viniguez Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I uninstalled everything again and ran it consecutively at home. I am using the Akitio Thunder 2 box, the NVIDIA GTX 750ti, and a 500W psu. The laptop is connected via HDMI to my 40" television from the eGPU. System Report still states my eGPU as an NVIDIA Chip Model on a PCIe bus. The television is not receiving any signal whatsoever. The Display settings do not detect another screen. Here is the install I did through Terminal.

euqlaog Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 @viniguez Everything looks good. My GTX 750 Ti works on 10.11.3. You haven't touch any kext files manually and FileVault is turned off? The best commands for troubleshooting: https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/7989-script-automating-the-installation-of-egpu-on-os-x-inc-display-output/&page=12#comment-130567 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniguez Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 FileVault is off but I did edit a kext file a couple of months ago. Specifically a kext called osx-pl2303.kext in order to control a telescope mount from my computer using an RS-232 to USB adapter. I still have the file that I used and I implemented it using kextdrop. Does this mean I will have to do a clean install of OS X? I tried the first line in Terminal and it didn't do anything after I hit enter. The second kext command returned this: USER-Air:~ USER$ kextstat -l | grep NVDA 131 2 0xffffff7f80f04000 0x2e4000 0x2e4000 com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb (10.0.9) 5E633570-243D-3CBA-92AC-77A33DF8CF05 <102 98 94 12 7 5 4 3 1> 140 0 0xffffff7f811f7000 0x1ff000 0x1ff000 com.nvidia.web.NVDAGM100HalWeb (10.0.9) D3E0FD94-828C-3FCD-967D-6378BE9D9DF2 <131 12 4 3> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euqlaog Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Since the first command didn't do anything, something is wrong with the kexts. I recommend a fresh installation of OS X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniguez Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Damn. Well, I will have to begin to copy over my stuff to my back up drive and perform a clean install. But just to clarify, restoring from a recent back up won't fix the kext issue, correct? Thanks again for all your help! Wife is leaving to visit a family member for a week so I definitely want to get this working in order to play Rust!

Wife and kids are leaving to visit a family member for a week so I definitely want to get this working in order to play Rust! It’s very strange that the syslog didn’t output any NVDA related row. According to kextstat, correct kexts are loaded. There should be at least one occurrence of these: Driver "NVDAStartup" needs "IOPCITunnelCompatible" key in plist NVDAStartupWeb: Web NVDAGM100HAL loaded and registered You can also open a Console and search from there. As if a IOPCITunnelCompatible key existed in NVDAStartup.kext. It shouldn’t be there. A normal reinstall from OS X Recovery (Command+R) may help. Your personal files won’t be deleted, but backing up files is always a good idea. The last option is to erase the disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitsilent Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi goalque, i was install the GTX 950 + DELL DA-2 + Akitio Thunder2 successfully, but the performance is kind of slow, it should not be that slow. it might be the PSU ? or the driver problem ? i was run your script, and do anything correctly , i can see my GTX model show in the about my mac. i have no idea why that slow.

euqlaog Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 @hitsilent A screenshot of OS X 10.11? So you didn’t follow the update procedure that I described? The GTX 950 is supported on OS X 10.11.3. The script will take care of matching the correct web driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniguez Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I am an idiot. A big stupid idiot. Turns out I didn't have the riser connected to the psu. Graphic card reading fine now. Thank you to everyone on this forum for the help. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniguez Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well, I seem to be having another issue. My external monitor is sluggish and the mouse scrolling is too. I have the monitors mirrored right now with the macbook lid closed. But even when I don't have them mirrored the external monitor is still sluggish. Also, I can hear the internal fan on the macbook on while I play video games. So I'm not sure if the iGPU is bogging down the system or having to power both monitors is doing that as well. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled the script with -a and performed all the restarts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dschijn Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The monitors are connected to the eGPU and not to the MacBook or TB ports? Haven't really used it in OSX, but benchmarks like Ungine Valley did fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The GTX 950 was launched just before OS X 10.11, that’s why OS X 10.11.3 and the latest web driver is recommended. The web driver is bound to OS X version.

viniguez Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 "turned off" internal monitor by not mirroring screens, making external the primary by moving the menu bar over the top of the external screen, and then closing the laptop lid. Now everything is moving fast as hell. Thanks again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
