@goalque, how can I check if my system supports Metal or not? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

After installing new web driver with v0.9.6, the system recognizes GTX 980, but doesn't utilize it. The results of Valley benchmark tests show same scores with or without eGPU. Even I got better score without eGPU. Also there is no connection to the external monitor. Would you let me know how to attack this problem? The system configuration is Mid 2014 15" Macbook Pro GT 750M Akitio Thunderbolt to PCIe box EVGA GTX 980 Dell P2415Q El Capitan 10.11

As Dschijin said the riser might cause the problem. In my case, I disassembled Akitio box and directly plugged the card itself to GPU without a riser. And another thing is I'm using DP cable.

Thanks again, goalque. I'll try both methods and post the results later. And I forgot to mention that I'm using Dell P2415Q. (Just for the record.) Update: Selecting iGPU works, but turning off "Automatic Graphics Switching" option is not. So I need to close Paralles before going to bed since Paralles prevents from switching to "Integrated Only" on gfxCardStauts.

@goalque My MBP restarts whenever It wakes up from sleep mode. Is there any solution for this issue? My configuration is 2014 15" MBP with 750M El Capitan GM GTX 980 Akitio TB to PCIe box Corsair 650RM Dell P2415Q

Thanks for the url. I'm able to use GTX 980 now. But the issue is my 2014 15" MBP with 750M reboots whenever it wakes up from sleep mode. Don't you have this problem?

Yes, it works flawlessly. You need to add -url option. See following post. http://forum.techinferno.com/showthread.php?t=10922

Yes, I was talking about the "hot plugging and unplugging" of Thunderbolt cable. Based on your reply, it's hard to expect those kind of functionalities on OS X any time soon. That's too bad.

@goalque Thank you so much for the script. It saved me. I have a question about the "Hot Swap". Is it technically possible to remove the mDP cable without shut down the system? I know it not possible now, but in the future can we get that? I'm using Macbook pro and don't want to shut down whenever I need to go out with the laptop and boot again for the eGPU.
