Lupo_dK Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Hi there I'm building an egpu with the thunder2, made barrel mod, and EVGA gtx960 is on the way. In the meantime, i was doing some tests with my (very) old Palit Gtx260. Hardware: 2012 Macbook pro 13" (2.9 ghz, intel hd 4000) PSU: LC 600W GPU: Palit gtx260 Akitio Thunder2 Software: OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan Windows 10 Bootcamp The problem: Well, the automate-egpu script recognized the card and installed the Nvidia web driver, but when I try to boot the computer, there is no way to make it working. Powering Akitio and GPU before macbook with TB cable already plugged causes a grey screen with an endless repeating chime. A force shut down is the only alternative. Powering Akitio and GPU before macbook with TB not plugged allows OSX to boot to login screen, but as soon as the cable is being plugged, everything freezes. Force shut down is needed. (Plugging the cable in anytime before desktop appears, causes screen freeze) Same problems occur while holding alt key. The incoming gtx960 will make this booting issues simpler? EDIT: Forgot to mention all tests were made with an external display Edited April 27, 2016 by Lupo_dK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Not sure if a 200 card will work in OSX at all. That 960 should work for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
