Regis studio pointed out that he had his Cubix working under El Cap.
He has a Titan X internal and 4 titan's in the cubix

So i wanted to know for myself,

It seems apple has allowed external gpu's again,
But with a catch it seems... This is from my testing so i curious to see or hear from others,

All cards externally MUST be the same... I could not boot with mixed cards on my Amfeltec.
No more than 2 different cards in total... See testing below.

Although they allow external cards. it seems every card has to be the same on the Cubix/Amfeltec
and a MAX on 2 different cards.
This is from my personal testing....

NO BOOT
Slot 1 - 980ti
Slot 2 - K4200
Slot 3 - Amfeltec 2x 980's + 1 980ti

Im off to buy me some 980ti's for more testing....

think apple is gearing up for an upgrade of new MacPro =) new type of Thunderbolt is coming that will make eGPU to work much mo fluent..so they code, preparing the soil to leverage this feature =) anyway - good news for Octaners! Thanks for sharing.

Apple will launch an external keyboard with discrete gpu....

I wouldn't be surprised, Gab, 'cos it sounds not so dumb.. =DDD & could be paired with iMACs =)

any progress on this topic? =)

Just asking perhaps the obvious here...

I am assuming you still had to go rootless and modify ktext files etc in order to do this... It was not plug-in-play correct???

Thanks

Looks like you can't run more than 2 Maxwell cards in El Capitan, but you can run up to 5 GPU's. See updated thread here:

How long does it usually take you guys to get Apple's permission to use the bathroom?

Weird... my last post disappeared.. but my name shows as last post to this thread. I knew Apple was taking over the world.... but not this quickly...

Frank.. if I was not so busy crying I'd laugh... I have used apple and PC for various times over my career and I like both for different reasons.... but the he way Apple has slowly made it harder and harder for a professional to do work is a crime...and yet here I am still trying!!!

Sorry I gotta go and ask Apple if it is OK if I poop
