  1. @Hedge unfortunately can't tell for sure, I'm still a bit curious myself, but this way there're rendering issues all over and the booting took way longer to complete so it's far from ideal to thrive. Can't tell for sure because I was playing with setup and connecting the monitor either to macbook or to the akito or to both via HDMI/mDP and seeing what will change. Also this happened only with double thunderbolt connection from akito to mac. It can also be different per monitor cause mine is still identified on both mac and video card when it's powered down via button (but connected to a power outlet). I think I've found the issue and it's clearly the low default akito PSU output (60W I believe). Unfortunately I was being casual about this and got myself a regular PSU expecting to use a graphic card with additional power, but the one I got actually didn't have extra power pins and I don't have a different PSU suitable for akito with higher output on hand. Internal display actually always runs on native graphics (I've confirmed with running benchmarks), that's why I didn't see any glitches with it. When I do disconnect display from everywhere prior bootup and connect after - I do get it connected via the eGPU, runs smoothly for regular work, but crashes on benchmarks/games (hopefully solvable with another PSU). Anyway thanks a lot for insights really helped me to have a basic setup working over the evening and still had some enthusiasm left to play with it a bit w/o screwing up my schedule =D
  2. @Hedge have you encountered issue with external display graphics staggering when on eGPU? I have a similar setup with MSI RX460 (which fits into Thunder2 w/o any additional screwdriving), seems to be running w/o a different PSU as well. The issue however is that when I boot with external display connected through eGPU (and as main display), the internal retina display renders just fine, while external has visible rendering issues all over (e.g. dragging a window leaves a trail). Since the external has actual resolution lower, I'd thought cable would be an issue, but I tried both HDMI and Display port - same result.
