Little trick : you must modify a jumper on the box to boot. The card is also not recognized as a GeForce GT120 but as a GeForce 9500 GT.

EXTERNAL GRAPHICS CARD FOR IMAC 2011 MAC OS X
Then you have to play the “hackintosh” for it to work : I had to install ATY_init, a tool that actually inject the “BIOS” of the card in the Mac OS X drivers. I tested both models and I use the GeForce GT120 everyday. It is easy to find, it does not consume too much and it is silent. The easiest way on Mac is to use a Mac Pro card, like the Radeon HD 2600 XT or the GeForce GT120. I have a ViDock 3 (power of only 75 W) and so I had to choose a mid-range card. Secondly, you need a compatible graphic card. On the 2006 MacBook Pro Core Duo, it works but it disables the internal graphic card (according to those who tried). On the 2007, 20 MacBook Pro, I don’t have any clue and it does not work a priori. It also prevents reboots (as it must be off) and standby.įrom what I’ve seen on the Internet, it works well on the 2006 MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo and on the 2011 MacBook Pro, the Thunderbolt must be helping. Clearly, I needed to connect the card with the computer turned off. I tested it on a 17 inch 2009 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,2) and it works partially: the GPU can not be removed while on or plugged. First of all, the support depends strongly on the model. In theory, it should work putting a compatible graphic card on Mac OS X. The 17-inch Unibody MacBook Pro (2009, 20) are also equipped. This connector is available on the 15 and 17-inch aluminium 2006, 20 MacBook Pro. ViDock boxes allow you to connect a graphic card externally, on Express Card. Proud owner of a box of this type, I will test it, obviously with an Mac OS X orientation.
An American company has indeed boxes that can contain an ExpressCard card or any PCI-Express card. An external graphic card on a Mac? Some dream of.
