That's great info -- thanks MVC! So for a Kepler card (for example), it's just surgery as usual on the standard-issue OS X .kexts? Have you seen stability improve using Apple drivers? BK

Hi all, can I ask for help troubleshooting KP's for an eGPU install? After a month or so of reading, I brought together an eGPU for my Macbook Pro 8,2 (Early 2011, 15"), running 10.10. The eGPU was recognized, but there are some kernel panics. -- I used an Akitio Thunder2 and ASUS GeForce GT 630 v2 1GB DDR3 (Kepler). -- The GT 630 to meet the Thunder2 25W slot limit, since max draw is spec'd at 25W and I didn't want to hack a PSU. -- Driving twin Dell U2412M from the HDMI and DVI ports, respectively. -- Installed NVIDIA Web Drivers are 343.01.01f01 -- current, not beta. -- Kexts are updated kexts per current instructions. -- Current boot-args are set to: "kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1" -- Automatic Graphics Switching is enabled. Kernel panics occur: -- reliably during sleep, or wake-from-sleep -- infrequently, but appear closely related to heavy Quartz rendering -- KP's noted in iPhoto use (e.g. quick scrolling) Other errors noted: -- Flash plugins usually crash prior to rendering -- Safari shows rendering errors; images show tearing/offsets. -- No such issues in Chrome, Firefox After reading the forum, these are my questions: -- Does anyone have insight into KPs following wake/sleep, at least? -- Has anyone had a similar GT 630 experience? -- Any suggestions for reducing KP frequency? Thanks!
