Nice to see this but surely this is only of use for Hackintosh builds? Or is Thunderbolt connectivity supported for external GPUs?

- rz2k 10y agoThe very old Pro, and external GPUs: >Currently Mac users are limited to Maxwell GPUs from the company’s 9-series cards, but next week we’ll be able to finally experience Pascal, albeit a $1200 Pascal model, on the Mac. >We have reached out to Nvidia for a statement about compatibility down the line with lesser 10-series cards, and I’m happy to report that Nvidia states that all Pascal-based GPUs will be Mac-enabled via upcoming drivers. This means that you will be able to use a GTX 1080, for instance, on a Mac system via an eGPU setup, or with a Hackintosh build. https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/06/nvidia-titan-xp-beta-pascal-drivers-mac/ https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/06/nvidia-titan-xp-beta-pascal-d...
- dawnerd 10y agoThats awesome, I was thinking about putting a hackintosh build together with a spare 1070 I have laying around.
- dogma1138 10y agoMore likely for the iMac/MacPro fresh. Apple doesn't officially supports external GPUs and iirc it only will work on an Apple device in boot camp since the TB drivers don't work on OSX.
