MacBook Pro Retina mid-2012 OS X 10.11 / Win 10
in Apple eGPU discussion
Posted
First off I want to say thank you to the community here. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without the hard work and dedication of everyone who blazed the trail before me and shared their experience.
I wanted to post my success story in case others were trying to do something similar.
Hardware
OS X (worked on both 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan
I've been successfully using my eGPU under OS X for over a year. Thanks to Goalque's Automate eGPU script. Really is super easy. Major props.
Some thoughts, in no particular order
Windows 10
Just got this working last weekend. I originally used bootcamp, which on my device sets up windows to use MBR. Could not get it to work even with the help of Setup 1.30 / 1.2. Out of boredom I nuked the windows partition and re-configured everything to boot EFI. I eventually got everything working using the DSDT override.
Some additional thoughts, in no order
I have screenshots of everything. Unigine Valley benchmarks in both OS X and Win. I'll add tomorrow.
Realize this may not be a great guide for others trying to replicate, but wanted to share my success story as a guide post for others with similar hardware. And to say thanks again to the community. I've been an avid reader of the guides and other builds as I worked through mine.
Feel free to ask any questions. I'll help where I can.
