Done ! I've build my eGPU with :
- the AKiTiO box
- Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 4GB OC - Compact
- 250 W DELL DA-2 AC Adaptor found on eBay
-
cable from ebay to plug everything without any soldering
The card fits in the box, but the 6 pins cables linked into the graphic card are too high (don't want to break anything, I'll see how I could manage this.
For now I just want to make it work with Windows 10. And it works ! I've got now a new powerful computer to play games !
But, the difficulty is to power on the card at the right moment : just after the emulated BIOS loads. To early : the mac hangs, to late : the card is not detected. I need to do more tests :
- install Windows in EFI mode
- try to activate F8 menu and power on the card during the menu
- power on the card during refind menu
I'll do that in a few days, I'm away from home at the moment.
By the way, I've seen somewhere recently that this issue doesn't exist with EVGA cards.
[EDIT] What I have done and what are the results :
- install Windows in EFI mode : done, without any improvement
- F8 menu : done, without any improvement
- power on the box in the refind menu : done, the mac hangs.
So, the more "reliable" way to activate the card is to removing refind, choose Windows as the startup disk, power on the mac, count to 1, and power on the nvidia... I really hope for a better and more reliable way.
