US$189 AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box (16Gbps-TB2)
Downsidebloom replied to Tech Inferno Fan's topic in Enclosures and Adapters
I'm running a MBPr late 2k13 15". EVGA GTX 970 + Akitio. When I first got it, I didn't have a riser, and the GPU would boot me in, no problems etc. But it crashed every single time I tried a game. I used two PSU's (550W psu for gpu, and one for the akitio) After I got a riser, the problem stopped, and now I'm only using the 550W psu. So in my case, the riser is 100% essential. -
Haven't checked in on a while. Is it still not possible to use GTX 970+ rMBP 15" Late 13,iris pro with external monitor on OSX Yosemite?

Where do I do this? I see nowhere it says 14B25. EDIT: I managed to do it! It gets recognized now, although its a bummer it wont connect to external with hdmi. -

Hello. I'm trying to setup GTX970 on yosemite. I've changed the 3 kext files, but I still get no kext loaded when I boot.. What am I doing wrong? NVDASUPPORT.KEXT IONDRV Can't take picture of applehdacontroller, because its too long, but I did the same on it.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel® Core i7-4750HQ CPU @ 2.00GHz,Apple Inc. Mac-3CBD00234E554E41 Its just the graphics score that is low.. Ive tried changing PSU + TB cable now, but its still like that.. The GPU doesnt reach 80celsius even, so I dont really know what the problem is.. Will changing to UEFI help??

Hello. I just finished my setup, but I'm seeing low gpu scores on 3dmark firestrike etc. I get 7300, while most of you are getting 8,5k + with the same setup. Does anyone know the problem? Here's my full setup (Im using internal retina screen) GTX 970 EVGA SC 16x to 16x Powered Riser rMBP 15" Late 2013 with iGPU (5200) Akitio Thunder2 PciE solution 600W PSU 1. Does UEFI windows affect performance? I have bootcamp windows. Will changing to UEFI improve my performance at all? 2. Im using the TB cable from Akitio. Will changing it to apple official 2meter affect my performance?
