Hello! The system crashes when trying to start a new version of adobe premiere  (2015.3) when the external card is connected. Everything works well without eGPU. But in the settings of premiere I can not specify the use of cuda. What could be the problem? I use the latest drivers...

Remove Metal folder in distributive (e.g. in AE - /Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC\ 2015.3/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC\ 2015.app/Contents/PTX/Metal )

I just described my experience with mbp late 2013 and mid 2014 (both with intel only graphics) and windows 8.1 and windows 10.

I used Akitio box with Dell DA-2 200W and custom 300W (for LED light). I didn't use barrel in both cases, just soldered wires to PCB on back of barrel.

And i didn't use sleep option. Don't like it.

I am pretty sure it's late 2013. Don't have it at hand right now to double check though.

 

So what should I do to make it work? Can I use the guide on the first page of this topic?

No, just install nvidia drivers for your gtx750ti and then switch to "Show desktop only on 1 display" in settings.

Can somebody with experience in this area please explain me what is "Optimus"?

 

As far as I understood it will allow going to Sleep mode with eGPU connected?

Correct me if I am wrong, "Optimus" is used if you need to use internal display with eGPU.

Will "Optimus" provide any performance benefits?

 

My configuration is:

- MacBook Retina 13" Intel Iris 5100

- EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti

- Windows 10

 

Can I set up "Optimus" with this configuration and if yes, then how?

 

Hey man,

Is your mbp late 2013 or mid 2014?

If it's late 2013, Optimus (output from eGPU to internal display) should work OOB in windows 8.1/10.

If it's mid 2014, Optimus will work OOB if you install windows with BootCamp 5.1.5640.

10.11.6 is working. Nvidia released updated drivers.

Now waiting only for updated drivers for 10.10.5 on 2nd macbook.

It should cos InXtron Thunderbolt 2 PCB is base of Akitio Thunder2 box.

If all goes according to plan, i'll test this kit in nearest future (on Razer book with TH3).

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to run something similar to @Barzenberg but I get no output on my external monitor after restarting. The monitor isn't even recognized as another display on the mac. The system report doesn't list the GTX 1070 under Graphics/Displays, just the name Display.

 

@goalque Did I do something wrong with running your script? See attached pic

 

Specs for reference:

Mid 2012 15" MBP i7

Akitio Thunder2

500W PSU

Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070

LG 34" Monitor

 

Nothing wrong, but there are no os x nvidia drivers for gtx1080/1070 atm.

On this photo, the card looks a little to high (above the slot) to fit into the box. What do you think?

It has the same height as zotac gtx 970 dual fan (that is fitted into Akitio box w/o cooling system cover), but radiator on gtx1060 is a bit higher than PCB and at first look it might be a little problem.

Only works with EFI bios on his Titan X.

Doesn't work with usual bios.

Apple just release there new OS update 10.11.5.  Any success with this working with eGPUs or does it break it?

Good Question. It's my question as well. 

Yes, it's working. nVidia drivers update is available.

DIY eGPU Setup 1.20 will solve your problem 100%.

They simply removed Hardware check function in pkg.

No problems for eGPU.
