    Hi everyone,

    Recently I tested a new product that is able to use an external GPU card on a MacBook pro. the results were pretty good and I just want to share it with fellow users here and who it might be useful to.

    Product: Netstor NA211TB (now ThunderBolt 2) ThunderBolt to PCIe

    Tested with a GTX 680 4GB on Davinci Resolve (video editing), getting about 18 FPS, (previously was only 3-4.5 FPS using default MBP video card) when converting 2.5K resolution footages

    There is a how to do here

    Hope it stays working and doesn’t ‘break’ in later versions. Or, in Yosemite.
