Nice to see this but surely this is only of use for Hackintosh builds? Or is Thunderbolt connectivity supported for external GPUs?

The very old Pro, and external GPUs:

>Currently Mac users are limited to Maxwell GPUs from the company’s 9-series cards, but next week we’ll be able to finally experience Pascal, albeit a $1200 Pascal model, on the Mac.

>We have reached out to Nvidia for a statement about compatibility down the line with lesser 10-series cards, and I’m happy to report that Nvidia states that all Pascal-based GPUs will be Mac-enabled via upcoming drivers. This means that you will be able to use a GTX 1080, for instance, on a Mac system via an eGPU setup, or with a Hackintosh build.

Thats awesome, I was thinking about putting a hackintosh build together with a spare 1070 I have laying around.

More likely for the iMac/MacPro fresh. Apple doesn't officially supports external GPUs and iirc it only will work on an Apple device in boot camp since the TB drivers don't work on OSX.

Tell me about it. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a 1080 for a while now.

Maybe a sign of things to come for the new iMac or MBP refresh?
