Help! Mac Mini (late 2014), Akitio Thunder 2, GTX970 OSX 10.11.6
Dizza replied to Dizza's topic in Apple eGPU discussion
All sorted! Turns out it was a dodgy card! (inspected the traces, and one of the ground traces was missing a component) Got it swapped and we are up and running! There are heaps of guides online that talk you through the process. It's identical to any other MAC running that OS. Just follow those steps and you'll be fine! I don't really have time to type out a guide, too much work to catch up on (which will be much faster now) -

I only tried some other links when the first did not work. It knows the GPU is there, just doesn't know what it is or how to use it. I've been trying to do it manually, but it's very hard to find the info. You're right. I only left the beaten path when the tried and true solutions didn't work. I tried it in my 2014 Macbook Pro i7 and it didn't work there either. I'm beginning to think that the card isn't working for some reason. Going to swap it out for a Gigabyte 750ti today and see if that works (seems to be a lot more success stories with that card) -

yes, I had done that. Just checked again, and it's still disabled. -

Nvidia web drivers are turned on. I have tried the drivers that the script installed, and attempted about a dozen alternatives as well. This is all on a fresh install of El Capitan as well. -
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!
