everything: MBP -- Thunderbolt Apple Display -- Sonnet Exp III -- GTX -- but at the end you need another external display using the GTX video card. I have an ASUS 26' DVI.

Be aware that I have a 2011 MBP with 1 port Thunderbolt 1, not 2 ports thunderbolt 2... And I'm not using Windows BC, just OSX 10.8.5.

Eventually with my config, I have issues with online videos (Youtube): crash.

I am considering reselling the Sonnet Chassis.

Cheers,

Does it show as "Monitor" or whats the actuall problem. I know some GTX 770 cards with 4GB RAM produce errors in OSX because of their high TPD (like 230-250W)

Drivers are included in Mavericks and the GPU should show up as Nvidia GK104.

Hi,

I setup this exact same configuration (GTX 770 4Go), edited every kext required, with a black screen as a result. :-(

Mavericks 10.9.3 + latest nvidia drivers, Thunderbolt 1 with a Macbook Pro early 2011.

The Video Card/monitor info says:

Jeu de composants : NVIDIA Chip Model

Longueur de la voie PCIe : x8

VRAM (totale) : 128 Mo

Any ideas to make it work?

Thanks.
