swordbing Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have a 2013 late 15' rmbp with 750m. Through the introduction of eGPU here, I want to setup up one for my mac. I know that the eGPU won't work with the internal display under windows. How about under the OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 UPDATE: So it looks like it was a power issue. the GTX 970 has lots of small spikes which caused my PSU to shut off. Weird.. I am now using a Corsair 450 watt and all is well! Man.. so annoying tracking down an issue that happens only *somtimes* heheEDIT: Ok so optimus works perfectly. This time it doesn't work just with Windows 8.1 uEFI. You need Setup 1.x to get this working. (for maxwell cards and a G46VW) @ha1o2surfer, would you mind posting a thread detailing your eGPU implementation like done at Asus G46VW eGPU TB Project: Now with a 970! - Graphics Cards - Linus Tech Tips ?

(Rendering, Gaming, Browsing, Extended display)- Is the system stable ?- What type of issue do/did you encounter?- Did you manage to solve it and get a 100% stable system?I hope I did not forget any important informations, If so add it to your post and I will update the guidelines accordingly.Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Edward Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What is DIY eGPU setup and what is it used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellcorreo Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Unfortuantelyn no. karthikrajanv has the GT650M 2012 15" Macbook Pro. Apple firmware preventing it's HD4000 iGPU being functional under Windows. Without the iGPU, NVidia Optimus will not activate and so cannot provide an accelerated internal LCD mode. The best he can do is drag a *windowed app* that runs on the eGPU LCD to the internal LCD. Can't do that with full screen apps.Tech Inferno Fan help me with the DIY eGPU Setup 1.20.... i have the same system, only change the video card GTX480.

ernst Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi, sorry for crying out for help straight away, but I'm getting quite desperate with my setup.Trying to get HD 5850 to work with HP4530s (no dGPU, Corei5 with HD3000, 8G RAM) through PE4C 2.1 with expresscard adapter.Things I've tried (in order of trying):DSDT override (according to official guide) outcome: got the .aml loaded (compiled with warnings, but no errors) and the PCI bus under "Large memory". Win7 seems to fail to assign eGPU to the large memory bus (still get error 12).DSDT override with 36bit compaction (tried out a few different combinations)Uninstalled the DSDT, tried the 32bitA compaction (works only if use "for all devices")outcome (for both): got over the error 12, installed the display driver. eGPU works until I try anything (as it feels) hardware-acceleration-related - even booting up with screen connected or trying to maximize a window (any graphics - of course) gives me the BSOD.I'm actually wondering if it might be the faulty GPU/PSU or I can try doing something with Win7 and Setup 1.x?Going to try finding a way to test the setup with a different PSU/GPU and/or test the existing 5850 on a different PC now.

darkydark Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thank you for the startup process, will be sure to implement it soon.Delay switch is already in the left position. Right one, regardless of when i try to plug in eGPU (prePost, in setup 1.x, os selection, when system is in sleep or just plug it when windows are booted) results in Master Blaster fan speeds on eGPU and no recognition.
