1. When installing a new card to a laptop, should I install driver that is intended for notebook or Desktop? As NVIDIA provide 2 options.

 

3. I have heard that the newest driver often cause code 43 to an EGPU. If that’s the case, what is the best driver software suited for this card?

 

4. How do I set primary GTX 1050 as main NVIDIA card as I have two NVIDIA Card?

I cannot answer all of your questions but I will answer some. But first let's start by saying welcome to the forums!!! I myself joined here to get an EGPU running:)

1) you should be installing the desktop version.

3) now this is a bit more complicated. Since you have a 1050 the driver that for sure works doesn't have the 1050 (Or ti for that matter) added to it. The best thing to do is get a modded driver as you said in your post unless you wanted to get a 1060 or greater instead which probably isn't much of an option. This driver will not guarantee that it will work though. It will take a lot of trial and error.

4) You could try to set the display that your egpu is running as the main and disable the laptops dgpu. This might render your laptop screen useless though unless you are running some form of optimus which might allow you to run the egpu with your internal screen as well.

If I remember the answers to your other questions I will be sure to let you know more! I know this might have brought up some other questions but non the less hopefully some of your questions were answered!

I am not 100% sure about others, however, on a Mid 2015 15 inch MBP retina wo/gpu the newest drivers are working properly. I am not sure if you can just go strait to the newest. I uninstalled using DDU in safe mode. Interestingly enough GFE was still showing as installed on the desktop but was not there in the programs (just something to note). Then installed the drivers that supposedly fix the error code. I believe that is 375.86. Upon restart the system did freeze up at the windows logo on the first boot. I rebooted 2x after that until I had a "successful" boot. I checked device manager and the error code was gone and I then proceeded to go to the 375.95 drivers and everything is up and running. Sadly I do not have a non-thunderbolt system to test this on but it might worth a shot. I would also try to a complete uninstall and go strait to 375.95. It is important that you do a COMPLETE uninstall though! Go into safe mode and use DDU. Nothing would work unless I did that. In addition to doing a "Custom Install" and checking the Preform a clean install option for both of the installations (375.86 & 375.95). I also DID NOT install any of the 3D installs as I do not need them.

That is weird, all drivers work for me in Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, if i hook up the GPU over TB3. 

 

Nvidia has done a bang up job of messing things ups.

It seems to be specific to TB1 & TB2. TB3 should be officially supported due to the Razer Core being available.

Edit: might be specific to the Core but it does still run over TB3

Can confirm, same thing happened to me .. reverted to 372.70 and card was active again. 2014 MBP 15 Retina Iris Pro ... Akitio Thunder2 w/ 1060 6GB.

I've got the same issue, reinstalled 372.70 and it works fine again. Really hope the next update fixes this!

Same problem here. I really would like to try this version to see if this make Forza runs smoothly with my Gtx 1060. I only get around 25-30 fps no matter if graphics are in Low or Ultra.

Hey guys. I just did something.

I tried to install the driver 372.90 by selecting custom installation and disabling all the others component except Graphic Driver and it worked for me!!! I hope it works for some of you as well.

I apologize for quoting everybody but out of curiosity what windows build are you on? I have found that the anniversary update also causes many of the same problems. Or at leased makes booting much more difficult. I believe it is build 1607 in which in 30 minutes I cannot get a successful boot.

Any updates here? I want to start with my gtx 1050ti

The only other potion than what was previously said is using the old drivers as well.

Are we stuck an old driver for now?

Unless one of these troubleshooting steps others have posted works for you then yes. Currently I have not found a way to get passed it either.

Look at Code 43 Section may be this will help you too

Sadly This did not work. This might be specific to those who purchased a MBP with a dedicated gpu. Upon Disabling the internal screen and rebooting once I install the newest driver update the internal defaults again with no way to set it back the way it was.

Yes, per previous message pls disable ASPM in power profile and enable it in BIOS to see if this is a fix for users without extensive BIOS options like you have. Based on your previous comments, it appears ASPM is causing error 43 in the newest NViDia drivers.

Do you know of a way to disable ASPM on a Mac? Windows in bootcamp generally defaults with the power profile part. I assume That is the only way since there is no BIOS setting within MBP

Reinstall your system from the sratch 

I already have tried that. Still nothing though. Ill be trying it again soonish once I get a Windows dedicated SSD but as it stands now that didnt work previously.

