Hello everyone,

Wasted a day but cannot solve the issue and get stuff working. Set up is the following:

- MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012, bootcamp Win 8.1 x64, Nvidia drivers v353.06 (the latest for now)

- Gigabyte GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD (GTX 970) inside Akitio Thunder2

- powered by Akitio power supply + PSU 500W --> 6+2 and 6 to GPU

The problem is that Windows cannot enable device, in Device Manager system says:

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

What can cause the issue? In Mac OS X GTX 970 is not visible in the list however Akitio Thunder2 listed.

Any ideas?

... Any faster card would perform better, but the performance drop might be too much (especially with Optimus)

That's exactly what I worry about. I do not waste 50-70 euro for performance sake of which I will never get with bottleneck as TB1 is vs TB2.

Gents,

I did not find straight tests, but having Thunderbolt 1 on MacBook Pro 2011-2012 years, what maximum graphic card makes sense to use to utilize max throughput and don't waste money?
