goalque, Dschijn, thank you very much! Now my understanding is clear. As I saw on other threads, even if I use a fully modular psu (like Corsair RM450), I still need to do the paper clip trick w/ 24pin. Is this correct? About dragging windows from external monitor to internal, does it work only on AMD?

My post was the last on the previous page, and it seems that it was skipped, so I am repeating it.

Hi everyone, I remember that it was mentioned here that we can use some software to allow macs w/ dedicated GPUs to use external AMD cards on internal screens. Is the same technique available with Nvidia? Also, for macs w/ dedicated graphics, is it just windows where we can't use eGPUs on internal screens? Or is it OS X, too? I am thinking about buying 960/970 for my rmbp w/750m, and my approximate future configuration includes: gpu, psu (modular), akitio, power riser, tb cable. Do I need anything else? It seems to me I just lost track of why some suggest not to power akitio at all, while some suggest to power it and to put tape around 6 pins on the pcie connector. Thanks in advance.

Good, thank you.

Thank you for letting me know As you've probably heard, AMD has lowered 290/x prices due to the recently revealed 970 issue, so I was thinking about getting a red one. So if I buy an AMD card and use it with my rmbp 750m, then I will still be able to run applications on my internal screen (at a certain penalty, of course), did I understand you correctly? Do you think that the issue with Akitio being unstable with AMD cards will be fixed any time soon? I am in the process of earning money now, so I have around 2 month to weigh everything.

Hi, guys. Could someone tell me if it's possible to successfully use AMD cards instead of Nvidia Most of you are using Nvidia, is there a specific reason for that if we set Optimus feature aside? Thanks.

Hello, everyone. I've been following this thread almost since the beginning, and I'd like to simply thank all for their contributions and for making the concept accessible to many Now that I arrived in the US, I may finally join the owners of this solution.
