wasi88 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi,I am really in a dilemma here. My only motive for the Egpu is to play pc games only on the MAC BOOK'S internal display with retina resolution and ultra settings.I have read that gtx 970 is capable of playing games at 2560x1440p with decent FPS. so what should i buy for my egpu built. is GTX 970 would be enough powerful to let me play "Latest Games" like FarCry 4 at native "Retina Resolution" with "Ultra" (maxed out) settings. if you have any egpu setup with akitio and gtx 970, would you please show me the benchmarks of your system using "Optimus internal screen at 2560x1600 or retina resolution". i would really appreciate it if any of you can provide different benchmarks at 2560x1600 resolution."FYI: I have 2014 retina macbook pro 15.4" iris only with 2 GHz cpu (3.2 GHz Turbo) and akitio thunder 2 pcie box"Hope to hear from you soon.

Akkarin Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hello guysI have a 2013 MBP with iris hd and the 750m gt... i made it work so far that it just haves error 12 (took me a week -.- ). has some of you found out how to make it work? i cant enable the iGPU (it sais i cant with chipset 6+) or disable the dGpu (freezes). but it detects the gtx 970 in the 1.3 setup and on windows. i think my mistake is the code i copied in the pci.bat file and the startup file. is there a new version of that code for my macbook already?thanks for all kind of help <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykora3 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Am I able to remove the graphics at my will whenever I want to? Turned off of course if I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykora3 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 With this setup are you able to remove the graphics at your will? Or does it have to be connected to your computer all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykora3 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Does this mean that the akitio thunder2 and other enclosers are using thunderbolt without Intel's permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Weri Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah internal screen is a bit low compared with external display. This time score is 9225 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i5-2415M Processor,Apple Inc. Mac-94245B3640C91C81Hi.I have the exact same setup but somehow it's only working on my Yosemite. I use the Palit GTX 970.I'm unable to get neither of the internal display nor the external display to work with the GTX 970 plugged in after installing the NVIDIA Driver.I installed the NVIDIA driver using my internal display (the external display receives no signal from the start). My eGPU was obviously detected when I install the driver.After installing the driver, both displays just boot to a black screen when I boot into Windows.Do you have any idea how to fix this? I have tried reinstalling Windows 5-6 times already.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zl0gs Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 [h=2]EGPU recognized only when external monitor is set as primary[/h]Hey tech inferno. I have been having a lot of trouble with my gtx 760/sonnet SEL/13" late 2013 rMBP. I have successfully gotten it to work on windows 10 using the optimus script. On OSX10.10.1 it only works when i have an external monitor set as primary. When i go to about this mac with the external monitor as primary, it shows my gtx 760. But when i set my internal monitor as primary, it says it is set on IntelIris. What do I need to do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
