Torsten Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey there,Currently I've daisy chained two thunderbolt displays to my mid 2012 retina macbook pro (with discrete graphics). Now I want to add an eGPU to my setup but I'm not really sure how / if it will work. What would be the best way to get this working? I would really like to keep my displays.I could not find an answer to this question and I'm very new to the whole eGPU thing. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arise Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Daisy chaining means you are going to share the thunderbolt bandwidth between those devices you connect, so your eGPU is going to run bottlenecked. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I'm sacrificing some performance, but will it actually work or is using a thunderbolt display subject to the same restrictions as using optimus (only works with no discrete graphics) ?
