Thanks for replying, Well my main concern is not money but the performance. Meaning that is it worth to spend extra money to buy gtx 980 ti instead of gtx 980 to play games on retina display? will extra horse power of gtx 980 ti compared to 980 will make significant difference in game performance on retina display of MBP. Also would i be able to play games on MBP display without connecting external display. My aim to build eGPU is only to play games on MBPs internal display and not external display. Again I appreciate your help.

Hi folks, I have recently bought an Akitio Thunder2 PCIe Box to prepare a thunderbolt 2 eGPU. I have Late 2013 Retina MacBook pro 15 inch with 2 Ghz (3.2 GHz boost) processor and Intel Iris only graphics, which is primary requirement for TB2 eGPU. I am planning to play games on MacBook's LCD screen over TB2 eGPU. Well, I have a very important question for you guys. NVidia already released GTX 980 and GTX 980 ti might be just a month away from release, should I buy gtx 980 for my eGPU or wait for gtx 980 ti. And does using highest end gpu make any difference in performance over thunderbolt 2 egpu. Also gtx 980 ti will definitely be more powerful than gtx 980, but will it make any difference in TB2 eGPU compared to Gtx 980 while playing games on native retina display of my MacBook pro. Thanks and hoping to hear any of you soon.
