Hello,

I am currently looking for the most cost-effective eGPU that would be able to fit my GTX 1080 FE. I'm looking to pair this up with my 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch. 

Is it possible to route my Nvidia GPU back through my internal display?

Thank you,

D3monw3st

Nvidia cards don't have drivers in macos

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Are there any workarounds? Also, I'm thinking of dual booting to run on Bootcamp w/ Windows.

Updated the thread. Can I route my eGPU back into my internal display on Windows w/ Nvidia 1080?
