Apple hasn't changed anything on their end and we're not allowed to change anything on our end either... so... no. No good news yet. Still no support for MacOS even with the enabler. :'(
Thank you @ld0891 for the benchmarks. Yeah we know about that little design flaw with the pin connector. I already pointed it out to the team, so I'm hoping that get's fixed in the second wave of production.Reason I haven't provided any benchmarks yet is because the the models that are currently being sold in China/Taiwan are the first wave of production. The second wave of production has a slightly different PSU. Different PSU may mean different voltage outputs. Every little factor counts, so I want to wait before releasing any benchmarks. :'(
In another forums there are reports of Node working with new Macs on 10.2.2.

Any update on macOS compatibility since the release of TB3 enabler?
-
Any update? I plan to buy one and put it in a TB3 enclosure. Any suggestion?

Doing more testing. Actually playing games (Overwatch, Deus Ex: MD), the performance is identical to the 2015 15" MBP. Pretty disappointing.
With?

In another thread has been reported RX480 is now stable under OS X 10.12.2.
i think I will buy one but still I have no clue about the best TB3 enclosure for macOS

I can only speak with 100% certainty for Non-Touchbar 2016 MBP as that is what I have.
Right now you can use TB3 enclosure if you run the script posted at Netkas and elsewhere.
In the TB3 enclosure you can use Kepler GPUs with little trouble in OS X.
You can also use TB2 enclosure (with out TB3 script) if you have a TB3 to TB2 adapter, but still only Kepler cards work OOTB.
If you use a cMP Mac EFI flashed Kepler card it will likely be limited to PCIE 2.0. A PC version should run at PCIE 3.0 in a TB3 enclosure.
The same is possibly true for the other 2016 MBP with touchbar, but I can't say for certain.
Any Kepler card? 690? Thanks!

Damn that some very nice performance for the 13" TB. Still hesitating between a maxed out 13" or a 15" with Radeon Pro 460...
13" with eGPU is the best solution imho. Light to carry, powerful at home/office thanks to eGPU...
hoping some geniuses here manage to let these beasts to work with a TB3 enclosure

Such as? I'm genuinely curious. All the new specs seem like marginal changes.
SSD is uber fast 3GB/s
GPU is faster
slimmer and lighter
touchbar
wide color gamut is WOW
faster ram

Yeah, most likely - as reflected in the physics scores. Only about a 4% improvement between the '15 and '16 CPU's. New MBP really isn't looking like a worthwhile upgrade.
Talking about CPU only. All the rest is a super upgrade imho

Yeah I was running in 4K! Right now I don't have minis, but I could have one soon. Write me a PM
i can't test since I don't have the mini anymore

Hi! I had a Mac mini 2014 until 2 months ago, very nice machine but I would suggest 2,6Ghz version if possible. I often had them to sell (used but tested). Yes exactly, SSD PCIe can be used with that cable. Anyway the speed limit is about 750MB/s even if you you MBP 2015 SSD which could hit 2000MB/s. You can also create a Fusion Drive.
With my Mac mini I was using a Nvidia GTX 970, you can find my thread here.

You can have pci SSD with 2014, faster ram and faster Thunderbolt. But not upgradable ram. Anyway i would
suggest 2014

Has anyone tried using the AKiTio Node with:
- Macbook (Air or Pro released previously than 2016) via Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter or
- Macbook Pro 2016 via Thunderbolt 3
If yes, are there any issues or it's almost plug n play?
Akitio Node is yet to be released, also it is not plug&play for now since its needs a hack for video driver and another hack to let TB3 device to be seen on macOS

Yes,
Metal acceleration does work with the RX 480, OpenCL doesn’t.
RX 460 provides full support:
There is a binary hack for uncertified TB3 enclosures on Netkas forum. Hopper Disassembler reveals many things, but I would not publish reverse engineered information that violates Apple’s SLA section [M].
Very interesting about 480-460! Didn't check this since I was only reading about Nvidia cards, maybe I will switch to Radeon this time given also power consumes.
I've sold my TB2 eGPU and Mac mini, I'm waiting for my new MacBook Pro 2016 to arrive, but I'm worried about which TB3 enclosure choose since Akitio Node doesn't work.
-
Any luck on macOS side?
-
I've sold my eGPU, so I will not able to test it with my incoming MacBook Pro.
Now I must hope to see Akitio Node compatibility updated with Mac support!

Still haven't received mine

Cmon guys give us good news

Kaboodle?
price is for Akitio Mod + GPU + PSU
