Hi All,
Thanks to all for the knowledge here, it's been great reading.
Set up my first eGPU today, a an EVGA Hybrid 980ti connected to a Highpoint TB2 mounted inside a mini ITX case with PSU. Was running 10.10.1 and ran the scripts, GPU showed up as Nvidia Device, then figured out I needed to update OS to have it show as a 980ti. So I am now on 10.10.5.
Ran the script a 2nd time, it downloaded drives (for the 2nd time) even though it doesn't find a mac board ID. Installed drivers, rebooted... and it reboots in a loop. Reboot, grey screen saying press any key, reboot, grey screen etc etc.
What would be the trouble here? I assume my components are okay as the eGPU was detected under 10.10.1, just not as the correct exact card (Octane Bench would not see it).
Do I need to un-install the script? Run again?
Going to the Nvidia panel, it detects other drives again... which ones to use? Ones from script or ones from Nvidia?
I get this message box saying the default OSX graphics driver is being used

Is this the thing where I need an external display connected for this to start up correctly? I remember reading that but now can't find the source for that info.
