I did notice that built in display of the laptop remains powered on even after closing the lid.
W10 recognized the GTX- 1070Ti, without problems, that been said I was not able to get the built in audio to work, but wasn't an issue since audio was available via the HDMI output of the EVGA GTX- 1070Ti card. The Sonnet Breakaway Box and the GTX- 1070Ti was meant for a different MacBookPro laptop (2017MBP15, 3.1Ghz, 1TB) but decided to give it a try on the older MacBookPro just for kicks and to get a grasp on the performance differences between TB1/TB2/TB3 when using the same set of 3DMark benchmarks across 3 different MacBook's running the same eGPU. The eGPU setup used was a Sonnet Breakaway Box 500 with an EVGA GTX- 1070Ti card connected via the Apple TB3TB1/2 adapter cable. In Device Manager you should see something like thisīased on your build I was able to configure my 2011 MacbookPro 17" (8,3) that also uses the AMD HD6750M to run with an external SSD drive that has an UEFI W10 install.Download lates NVIDIA Web Drivers and install it, reboot, and then you should see how eGPU graphics card will take over the internal MacBook and external displays.That's your graphics card that is installed in eGPU enclosure Once booted in Device Manager you will see your dGPU and next to it something like "Microsoft Basic/Generic Display Adapter".Now, reboot again (hold option key) in Mac Boot Manager wait until cursor appears, then turn on your eGPU and connect to MacBook, then select your Windows UEFI installation to proceed with boot.Install BOOTCAMP DRIVERS, ".\BootCamp\setup.exe" (at least one reboot required).If all good you will boot back into Windows and under Device Manager you will see "AMD Radeon HD 6750M" (or whatever your dGPU is) and "Unknown Device" under Unknown Devices section (Intel iGPU - good so!) Prevent Windows from automatically searching and installing drivers, see.The "another device" is Intel iGPU, you would HAVE to:.
After successful installation under Device Manager you will see one "AMD Radeon HD 6750M" and another device (something like "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter").Go to ".\BootCamp\Drivers\ATI" and install/run "ATIGraphicsLegacySetup.exe" ONLY (Windows drivers for ATI dGPU), don't reboot!.Rename/delete file ".\BootCamp\Drivers\Intel\IntelHDLegacyGraphics64.exe" (Windows drivers for Intel iGPU).DO NOT RUN BOOTCAMP DRIVERS INSTALLATION (yet).Note: you gotta download BootCamp software under macOS or another instance of Windows 10 and copy it, because your WIFI/LAN under this Windows installation will be turned off (!) Download/copy Boot Camp Support Software ( ), extract ZIP, then in folder with extracted content.First full-functional Windows boot after successful installation.Make sure eGPU box is off and not connected.DO NOT SETUP WIFI or LAN (yet) in order to prevent Windows Drivers Auto-Update for Intel iGPU.Method #2 (Windows 10 To Go): use Rufus ( ) and select "GPT/UEFI" and "Windows To Go" options.
Install Windows 10 as GPT/UEFI either on your internal storage (HDD/SSD) or external storage (USB HDD or USB Flash).If you already have Windows 10 GPT/UEFI installation, good, proceed to step 2.2.6 or 2.2.12.MUST-HAVE #2: DO NOT INSTALL DRIVERS for Intel Graphics (iGPU) UEFI-installed Windows shall detect ALL three graphic cards: iGPU, dGPU, eGPU (this is what you want except iGPU, see next section).Can't tell anything about Windows 7/8 (why bother? if Win10 is the best lol).eGPU Setup Software and Manual PERST# Delay will NOT help.Windows MBR/BIOS will hang with black screen and unsolvable detection issues (if you want to avoid the reinstall see Section 2.1 and 2.1.2 ).MUST-HAVE #1: WINDOWS 10 MUST BE GPT/UEFI WINDOWS 10 ENT 64-bit 1703 (July 2017 MSDN release) in BOOTCAMP
