I can easily reproduce the board i am using in my egpu setup (as i use a custom pcb with a built in female > female pcie riser as well as some other nifty functions) in a smaller format, the only downside is I have to solder everything manually.

To awnser your first question, currently this is just a side project for me. We all know that this will work natively for Windows, but hopefully featuring it as an OSX addon (the rMBP "Graphics Upgrader!") will take Intel's prying eyes off of this potentially promising product.Īny foreseeable problems like hot unplugging errors will technically not be Microsoft's problem too.

But you've already mentioned another adapter for that.ĮDIT: Might I also add that I like how you are basically packaging this to work for OSX primarily, then just mentioning support for Hackintosh (for Windows support of course). The only time I can justify adding a PSU is when SLI will be utilized. In fact, the uber GTX880 is rumored to require only ~195W (like a GTX680) which works in an adapter like EXP GDCv6 without any external PSU. The other eGPU adapter manufacturers have started doing this since the AC adapter is readily available, and that GPUs beginning the 750Ti have been very power efficient. Second, I was just wondering if the MXM model can simply use an 8-pin Dell DA-2 240W adapter to power up a very compact setup. Is this going to be a side project, or do you plan on opening it up for general public use? Because if you choose the latter, then maybe you can crowd fund to drop down costs? I would love to back a project like that and can help spread the word for you! After the production of both egpus, I will work on getting my MXM SLI egpu made (i have most of the board made in eagle), this will allow users to put either one or two mxm gpus in the form factor of a desktop gpu). Note that the crowdfunding campaign for this may never happen depending on the adoption and funding from the thunderbolt egpu.

After the initial production of the Thunderbolt eGPU I will start another crowdfunding campaign to create boards for the product selected in the poll above (yes I have figued out how to make USB 3.0 and M.w egpus). I will be making thunderbolt eGPU initially and will have the board design and component placement subsidized through crowd funding (not kickstarter), this will lower the overall cost for the board for the end product. Ok, I have redesigned my production model.

SLI and Crossfire model (with full power requirement support) Form factor similar to the MSI GUS II (I solved the power supply issue) with posibilites for a longer model for full length cards (GUS would only support half length) Hot Plugging/Unplugging (NOT DEFINITE! Would be Windows only)

Mostly functional software support on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, OSX Mavericks, and OSX Yosemite (OSX is limited by the gpu drivers written for it, which means that the external enclosure will only work on the select AMD & NVIDIA cards that are compatible, look on hackintosh sites for lists of cards and if you find one that is not included by default in osx send me the kext and I might be able to adapt it to work with TB)\ A prototype that is similar to the form factor of this except with base dimensions of 5"x5" This price is based on an assumption I have made and will probably confirm (or deny) some time within the next two months, this is why I have also stated the tenative backup price of $480 in case my plan does not work as it should. I believe I have found a way to produce thunderbolt 2 eGPUs for around $250 - $260 which means that the full price (including parts and labour would be around $350 + shipping.
