[SOLVED] Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080/1070

Just discovered those guys make also official stuff and they do have tons of customers

And this basically means they rely on Nvidia drivers too. They sell eGPU with 1080 for Windows only as of now.

I think this user base is a lot smaller than the Hackintosh or classic Mac Pro users. Apple never supported eGPUs, so you need system hacks to enable them on TB1/TB2 Macs. On the freshly released TB3 Macs it doesn't work at all thanks to Apple's "strange" Thunderbolt implementation.

According to Bison site it works out of the box.. Nope?

BizonTechs only expertise is selling other people's hard work for ridiculous prices. Their "Plug'n'Play" eGPU is a $200 Akitio box with an illegitimate copy of this script, and their Mac GPUs use pirated software form this guy.

They didn't ship a single Thunderbolt 3 box yet and I'll happily laugh about their excuses when they don't have any working product "4-5 week" (<- current shipping time). I'm sure they won't ship anything until someone publishes a solution @ netkas.org or TechInferno.

A little OP but I wanted all of you guys to just see this and I have to say that I am pretty much Apple fanboy but this is absurd. I just can't believe that APPLE did this:

And yeah, I am also the one who is looking into this thread twice a day.

1. It's a known issue with USB 3.1, other laptops from other makers have had issues.
2. He's using a cheap off-brand adapter. Technology standards are all well and good, but there's a lot of leeway for shoddy quality.

Since Mavericks eGPU via Thunderbolt work OOB, assuming drivers are present of course.

Video output always needed some hacks.

I think this will be fixed either via firmware update or an OS update.

Probably has to do with the PCIe lanes.

Need some help folks. Rig was working great until I foolishly installed a printer driver via the System Preferences. Now it loads the Clover chooser just fine but when I choose the Sierra drive, the screen goes black after the Apple loads (Flashback to 2 weeks ago before I got my Clover settings correct!). My HD530 connects via the motherboard HDMI to the monitor (my 1080 drives Windows via DP). Any ideas where to look? I am guessing it installed an offending kext? Hopefully my sig gives enough hardware info.

Any help GREATLY appreciated!
