Hi!



Theoretical, yes. Tough there are a lot of issues if you own a macbook pro with two graphics cards for reasons i do not understand - you need to hack in efi code to make it work afaik. For normal MBpro's with intel gfx cards it should work.

My story was that i switched from an imac that was 6 ys old and only had tb1 - so i would have to switch systems anyways and I wanted something really portable with some awesome gfx card (playing on an imac was ok but compared to my current razer setup somewhat lacking as you can expect). I was aware of Apple's efforts with external enclosures at that time tough everything was still in beta. Generally, for me the external enclosure market was not yet mature enough (given everything i heard about the CoreV1 and the manuals i have seen to connect some Sonnet Gfx-enclosures to a Mac) that I wanted to go with one supplier for the complete system to avoid having compatibility issues even tough that meant i had to switch away from mac os which really is a downer. On the hardware side, the Razer Tech delivered everything i had hoped for and more, this setup (corev2, RBS i7-8550 and a 1080 gtx with a nice big screen) for me is working exactly how i had hoped it would be in the ideal case - so i am very happy with that. On the OS side, i am fairly ok with runnig debian in a WSL container for all the command line tools i am used to and the rest native on windows.
Still - even tough I do not need the Core X at the moment i am fairly excited about it because it means there would be a "supported" way back to mac os for me.
I have to say tough - the RBS in terms of production quality and product design outmatches apple products in my point of view (tough i think both are great)!

Can I use the Core X, with Nvidia cards on WIndows/Bootcamp?

I understand it only works with AMD on macOS for the moment, but does Nvidia cards work on Windows?

btw, I have the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports, https://support.apple.com/kb/SP747?locale=en_US) without touchbar.

Greetings!
Did you also already check egpu.io there’s a lot Apple users talking about egpu there, if you don’t check it yet it’s worth to check, a lot of Forum threads recently talking about ...Mac OS...egpu...

I am really interested in buying a Razer Core, but I don't know whether the Core V2 or the Core X.
I plan to use GPUs like Titan V in size (gaming is secondary, I know about the TB3 bottlenecks but this does not apply here), from what I read GPUs of this class of size can fit both the V2 and core X. Can anyone confirm this?
I don't plan to use massive size GPUs, just standard sizes such as founders edition for reference.

I really want to buy the Razer V2 for its smaller size, but does it make sense now with the new Razer core X ? Do I lose any relevant feature by choosing the V2 and not the X?

Any advice is welcome!
