Mac mini 外置 eGPU 显卡成功，Yosemite 系统

家里的Mac mini late 2012，用了这几年，上网看电影什么的性能一直够用，但是老婆最近吵着要回WoW玩玩，HD4000那个效果真的不敢恭维，正好手头有块闲置的GT260，不折腾不舒服，开始尝试在Mac上玩eGPU。

首先需要以下几个东西：
1、Sonnet EchoPro ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter，这玩意的作用就是从雷电引出来一个ExpressCard接口，这东西taobao上有卖，不过黑贵，直接美国亚马逊要便宜些，不到1000块的样子；
2、EXP GDC或者类似产品，这个东西就是把PCI-E槽变成ExpressCard，其实就是台湾某公司产品的山寨，taobao上也很多，300-500块钱的样子;
3、雷电线缆一根，话说买雷电产品都不配线，真不厚道，一般淘宝上买二手用过的也就100左右；
4、显卡一块，最好是N卡，功率不要太大，200W一下最好。

安装就很简单了，该插的都插上，然后关键在于一下几部：

1. 打开终端

1.1 Yosemite下要运行sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"关闭kext保护，老版本貌似不用

2. 运行
sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONDRVSupport.kext/Info.plist

3. 找到以"CFBundleIdentifier"开头的部分

( 三处: AppleHDAController 1 / IONDRVSupport 3 / NVDAStartup 1 )

4. 在该部分的</dict>之前插入以下内容

<key>IOPCITunnelCompatible</key>
<true/>

5. 按 "Ctrl+X" 然后 "Y"

6. 同上更改一下两个文件

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext/Contents/Info.plist sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

7. 清除下缓存
sudo kextcache -system-caches

8. 重启

然后你应该就能看到你的外置显卡了，玩下游戏，会有比较明显的提高，但是由于ExpressCard的带宽问题，所以肯定性能有损失，不过肯定比HD4000强

当然这只是“廉价”方案，如果你选择购买专门的雷电2直接转PCI-E的机箱产品，你甚至可以直接外置显卡搞SLI

至于windows下，就更简单了，UEFI模式安装，然后进系统，自动安装驱动程序就OK了

@ShadyK 是不是每次升级系统，上述的设置都要重新走一遍呀？

ShadyK

@Zhang 是的

可以组最新配置个台式机了。。。

我 taobao 了下
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.74.PKXLNp&id=39407946715&ns=1#detail
这个PCIe to Thunder2 Box 只要1k8，感觉价钱上和LZ 提供的差不多，不晓得靠不靠谱呢？

Zhang

2014-06-12 13:37:49 +08:00

@arzusyume 等我把房子装好了，就买个来试试！

ShadyK

2014-06-12 14:36:49 +08:00

@arzusyume 之前没看到过这个玩意儿，我要是看到了，估计会买你说的这个。。。

ShadyK

2014-06-12 14:45:38 +08:00

@arzusyume
@Zhang
这个的话需要配个电源给显卡供电，看说明这个盒子只提供25W电力，肯定是不够的

路过

@arzusyume 我又去网站仔细看了下，发现这个产品的PCIe只支持到5G的带宽，而sonnet的产品每个PCIe槽是10g的带宽，所以说还是一分价钱一分货啊，不过后者的价格加主机显卡什么的，真的可以去买个低配的垃圾桶了

LZ 有升级CPU的经验吗? 我的 Mac mini Server (2010 mid)感觉比较卡,内存已经升到10G了
想升级下CPU,将其中一个硬盘换成SSD

ShadyK

2014-06-16 20:08:08 +08:00

@banxi1988 貌似没法换吧，去ifixit看看呗

2014-06-16 20:46:46 +08:00

我擦@ShaddyK 咱俩想法一样啊我现在正在搞目前弄了套国产山寨 ExpressCard 版本 300 左右明天差不多能邮到，不过情况不同的是我是用一台联想商用版的一体机 i5 670 CPU的老机器装黑苹果一代 HD 集成显卡无解所以只能采取这个方案外接显卡接回一体机的显示输入使用。显卡我直接淘宝买了个2手的HD5770 ，正好不知道前面多少坑呢遇到先人了，我开始弄的时候希望多交流哈。

请问那个文件是如何修改的，我现在打开IONDRVSupport.kext内容包里面的Info.plist是文本文件里面找到了很多CFBundleIdentifier开头和</dict>结尾的字符如何添加能不能加下好友帮我弄下谢谢了。弄了好几天也没弄明白

ShadyK

2014-08-06 17:36:58 +08:00

@liranda IO那个文件里有三处，都要加

你好，我的rmbp自带750m显卡，我查了我这情况不能内屏使用，只能外屏幕扩展，现在的问题是我的gtx780可以识别出来，但是外屏幕是随机点亮，大多数情况下没反应，请你帮我看下是不是我plist没改对

AppleHDAController.kext 文件里面的<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>与<dict>距离特别远，我不知道我改的对不对
