    • +Джордж Вашингтон Pascal cards don’t work with Macs now. You could use a
      tiny AMD card, I guess, but you’d be better off sticking with the Node to
      avoid a bunch of workarounds.

  1. What about if you don’t care about games and just want to enhance eGPU
    performance for FCPX/Premier? Would aThunderbolt2 eGPU on a MBP2013 be
    enough?

    • It supposed to work with an adapter but wont be as efficient due to the
      lack of bandwidth. Im hoping for this too since if it does work on a
      Thunderbolt 2 port it would on a regular Thunderbolt port which is on the
      mac I own

  2. Does it support EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB Single fan? Also, why did you go
    for gtx 1050 Ti over gtx 1060 if it is supported ?

  3. The indicator shows it is also charging the MBP, is this real or does the
    pc just get tricked into showing its charging withou gaining battry power?
