As for the setup with the discrete graphics: I connected the display port from Thunderbolt Card -> GTX 970 and Thunderbolt Card -> Thunderbolt Display, no adjustment needed. Sound's working, but so far I did not manage to achieve any of the other Thunderbolt Displays functionality. If anyone is aware of a workaround for this, it'd be much appreciated.
EDIT: Oddly, the Thunderbolt Display seems to -fully- work sometimes. I'd tried to figure out how and when and to see if it's reproducible - it is. If I first start into Windows 10 if an additional display (in my case attached via HDMI) and then proceed to reboot into OS X, every ATD functionality is working as intended and I don't need to keep the additional display on or plugged in. Of course, rebooting or shutting down the system creates to need to redo this procedure, so it is somewhat annoying if regular switching is in use. I'll add any further observation and/or solution as soon as they occur.
Not to bump an old thread, but thank you so much for specifying this simple procedure. I've searched everywhere on how to use discrete graphics with the Thunderboltex II in general, and you're the first to have detailed it.
Thanks!
