I've seen similar glitches with my 2011 MBP and Mac Mini due to GPU issues. However, when connecting an external monitor to the eGPU, the external monitor's display is glitched. With eGPU plugged in, boots into Recovery Mode just fine. At worst, I'll get a replacement box or just a refund and try another eGPU. Fingers crossed I find a way to make it work. I don't have boot camp installed, but I'll get to that in the coming days. Meanwhile the eGPU is powered with the lights on and fans spinning. I've tried with all 4 USB-C ports, without the external monitor, with another TB3 cable from the Mantiz Titan. I once saw a No GPU Detected notification in the corner. If I plug the eGPU back in any time after this, the system will eventually freeze either at the login screen or at the desktop. If I unplug the eGPU, boot up will resume. When booting up the with eGPU plugged in, the boot up freezes - black screen with the white Apple logo and white progress bar halfway. I disconnected the TB3 cable from my MBP and the system went black with some text saying there was a system error and the system will now restart. Only moving the mouse was responsive keyboard, touch bar, and mouse clicks were not registering. Immediately the MBP woke up, the eGPU LEDs lit up with fans spinning, MBP started charging, then the screen froze. At this time the MBP was in sleep mode and not connected to anything else. I read that this box is pretty much plug and play with macOS, so I hooked the eGPU up to power with the provided cable, to my monitor (AOC 24P1) via Display Port, and then to my MBP with the provided TB3 cable to the top left port. I hope incomplete or failed builds can find a home here too.
#OSX 2017 UPDATE#
I'm completely stuck at the moment, but will update this post accordingly.
#OSX 2017 INSTALL#
Plug the eGPU into the lower left TB3 port (closest to TAB).In Device Manager, disable the Thunderbolt 9D18 controller.Boot into Windows by pressing W on the rEFInd boot screen.Then open nf in a text editor. Find the line that has "spoof_osx_version" in it and delete the "#" in the beginning of that line. In the EFI volume in Finder, open the EFI folder, then the refind folder.Open Terminal and navigate again to where you extracted rEFInd and run mountesp. If it's in your Downloads folder, the command might look something like: Navigate to where you extracted rEFInd and install it.Boot into macOS Recovery Mode by holding ⌘R right after turning on the MBP until the Apple logo appears. Open Terminal, located under Utilities in the menubar.In macOS, download and extract the latest version of rEFInd (0.11.0+).
#OSX 2017 DRIVERS#
In Windows Safe Mode, remove AMD & NVIDIA drivers using DDU.
