Morv Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Mate this egpu setup cost 600 for me it is lot of money and if it didn't work I would be really pissed. By the way for setup1.20 was really usefull.I don't care at all what you paid. Other's bought their stuff as well. But guess what? They created a thread, posted the information needed and got help there. You instead post through several of threads where you keep asking some people for help although the thread has nothing to do with it. xDI simply found that to be funny. That's all. Now have fun with your setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dschijn Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does anyone can help?Please read some guides and other discussions here. You are still proving way too less informations. You really need to explain as much as you can in detail so we can check all the problems. With that little info drops this can take days… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Does anyone can help?I think you'll find that if you volunteer a generous amount of information about your eGPU implementation that then you may get a generous response back.

This is most probably the reason for all of your not working hardware issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firearm2112 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hello,I have been running an eGPU setup consisting of a Macbook Pro, Akitio, and a GTX 980. I am wondering if it is safe to update to windows 10 once it comes out and still have the eGPU working. Right now, I am running Windows 8.1. I ask this, because I was never able to get my eGPU setup working on Windows 7, as I always ran into the device resource allocation bug.Thanks!

juniordiscart Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hello,I have been running an eGPU setup consisting of a Macbook Pro, Akitio, and a GTX 980.

I ask this, because I was never able to get my eGPU setup working on Windows 7, as I always ran into the device resource allocation bug.Thanks!I believe I have seen several people already who got their eGPU setup to work under Windows 10. So if you got it to work under Windows 8(.1), chances are very high you will also get it to work under Windows 10.Edit: Here's a link of a guy who use Windows 10 as his OS: http://forum.techinferno.com/implementation-guides-apple/9802-2013-15-macbook-pro-gt750m-gtx970%4016gbps-tb2-akitio-thunder2-win10tp-%5Biregret%5D.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links makes all 9 versionens possible But I think that any of those cards will be fine, only the FTW+ and the SSC+ will have a 1x8-Pin and 1x6-Pin.
