In order to get this aspect working correctly, I had to transfer a copy of the EFI file for Windows off that hard-drive and onto the automate-EGPU EFI thumb drive. This is connected via the OWC Drive Dock, which is running into a Belkin Thunderbolt 2 dock via USB 3.

Loading up Arkham Knight (currently the most GPU taxing game I have on my system right now) shows the RX 580 being used, with full access to its 8GB of VRAM. The Radeon Settings app also changes to show the RX 580 as the Primary/Discreet card, with the two D700s appearing as well as Discreet options.Īnd it works. When the monitor is plugged directly into the RX 580 though, the performance options only show that card.
The graphics performance options in Windows 10 doesn't show the Radeon RX 580 as the high-performance option, possibly because it picks up the second D700 and thinks that's the high end option. In order to get the machine to actually use the eGPU, I have to physically plug my monitor directly into it. Error 43 was gone and all three GPUs are now working. I disabled five of them and rebooted and. Then, out of what I assume is an act of wanton cruelty and stupidity, I decided to dive into Device Manger and start disabling some PCI-to-PCI Bridge devices in there, taking (somewhat little) care not to disable ones the eGPU sat on. I left it for a while as I figured it just wasn't possible to get eGPU working.

Drivers wise, I DDU'd everything off the machine and used the version of the Radeon drivers. I used the pre-compiled DSDT override to get past that and then got stuck on the classic error 43. The last mention of the Mac Pro in this forum that I could find (and please, correct me if I've missed something) were users trying to overcome Error 12 on the eGPU or Error 43. Windows 10, however, is a totally different story.įrom what I could tell, the Mac Pro was unable to properly use an eGPU enclosure due to a firmware quirk that prevented proper access to them. To begin, getting the eGPU working under MacOS Mojave was trivial - standard procedure of running automate-eGPU with no problems whatsoever. automate-eGPU EFI, running on a USB stick.OWC DriveDock (USB C) with SATA HDD running Windows 10.Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.Mac Pro 2013 running Intel Xeon E5-1650 3.50Ghz.
I am not, by any means, an expert with the deep, inner workings of MacOS or Windows, but I'm hoping that others might be able to shed some light on it. Partly because it was a bit of a struggle to find concrete info about the Mac Pro and partly because, as of right now, I'm not entirely sure what I did to get it working, or whether the process I went through is fully documented. I just wanted to offer up my experiences getting the nMP ( Mac Pro 6.1 Mac Pro 2013) running with an eGPU on Bootcamp.