Try ans install the latest Intel graphics driver as well.

Sadly that did not work. Is there anything else that might be able to be done to fix this??? I am aware that I am not the only one having this problem as well. I would be good to fix it so i could explain it to them as well. 

@Dschijn So The setup I was using both is and was working just fine. The problem is I cannot Update to any of the newest Nvidia Drivers. Every time I do no matter what I get error 43 {" Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"}. This is on both 372.90 and the newest 373.06. I end up rolling back to 372.70. I have tried only installing the graphics driver and nothing still. My Question is; Is there a fix or workaround for error 43 to allow me to update the drivers?

WARNING TO EVERYONE WHO IS GETTING THE NVIDIA DRIVER 372.90!!! I did a reinstall of 372.70 and everything is up and running again. We will see if it will stay that way. I would still like to know if there is a fix for the error so that if i need to i can update the driver in the future.

Hello,

Does anyone know of a fix for error code 43. I am using an akitio thunder2 with a GTX 1060 and a 2015 15 MBP Intel Iris. Everything was working perfectly until today there was an update from Nvidia when suddenly it stopped and is now giving error 43. I have reinstalled windows and still am getting the issue. I am going to revert back to the previous driver to see if that will fix it but we will see.

Why the 24-pin? Another 8-pin is much more suited to provide much more power.

My goal is to have a switch near the front of the thunder2 to power up the PSU. So rather then running 3 or more connections only running 2 is much easier and cleaner if i can provide power to the thunder2 enclosure with the same connection. I do have a 24 pin sleeved extension laying around that I could Pull all other pins and just leave the 6 wires grouped together in 3 sleeves. One for the 2 Grounds, One for the 2 12v and one for the power switch.

You can not combine both TB ports! The planed setup looks fine, but (AFAIK) nobody knows how to force eGPUs to run on the internal display.

I have ordered the part to complete this however i just wanted to make sure of one thing. I can use any 12v leads on a PSU for the barrel plug correct? My plan is to use the the 2 yellow and and 2 ground on the 24 pin ATX plug to power the box then a ground and the turn-on wire to a switch for the PSU to turn on. Obviously with the 8 pin to my GPU as well.

Here ya go! Let me know if this helps or you want another benchmark!

If it doesn't take up too much of your time I would like to see would be The FireStrike benchmark including the Physics  part.

I finally completed my build using the following parts!

Have you done any benchmarks with your setup? I would be interested to see some of the scores that were achieved since i will be doing this exact build (w/o the case) but with an EVGA 1060 SC. It will be a few weeks before everything arrives though especially since the 1060s are on backorder everywhere!!

I am planning on building a new egpu for a 2015 MBPr 15 inch with iris pro. I will be using an atx PSU with modded extension cables within the akitio thunder2 powering an EVGA gtx 1060 SC. Is it possible to use both of the thumderbolt 2 ports to stack the bandwith preformance? Has anyone had any major issues with a setup similar to this one (disregarding the first question)? Also how would I go about getting the internal monitor to work with the egpu? I have used a previous setup with a gtx 960 on a PC but was never able to get the internal to work. It always had to be an external monitor to use it.

Im having the same problem as you =/

Hi,

(Assuming you were referencing to my post directly above yours of course.)

Well apparently the problem would be with the drivers. The drivers must support both the eGPU and dGPU (in my case i have no iGPU so i cannot disable the dGPU as instructed on another forum). I have yet to get this running which is really disappointing but with trial and error you should be able to get them working with any luck. I will be continuing to attempt to get this running. If I do i will see if i can help you out as well. I am not an expert at any of this so it may be a while! Hopefully not though.

Hi,

So here is my problem....

Yesterday I successfully preformed a dsdt override. rebooted. and proceeded to find the "Large Memory" section under device manager. Everything went smoothly until....

I then tried starting with my eGPU. DID NOT work for some reason. So i then did some digging around and found this.

The eGPU will not allocate to the 36-bit space from the override. Am I susposed to remove the Series 4 chipset from the allocated 36-bit space or what??? I am quite confused about all of this. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I also forgot to add the fact that windows says the eGPU is running without any problems but no info shows up in GPU-Z either.

Thank You
