Yea but now maybe I'm thinking it could be how my Akitio is powered. Do my stats look right for my 980 Ti in Cuda-Z?

@pyramidgod: Sth like this?

I tried to make it work for CC 2015 but it still doesn't work. It's functioning properly for you?

Everything is working and recognized but I cannot use CUDA in Premiere Pro CC 2015 on OSX. It can see it in After Effects when I put use non supported cards also but no hope in Premiere Pro!

How did you get it to work?

I'm have a similar issue. I have a maxed out Late 2013 Macbook Proand GTX 980 TI w/ 850 EVGA Power Supply. My main use in Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere (I've also used Adobe Media Encoder) and it seems as though it's not working. Can I change the supported cards lists in CC 2015? I can see it in After Effects when I turn on allow unsupported cards but still not Premiere Pro.

It doesn't even seem like it's working while I'm rendering in premiere.

I have a maxed out Late 2013 Macbook Pro and GTX 980 TI w/ 850 EVGA Power Supply. Mine is bottlenecking as my main use in Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere. How can you run two Titans and I can barely run one 980 TI? Can I change the settings to make it work better?

The performance issue is due to the 16Gbps-TB2 port being shared between the eGPU and RAID storage

When playing 4k on premier you are sharing the 16Gbps TB2 bandwidth with your RAID Thunderbolt 2 G-Drive causing a massive decrease in eGPU performance.

You can see this if you copy your movie to the onboard SSD storage, disconnect your G-Drive and then play the movie to the eGPU. There the full 16Gbps TB2 link will be provided to the eGPU.

The bad news is Apple do not have a current Macbook product where any TB2 ports get a full exclusive 16Gbps per port. Eg: if you upgraded to say the 15" MBP with 2x TB2 ports, those ports are shared across the same bus so will still be sharing a 16Gbps (x4 2.0) upstream bus across each port. More details at https://forum.techinferno.com/implementation-guides-apple/8585-2014-15-macbook-pro-2x-r9_280x%4016gbps-tb2-netstor-na211tb-win8-1-osx-%5Bgoalque%5D-2.html#post117339

Fixes for this shared bandwidth issue

So then what's needed is to move your storage and eGPU on separate interfaces. Is there a RAID USB 3.0 product <strike>or can you host your image on network-attached storage (NAS)</strike>? @apple, giving no LAN port is ridiculous.

Unless you require OSX you may want to look at other high performance TB2/TB3 notebooks with less hardware restrictions (ie: 100Gbps LAN, PCIe storage, optical drives) by HP/Dell/Lenovo/Acer.

THANKS FOR THE HELP! I'm going to have to drop my footage on my SSD while I edit a project for now. I recently had my maxed out late 2013 15" retina stolen and got this maxed out 13" for now until the macbook with thunderbolt 3 comes out. I also tried it on my quadcore iMac with thunderbolt 1 and it was pretty much useless lol

Im running the eGPU set up with the Akitio Thunder2, GTX 980 Ti SC 2.0, EVGA 850w Bronze and a Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina maxed out for that year at 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16gb RAM, 1TB SSD. I'm using this set up for Premiere and Davinci Resolve as CUDA.

It doesn't play 4k in real time in premiere. It also only exports 4k at 14-10fps avg or lower and 1080p at real time for around 24-30fps to my RAID Thunderbolt 2 G-Drive. My CPU says its at 350% when running these processes. Is the CPU just bottlenecking everything? I saw people running setups off lesser CPUs with less powerful cards and getting better playback? HELP PLEASE ANYONE!!
