What you need is an appropriate web driver that would enable the system to use the card to accelerate the video output. But like I said, such web driver has not been "released" (developed?) yet and it will probably take a long time still, if there's ever going to be one... Chance for you to solve this problem on your own is like 1 in a million - basically none :). What you can do is install another system on your Mac - a display driver has been released for both Windows and Linux.

 

On the contrary, CUDA driver for macOS and pascal cards is released and working. But I don't know if CUDA is going to work without the web driver...

i saw a video where someone uses a 1070 on a macbook, explain that,

I'm just a graphic designer. I asked around and the people who make eGPU told me it's ok and then I bought my graphic card and other tools to make my eGPU. It wasn't so easy to make one, but with help I did. I have to mention that it's a little bit annoying when you need to change your resolution of your screen and a little bit for speed. but the speed of my eGPU 10 times faster than my AMD card.   

yeah but all of the posts i find tell me that it's not compatible with it, and then you come here with it working, how? do i have to deactivate the amd?

There are no OS X drivers for NVidia 1000 series cards yet and I reckon they will still take quite some time...

i can see, this is going to be a little bit annoying to be waiting, when i went into nvidia website they had a CUDA driver for mac, let's say it doesn't work with it (which it doesn't seem), is the CUDA driver not the correct one and just a old one? because when i go to system information> graphics/displays it does recognize that there is a card, but it calls it display, and it says no kext loaded...at this point i have no idea what to do. I'm guessing that i need some sort of kernel extension to use it?

edit: when i run the script this appears, if it's interesting:

Detected eGPU

Current OS X

 10.12.2 16C67

Previous OS X

Checking IOPCITunnelCompatible keys...

IOPCITunnelCompatible mods are valid.

Mac board-id found.

Searching for matching driver...

Your system is eGPU enabled and Nvidia web driver is up to date.

i'm trying to use a 1060 but it doesn't recognize the model, it just says display.

 does it have to do with the amd discrete graphics?

I made my decision. I'm going to downgrade my Sierra to El Capitan. (I hate you, Sierra!) 

how did you get amd discrete graphics work with your egpu? (i saw your signature at the end with it XD)
