Apple Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 adapter

[ikir]

Hi all! I will try as soon as possible new Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter they announced few hours ago. I really hope i can use my homemade Akitio eGPU with Nvidia 970GTX on my MacBook Pro 13" 2016 which i've ordered!

 

I will post here my result, do the same if you can try it sooner than me

It would be awesome if we would be able to use our TB2 eGPU without issues.

You can pick this up at apple stores now (dont order online still 1-2 weeks wait)

 

hoping someone can test this to see if it works.

 

I have a macbook pro retina mid 2012 and hoping i can use this with the either the node or new thunderbolt devices!

I'm following this, since probably I'm going to get a older gen second hand mbp. Would be nice to have the possibility to use the node on that with an adapter and have it ready for a future purchase of a mpb.

As long as your MBP runs macOS, the adapter can definitely do MBP - TB2 <--> TB3 - eGPU.

so does this work!????

Edit: Didn't see this thread. Hopefully this works!

Still haven't received mine

I've sold my eGPU, so I will not able to test it with my incoming MacBook Pro.

 

Now I must hope to see Akitio Node compatibility updated with Mac support!
