Can you send a screen shot of your IOReg at your thunderbolt node?

Here it is:

*** Thunderbolt DROM Micro-Guide for Gigabyte GC-Alpine Ridge ***

Video pass threw is the only thing that seems to be not working. I thought it was because I changed the bus numbers or because it was in the middle slot. So I changed it back to 00 and moved it to the bottom slot still no video pass threw. It tries to connect I can see it trying to do something as my screens flash black like I added or removed a monitor but then they just dim until I pull the cable.

    • It contains a blue dot (do not modify the chip with the green dot)
      • (Note: Need someone with GC-Alpine Ridge to confirm this...)

There is only one chip (unlike the GB-Titan Ridge), which has a blue dot, shown in upper right corner of image in spoiler.

The jumper (J3-J5) is done the same as on the Titan Ridge:

Alpine Ridge - EX3 - Port 5 (0285)

Note: In regards to my card, let me know if this information doesn't help. Either way I'm playing along.

Needed to recorrect CRC32 after changed to 0285 for port 5. I just used the suggested correction in the log.
How to recorect CRC32?
 
Answer for @galisrule (my posts <75):

My TB2->TB3 cable adapter is the apple a1790, as posted here initially :)
 
I provided two versions of the firmware, with a xxx-1.bin and xxx-2.bin in the file name. Which one is this result from?

To be honest @Elias64Fr send me a different Version, which he did for his own Asus Laptop,
before you posted the 2 bin files but I can test them aswell tonight :)

Did a quick compare via Hex Fiend and all versions are different.

Nice to see that it work on your Laptop ;)

Have you made some performance test with the new thunderbolt set-up and eGPU ?
Which thunderbolt devices are you using ?
 
I believe you're good to go my friend.

You mean, my configuration it's ok, even if port 5 has no data on the right side?

Update: It was my mistake, man. SSDT stuff. Now my IOreg looks OK. If anybody need some test, I'm here.
