Great, thank you, it is much clearer now. So forgetting the TBD I should be ok with 2 Cinema Displays connected directly to a graphics card on the eGPU box. I know ATI(AMD) cards have mini-display ports incorporated in their cards for example: Sapphire R9 380 Compact ITX Nitro OC AMD Graphics Card 4GB is there something specific I need to look for in the specification of the graphics card so it runs 2x27" Cinema Displays at full resolution and at comfortable (full) refresh rate? I need the config to run in OSX, not Windows so if you have had some experience could you please share.

Well I am asking about pears and answers are about apples really... if you read my question, the goal is to drive 2 Apple Displays from a macbook Air. Nowhere in this post i see the answer to this. I know I can attach 1 TB display to TB port and the question is not about that, but about how to attach 2 of them. also and what happens to my threads I am trying to create?

Not on Apple Air, internal GPU is only capable of running one TB display By the way, I have created a new topic but my post ended up in this thread. I thought I did something wrong and tried to open again and it has disappeared after a while. If the moderator is responsible can I know what have I done wrong, as the question is related somehow to this post but not entirely. I really need to know if anyone had experience in attaching 2 Apple screens to an Air. if not thunderbolt maybe just normal Cinema Displays instead? I am looking for a solution which is simple for the end user. Can a thunderbolt monitor be driven by a mini-display port of a normal graphics card attached to say a standard windows desktop?

Hi Everyone the goal is to run 2 thunderbolt displays from Apple Air. Natively it isn't possible as only one will run, hence thinking of eGPU route do you think this will work and if so, which minimalistic graphics card is best to run purely for display purposes (no gaming) as gaming one would probably be GTX970-980 thanks
