I'm having some issues getting my EGPU setup working.

 

My setup is as follows:

 

Mac mini (Late 2014)

2.6GHZ i5

8GB 1600MHz DDR3

Intel Iris 1536 mb

OSX 10.11.6 (15G31)

 

Akitio thunder2

Gigabyte GTX970

Dell DA2 220w power supply, modified to power card

 

What I have done so far

 

I have been trying to use automate-eGPU to install everything. It seems to work fine (but it does say no board id detected)

I have tried using a bunch of different drivers (have tried all of these for 10.11.6 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306535-nvidia-web-driver-updates-for-el-capitan-update-10242016/ ) 

 

System report lists graphics/Displays as: 

 

Intel Iris (as normal) 

Nvidia Chip Model

 

[Chipset model: Nvidia Chip Model

Type: GPU

Bus: PCIe

PCIe Land Width: x4

VRAM: 256mb

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x13c2

Revision ID: 0x00a1

Rom Revision: Preset 1.0.0]

 

I'm no expert on this process, but it seems most other people are having a much easier time with this process. 

Does anybody have any ideas as to why it isnt working?

 

From what i can tell, others running similar setups, have no issues with the computer reporting what card is connected. 

 

Im very stuck. Any help would be much appreciated. 

 

Cheers!

 

 

 

I have same problem with the same hardware..did you solved?

I bought a gtx 970 mini, I installed it on my Akitio (where before it was installed and recognized a GTX 960 mini).. OSX now doesn't recognize my 970...

Hey all,

Is anybody able to point me in the right direction in getting my eGPU to use CUDA to render in apps such as Lightroom and Photoshop CC?

I used the automated script installer in this thread and got my GPU recognised in OS X (10.11.6).

I didn't find any way to add my GPU to the supported cards list in my adobe apps couse I use only Photoshop and Lightroom, and all the tutorials I found are for video editing software..

Hardware details:

2015 13" Retina Macbook Pro

Intel iris pro 

eGPU - NVIDIA GTX 960 4gb on AKITIO thunderbolt 2

OS X EL Capitan 10.11.6

Is there a way to force Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC to use the GTX 960?

Thanks

Thanks for the info!

Although I’m currently using mostly Photoshop CC / Lightroom CC I was planning to use Premiere Pro & After Effects as well in the near future.

With PS / LR I already knew that I could use my eGPU, now I will benefit even more when using the other Adobe CC Apps as well.

 

 

Have you made a test how much the performance will increase with the GTX 970 compared to the GT650M?

 

I can't use my Egpu with lightroom and photoshop..any advise for me please?

Hey, 

 

If you don't want to mess with adapters just buy the cable outright.

the problem is that I need a FEMALE mini display port to join with the male mini display port that exit from the cinema display..

Apologies for the long link

 

Thanks Miller but it will not works becouse I would need a reverse adapter MALE HDMI to Female MDP and not MDP to HDMI..
Looks the pictures, you will see the cable of my Cinema Display and the back of my Graphic cards..

@8solo5 Hi buddy, all video cards would have the same outputs. Best thing to do is to get an adapter. HDMI to Mini display port.

Thanks for your reply Miller, unfortunately there is no hdmi to mini display port (Female) cable..

Hy Guys this is my first post on this forum, so thanks for all I read untill now!!!
I bought a second hand akitio thinderbolt 2 modified with an NVIDIA GTX 960 MINI ITX, it's arrived today. I installed it on my 13" macbook pro 2015, using the script..now..I have a problem..mac os succesfully recognize the GPU but my external monitor is an apple cinema display, and it has only a mini display in port, the gtx 960 doesn't exit via MDP but hdmi and dvi..so..if I connect the Cinema Display directly on the thunderbolt exit on the akitio box, mac os use only my integrated graphic card..

This is a short video that explains my situation...

Do I need to buy a new Nvidia Card?

Any cheaper solution ?
