@goalque sorry for being so mia but I think it's obvious @Uhlhorn works for bizon. You've done enough for this community and everyone should respect that, period.

its weird seeing some of you guys have booting issues. what PSU are u guys running, how are you powering ur eGPU? for me i don't have to go through ANY boot up processes. I just keep akitio plugged in, power supply turned on, and no matter how many times i restart my computer or even crashes, it boots up fine.

It's currently only working on the Windows side. I don't think a firmware was released yet for the mac side yet.

is your 1070 working fine on OS X?

Yes, both founders edition. My solution was to plug my Evga into my PC first, upgrade firmware and plug it back into my iMac as a eGPU

interesting discovery. i just recieved my second 1080 from EVGA but it doesnt seem to work in windows. The one i got directly from Nvidia works perfectly.

Gaming isn't the only reason why i got a eGPU. I work in the vfx industry so I do very graphic intensive work. Honestly, everything was pretty much plug and play for me. All I had to do was update the driver once windows detected the external display. I don't have to go through the whole boot process that some people here go through either. I just keep my power supply on and turn on/off my computer like normal.

let me know if you come by any solutions. I too have been trying to get my 1080 to work on OS X. Works perfectly on Windows.

U don't need pcie riser. Multiple threads suggest using a molex or 6pin is better. Also I thought 1070 needed at least 500w.

Sorry for not being clear but I have the thunderbolt Cinema Display. Also unless I have the attached thunderbolt cable from the thunderbolt display to akitio, it will stay black no power. Connecting directly to eGPU HDMI doesn't seem to do anything.. I'm guessing hdmi to thunderbolt doesn't work..? In Windows, nvidia gpu activity shows both GPU, but the 980ti shows inactive and can't get anything to run on it..

my iMac is connected to the eGPU and eGPU connected to my external display. But my external display still using 780m and won't run any programs off of the egpu edit: just rereading, do you mean connect directly to the card using HDMI to thunderbolt, and not connecting to akitio? Currently the iMac and external is connected to the akitio through thunderbolt

update: NVidia gpu activity shows 980ti and 780m, but all apps are being run in 780m. How can I switch GPU? I have it connected to thunderbolt cinema display.

I'm stuck at the same spot and can't seem to find the solution. Did you get it to work? Not working with external cinema displayCinema Display

Hey Guys, I've been going through endless threads on this awesome forum and I cant seem to find the answer. I have my akitio and gtx1080 powered by a 650w EVGA 8pin to barrel and both osx and windows seem to detect it fine. I'm also using a external Thunderbolt Cinema Display. OSX Yosemite 10.10.5: I've installed the script which downloaded webdriver 346.02.03f01 and I've set the graphic driver to the Nvidia webdriver. System report shows both 780m and 980ti but both monitors are still being powered by the 780m. I've tried setting my external monitor as my main, but there is no difference in benchmark. Windows 10 EFI: I've had bootcamp windows 10 installed with the latest drivers on my imac already and system report shows its running on EFI. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to the latest nvidia driver and both cards show in the device manager. Initially I've ran into code 12 but when I restarted my machine, it shows both cards working fine. I just cant seem to get anything running on my 980ti even if i set my external as main. I feel like I might've missed something but I'm not sure..? Setup: Imac connected to Akitio - Akitio connected to cinema display.
