DIY Macbook Pro e-GPU experience

Recommended Posts

Two weeks ago I built an e-GPU for my Macbook Pro Late-2013:

Hardware

nVidia GTX 1050 TI  -  Palit NE5105T018G1F 4GB (DDR5 128bit)
Akitio Thunderbolt2 PCIe Expansion Box with the included power supply 60 w

 

Software

Windows 10 1607 64-bit in a bootcamp partition

nVidia Geforce driver V 376.09 (default installation)

 

After the hardware assembling, i tested it with the Akitio 60 W power supply. I did not expect that it would work, but it did. 

No issues with several benchmarks and games.

Every 1 of 5 windows startups, it ends with a black screen (did not test with external display).

 

What changes/installations must be done under Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.2 to get it running?
