maxgeb Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Yesterday i put together my eGPU-Setup (1060 because i want to play games in windows, i don't mind the lacking drivers for mac os). MB Pro Retina 11,1 (Late 2013) Akitio Thunder 2 with a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 IXOC 3GB (card is a little too high to close the akitio without modding the case) Only a Desktop PSU connected to the GPU, no Power to the Akitio itself (didn't want to hack around with the wires) Win 10 To Go on a USB-3.0 Samsung T1 SSD It works in Windows if.... Boot first into Mac Os Hotplug the powered GPU via Thunderbolt to macos (no drivers but gets recognized as pci device) run the automate-eGPU.sh -a script (had to boot into recovery terminal once) do a soft-reboot into windows windows boots onto the external monitor connected to the gpu internal screen stays black so far, Intel Iris is not available in device manager A Power-off, wait, and Power-on Power cycle prior booting to windows (or hot-plugging in windows) didn't work in any way, i tried almost 50 times.
