DIY Macbook Pro e-GPU experience
in Apple eGPU discussion
Posted · Edited by magusi

Two weeks ago I built an e-GPU for my Macbook Pro Late-2013:
Hardware
nVidia GTX 1050 TI - Palit NE5105T018G1F 4GB (DDR5 128bit)
Akitio Thunderbolt2 PCIe Expansion Box with the included power supply 60 w
Software
Windows 10 1607 64-bit in a bootcamp partition
nVidia Geforce driver V 376.09 (default installation)
After the hardware assembling, i tested it with the Akitio 60 W power supply. I did not expect that it would work, but it did.
No issues with several benchmarks and games.
Every 1 of 5 windows startups, it ends with a black screen (did not test with external display).
What changes/installations must be done under Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.2 to get it running?
