Fabi0815 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Hello Guys, i use the Akitio Thunder 2 PCIe Box with a Riser and Molex Plug on my Nvidia Geforce GTX 970. On the first start i booted into Windows 10 and there was directly a Graphic update available. After Download and installing it the Graphiccard showed up in Hardware Manager an the Card is working perfectly. My Problem is, that i can't get it run in Mac. I use 10.11.6 El Capitan. I installed CUDA and Nvidia Web Driver. I guess i tried all versions. The Akitio Box is showed up in my hardware on Mac but no graphic card. I also tried the automatic script but it says "no eGPU founded". I add a few pictures. Please Help me i don't know what else to do.

ti_padawan Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) A quick thing that comes to mind (EDIT: ah, I can see the connection now, nevermind ): I can't see your GTX 970 connected to your external monitor (e.g. via DisplayPort) on the picture. Do I assume correctly that you're using a Thunderbolt display which is connected to the other port of your Akitio? If so, that is mostly likely a wrong setup. I think that Bizon FAQ (Bizon is a modified Akitio) says that OS X won't detect the card unless it's directly connected to the external monitor.

Fabi0815 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 No. at the Moment its connected through HDMI since i get my new wqhd Monitor. i installed 10.10.5 Yosemite and now the egpu works. i reinstalled El Capitan an it didnt work at all. why? my Problem now is, when i make a reboot i get a Black Screen and the MBP is getting very hot. if i Turn the MBP off, wait and Boot again it works. do You have a solution for that?

JayinNJ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Make sure the gpu and Akitio are powered from the same PSU. When booting I always wait till I see the apple symbol before plugging in the Thunderbolt cable. If I don't wait it will sometimes hang.
