Will an Akitio Node work with a 2015 15in MacBook Pro? Anyone doing this as their setup?

I have one, with dedicated graphics card (AMD R9 M370X) want to know whether it would work because of the possible incompatibility of the thunderbolt controller (TI86/87) of the Node

I think I have a similar question. I have a macbook 13" (late 2013) and want to know if this will work with the Akitio Thunder3 with the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 converter cable. I want the Akitio thunder3 as I'll upgrade my macbook in a year or two and want to future proof my purchases. Would like to get definite confirmation from someone who has tried it themselves.

AFAIK the Thunderbolt adapter works only one way. From Th3 > Th2 not the oposite direction

it's a bidirectional adapter. so you can use it with a thunderbolt cable to connect the node into a 2015 MBP. i haven't yet got mine working (work in progess), but i have managed to get my gtx egpu recognised in device manager, and i saw it in msi afterburner too. but still working on it, as for some reason nvidia driver won't install, gets stuck on preparing to install.

I have a Mid 2014 15" MacBook Pro. The Thunderbolt 3->2 adapter+ Thunderbolt 2 cable from the Apple store works fine. I have the Akitio Node Thunder 3( https://www.akitio.com/expansion/node)  with a GTX 1080TI working on Windows 10 via bootcamp and Mac OS v 10.12.5.
