  1. If my GTX 690 doesn't work and my GeForce 8500 GT does, which will probably happen, I'll buy a GTX 660 which is relatively cheap compared to 690 and I can use it almost 100% with this generation thunderbolt. With GTX 690 TH05 I'll probably only use 20-30% due to bandwidth. But even if a normal single GPU graphics card doesn't work I'm gonna have to try EFI again^^, at least until I wait for someone to modify DIY eGPU 1.1x to work with dual GPU cards. The reason I gave up of EFI was the wireless problem and the system was really slow. That + no sound it made me nervous^^ I'll tell you here if it works. - - - Updated - - - And once again I need to thank you for all the assistance you've gave me
  2. Sheltoe I'm having some help from nando to do the boot way. I've already noticed that DIY eGPU 1.1x can't recognize GTX 690 probably because of the 2 GPU's it has inside. GeForce 8500GT it recognized I'll post the findings here
  3. Configure the \config\startup.bat to do the pci-e fixups and then chainload to Win8. call speedup lbacache :: wait for eGPU to be on the PCI BUS call vidwait 60 10de:11c0 :: initialize NVidia eGPU call vidinit -d 10de:11c0 :: Perform the pci-e fixups call pci :: Chainload to the MBR call grub4dos mbr:: Speed up end-to-end runtime of startup.bat using caching Confirm this fixes error 12 against the eGPU as it did for me. Once confirmed to work, streamline this into the more convenient and faster booting disk image install of Setup 1.1x. It's more convenient as you'll no longer need to hit ALT to boot the USB stick. Instead, you'll have a DIY eGPU Setup 1.x Win8 bootitem. Proceed to copy your \config\pci.bat and \config\startup.bat from your USB stick to the Setup 1.1x disk image V:\config directory as mounted within Win8. The reason can't just use the disk image install for everything is because a Macbook doesn't do the disk mapping correctly so can't be used within the Setup 1.1x pre-boot environment to configure the system. Instead, the USB stick is used for initial configuration and when done, the pertinent configuration files copied across to the disk image for read-only access. After installing 1.x I dont have the file ~pci.bat
  4. Okay, I've already done this Iºve installed Windows 8 too can you help me do the nando version? All his codes are right for the macbook pro retina 15?? I've noticed that my pc on windwos 8 notices right away my egpu but has the error 12 problem. But at least you can always see the egpu, and it recognizes it as plug and play
  5. I'm having a problem now, my windows 8 is crashing and restarting non-stop I can't install windows 8 on bootcamp and try to get egpu work somehow? Like the bios mode from nando?
  6. It shouldn't help to have all the drivers ready? sound and etc? installation is done when i reboot and press alt it shows macintosh / recovery / EFI Boot (this means it's all set?) what the next step? When I try to get in the win8 it freezes on a black screen and then says it got error and a sad face. Then It restarts and starts win8
  7. Okay, install windows in which place? I have 4: partition 1: EFI (probably because of previous try i've done) partition 2: 558.8 gb (I believe its osx here, i've put it to 600G partition 3: 619 mb (don't know what this is) Unnallocated space on unit 0: 140.1 gb (that's the rest of my ssd) After installing I go to apple and download the bootcamp drivers?
  8. That is to size my macintosh hd I already have? Wouldn't it be easier to size my macintosh hd via diskutility without creating a new partition? Like this: something happened when i deleted my bootcamp via Disk Utility, it showed a disk0s4 in it's place, what I do about this? And for last, when I need to do the process you mentioned before: 1. Install rEFIt 2. In Mac OS mount the EFI partition using terminal: 3. Create a textfile called "startup.nsh" in it's root: 4. Reboot while eGPU is connected (SW1=1) and select "start EFI-Shell" in rEFIt. "startup.nsh" launches and Windows 8 starts up with eGPU enabled.
  9. How did you downloaded from within osx? you don't need to run that program they tell you to download? And matters the type of windows you get? And I need an answer about the deleting bootcamp
