Dschijn Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Seems like there is another eGPU kickstarter: http://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/the_wolfe_thunderbolt_gpu_enclosure_hits_kickstarter/1 Quote Technical (Wolfe): GPU: Nvidia GTX 950 - I/O: 3x Displayport, 1x HDMI, 1x Thunderbolt - Power: 220 Watt Mobile PSU Technical (Wolfe Pro): - GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 - I/O: 3x Displayport, 1x HDMI, 1x Thunderbolt - Power: 220 Watt Mobile PSU Let me guess which 220W PSU it is ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyB33 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Dam you beat me to the post! This product pretty looks nice but this is not t the first time this idea has been on kickstarter. Hopefully they are more successful than the bull box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errin Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Akitio is way more beautiful than this one. And if I would buy a new enclosure I'd go for Razer or wait for the other major companies release a new one with cheaper price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Especially with TB3 it does not make sense! The competition will be way too big. Razer Core should be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) as expected... Quote Hello everyone, We want to start by saying how much we appreciate all of our backers. Your enthusiasm has proven to the world that our shared vision for the Wolfe can become a reality. We’re writing today to share some important news: we are going to be cancelling our Kickstarter campaign, and refunding your pledges in full. Our success has attracted the attention of some big players in the industry, who recently reached out to us about the Wolfe. Through these conversations, it became clear there would be some uncertainty in attaining the product certifications essential for the Thunderbolt 2 (and thus macOS) versions of the Wolfe. We decided it wouldn’t be right to accept pledges from you, our earliest supporters, with these new developments and changes to our timeline. However, these factors will allow us to bring you an even better product in the near future as we work with our new partners in the industry. We are incredibly excited about the next steps for the Wolfe, and the future of this Kickstarter community. Thank you for an amazing campaign. We’ll be back. Sincerely, The Wolfepack Edited September 23, 2016 by Dschijn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 On 23/09/2016 at 7:18 PM, Dschijn said: as expected... Yes. Intel would have had a lot of emails from product partners AKiTiO, Sonnet, ASUS, MSI, etc asking why these students with slick marketting are being allowed to reap eGPU/eGFX profits. Something they themselves were denied. Moreso when you consider Wolfe cooked up a product: an ABS plastic outer shell that matches the Apple design ethos, probably InXTron/AKiTiO internals, some software installer with percentage bar and an Apple-esque marketting video + kickstarter campaign. To their credit they acknowledged gathering ideas from the DIY eGPU community. The most obvious one was the use of a 220W Dell DA-2 AC adapter. @goalque needing to change his automated-eGPU.sh OSX script license to prevent it's plunder by Wolfe or BizonTech. Villagetronic also counted their Thunderbolt eGPU chickens way back in 2011 before being shutdown by Intel: http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/01/external-thunderbolt-pci-expansion-chassis-and-hub-in-development/ I've explained how pluggable CUDA/OpenCL processing via eGPU would cannabalize Intel's core CPU market: https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/6399-why-are-intel-not-allowing-thunderbolt-egpus-ideas-inside/ . Intel's careful Thunderbolt product placement protecting their CPU market. In short, Intel has the last say on how it's Thunderbolt technology is to be used. Something the Wolfe team now know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrawitz Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It looks like these folks were able to create a box the will be bi-directional and will be able to use the internal screen of a device running Mac OS on Thunderbolt 2 or 3, any more DIY progress on getting the internal screen of a macbook pro/iMac to work with eGPU? https://thewolfe.io Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
