Note my Unigine set up on Ultra / Extreme / 1600 x 900 / 8xAA. ![]() My real hope is to get it working perfectly with my 5k iMac □ in MacOS.Īnyway, some stats/observations with my testing so far. However, getting my MBP working with eGPU in Win10 was something of a fun challenge project. Thanks, I couldn't have done it without the help of and and countless other posters from this forum. ![]() It's possible that one or more of them were not necessary (I really hope for anyone else's sake that the DSDT override isn't necessary, as that's a pain. Please note that there was a lot of trial/error in the above steps. When Windows restarted after its BSOD the external screen came to life, yipee!.Hot Plug the eGPU (Within a few minutes the eGPU will be usable without error 12 and the other devices will also come back and start working again) - I didn't need to do this.Remove all of the devices in Device Manager - Resources using the large memory space (All of the ones with a blue icon - not the USB icon one!) - I d idn't need to do this.Disconnect eGPU - No need, I have the apple_set_os.efi fix (see this post).Hot Plug eGPU in top right TB3 port (I can't get it to work in any other port, I'd done all steps up to here using one of the left hand TB3 ports), wait for BSOD and auto-reboot.Run bcdedit.exe -set PCIEXPRESS FORCEDISABLE in an admin command prompt.Confirm Large Memory within Device Manager. ![]() Configure the standard DSDT Override and TESTSIGNING mode ON - Done.Update the Firmware on the NODE if not already done so (must be done before trying to setup in MacOS) - I didn't do this explicitly because I got an error message saying "Thunderbolt (TM) Service Does Not Exist".Install the Intel Thunderbolt drivers - I didn't do this explicitly.Using rEFInd I've chained apple_set_os.efi into the boot process (see this post for details) so that I can boot with the eGPU plugged in, which prevents Windows from hanging on startup.Install the Bootcamp drivers (again using Bootcamp Assistant).Install a fresh copy of Windows 10 Home (using Bootcamp Assistant).Note that if I don't use this fix then I get a blue screen of death (BSOD), so for my setup at least it seems a necessary step. Created a "startup.nsh" script that does the "VGA enable" fix (see this post for details).Installed rEFInd so that I have a nice boot selection menu (see this post for details).Got the eGPU working in MacOS without any problems using the well documented automate_eGPU.sh method.My solution for my late 2016 13" MBP+TouchBar + Akitio Node + GeForce GTX 980 TI, similar to solution but with a few extra steps: I had to pretty much combine all solutions I could find in the various threads together to get it working. The good news is that I've now managed to get my current build (version 1607 build 14393) to work with the eGPU. However I don't have and can't find the old ISO, the Windows site only lets you download the latest version unless you're an MSDN subscriber (which I'm not). What’s your version after Boot Camp installation? I have quite old Windows 10 Pro ISO file, purchased from Microsoft Store. Try downgrading to earlier builds if possible. Posted by: problem is the Windows version - it is the Anniversary Update (1607) which turns on "fast startup" and is not eGPU friendly even if turned off.
