(click to see larger versions, video at end of article) NOTE: after this guide was written another was produced showing how for less than $100 more than this solution you can create a faster native 10Gbps Thunderbolt solution instead. Step-by-step, here's how to exactly do it. TLDR: By buying around $250 in commonly available parts, plus a video card, you can make the graphics of your 11' Macbook Air from 5X to 7X faster. The above links indexes all the DIY eGPU Thunderbolt implementations which have progressed significantly by using an inexpensive native Thunderbolt2 enclosure (AKiTiO Thunder2), and reduced both the hardware and software installation compexity compared to kloper's solution posted in 2013 below.įorum -> Notebooks -> DIY e-GPU Projects -> Sticky: Implementations Hub: TB
