Hi, I have quite the same configuration (the only difference is the processor, mine is i7 4980hq but it shouldn't be a problem).

I'm thinking about building the same setup, but using DELL's DA-2 PSU.

 

Could you please add some benchmarks, like the Unigine Valley/Heaven, or some in-game benchmarks like GTA V or Tomb Raider's?

 

Thank you for your time

Hi! I will do some benchmarks when I have the time and the softwares. In the meantime, you can check out a lot of posts from this forum. A lot of them have done benchmarks already with similar setups! Best of luck to you!

First, I wanna thank everyone in this awesome forum that made this project possible!

 

Current Setup:

 

 

My parts:

 

Akitio Thunder2

ZOTAC GTX 1060 Mini

EVGA 400w PSU

Insignia DC travel adapters (for Molex to Barrel Plug-n-Play) from BestBuy 

 

15' MacBook Pro with Retina Display (GT 750m)

ASUS MG248Q 144Hz refresh rate Gaming Monitor

Keyboard and mouse w/ USB hub

 

 

 

My problems:

 

1. [SOLVED] Code 12 on the eGPU in Device Manager

According to @Nando's suggestion, reinstalling Windows helps. (in EFI boot mode)

 

2. [SOLVED] Code 43 on the eGPU in Device Manager

Do NOT update the drivers to the newest from Nvidia, version 320.70 works as far as I tested.

 

3. [UNSOLVED] Booting problems

Just like everyone, booting successfully with eGPU with kind of a luck thing...

 

 

 

I'll put on more photos when I have the time!

 

 

THANKS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place to post this. Sorry if I'm messing up this section  : )

 

Can I please ask you guys a question about the eGPU setup around a MBP with dGPU.

 

So, I know that using internal display with eGPU in a MBP with dGPU will be complicated and a pain in the ass to get it to boot and work,

 

But i was wondering since I have a external gaming display at home, and there's no need for me to use the eGPU in the internal display, will it be much easier

 

and more stable to set up?

 

(  i have a 2013 15'' MBP with 750m with Windows installed via EFI, and I'm planning to get Akitio2 + GTX1060)

 

 

Thanks for your time!!
