ti_padawan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 @pokerman837 There are no OS X drivers for NVidia 1000 series cards yet and I reckon they will still take quite some time... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i saw your signature at the end with it XD) I'm just a graphic designer. I asked around and the people who make eGPU told me it's ok and then I bought my graphic card and other tools to make my eGPU. It wasn't so easy to make one, but with help I did. I have to mention that it's a little bit annoying when you need to change your resolution of your screen and a little bit for speed. but the speed of my eGPU 10 times faster than my AMD card.

I'm guessing that i need some sort of kernel extension to use it? edit: when i run the script this appears, if it's interesting: Detected eGPU GP106 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] Current OS X 10.12.2 16C67 Previous OS X 10.11.6 15G31 Latest installed Nvidia web driver Version: 367.15.10.25f01 Source: 3rd Party Install Date: 1/13/17, 7:31 PM Checking IOPCITunnelCompatible keys... IOPCITunnelCompatible mods are valid. Mac board-id found. Searching for matching driver... Your system is eGPU enabled and Nvidia web driver is up to date.

I think I found the problem, let me fix that. The "AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2048 MB" belongs to my iMac. I didn't make an eGPU with two graphic cards and my GTX 980 Ti works with only with my second monitor. Also, like other guys here, I'm waiting for new CUDA driver.

But like I said, such web driver has not been "released" (developed?) yet and it will probably take a long time still, if there's ever going to be one... Chance for you to solve this problem on your own is like 1 in a million - basically none :). What you can do is install another system on your Mac - a display driver has been released for both Windows and Linux. On the contrary, CUDA driver for macOS and pascal cards is released and working. But I don't know if CUDA is going to work without the web driver... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that IS possible and like I said: On 19. 1. 2017 at 10:28 AM, ti_padawan said: What you can do is install another system on your Mac - a display driver has been released for both Windows and Linux. However, I have never seen a way to leverage a Pascal card on macOS yet (in terms of graphics acceleration of course). The followup comment to your question at Youtube sums it up in a way too: Quote The 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080 and titan currently only works in windows just give it time, If you can't wait goto Macvidcards they have plenty of aftermarket GPU's for the Mac Pro that will work in OS X and windows.

Rapunzel Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Hi, I am noob regarding all this EGPU stuff and I encountered a problem running macOS 10.12.4 Beta (16E163f), where I tried to get my Akitio Thunder3 (with beefed up DC supply) and MSI V809-2210R RX 460 4 GB running. The Thunder3 is working and reported in the system report. When running the script, I get the following output: *** automate-eGPU.sh v1.0.0 *** * (c) 2016, 2017 by Goalque & FricoRico * ***************************************** Detected eGPU Baffin [Radeon RX 460] Current OS X 10.12.4 16E163f Previous OS X 10.12.2 16C67 Latest installed Nvidia web driver [not found] Checking IOPCITunnelCompatible keys...

In the Extensions folder no AMD9500Controller.kext can be found. But there is a AMD9510Controller.kext, which does include the 0x67ed1002 id. Can you help me?

natemac00 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Pascel comes to Mac!!!!!! http://www.cultofmac.com/475337/nvidias-new-titan-xp-graphics-card-mac-compatible/ Hopefully these drivers will work with all 10xx cards not just the specific one for Mac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixxelpusher Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Beta drivers are out for 10-series cards!! Anyone know if this will work with older OS like Yosemite? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhlhorn Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) How can I remove the eGPU installation? Update: I found it: I have to run the script with the option: -deinstall Update 2: Uninstall is not working. I get the message "Backup folder not found for OS X build [16F73]. Your system must be reconfigured. Click OK to execute automate-eGPU." Edited June 24, 2017 by Uhlhorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
