Hi, I'm building a new eGPU setup with the Mantiz Saturn Pro and one GTX 1080 ti, for my MacPro (Late 2013) running 10.13.6.
I have tryed almost all scripts possible but the macOS-eGPU.sh --beta seems to be the right way for my setup since the normal version sends me an error.
Your system hasn't yet been approved. The system may be unbootable or unstable.
Interrupt...
cleaning system [done]
The script has failed.
Nothing has been changed.
Altough, I tried everything I could but my system still can't see my eGPU.
The system report doesn't show anything connected in the Thunderbolt busses nor any other GPU in the Graphics section.
Please could someone support me with the issue or point me to the right direction?

The Mantiz Saturn Pro should have a TI83 chipset, therefore it should be fine.
If you disconnect everything and just connect the enclosure: Does it show up in the system's information page under thunderbolt. If not, you may have a faulty cable/enclosure/chip. Try to change the port or the cable if possible. There you should at least see the connection regardless of whether the GPU gets recognised or not.

@fr34k Thanks for your follow up. Will try after restoring on my backup since everything crashed after installing Enable eGPU, it wouldn't boot anyhow.
Would you advise to roll back to OSX 10.13.4 or 5 after restoring?
Thanks
that should not be necessary. 10.13.6 is perfectly fine (and also gets security updates)

@fr34k, Thanks I finally managed to make it work after updating to the latest High Sierra security update and by changing the TB port for bus 1 (top left port)
Can't describe how satisfying it is Altough I still don't see the Nvidia card in the system information Overview..
@fr34k Is this script specific to High Sierra? I have a 3070 Ti that I would like to use with Catalina (10.15.6) on a 2016 MBP. I saw this script on a youtube video and am hoping it would work. I just can't find anything that says it will.
To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
.I must disappoint you. Neither is there a driver for the 2xxx and 3xxx series for macOS at all, nor are there NVIDIA drivers for any macOS after HS. I’m so sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you. If you have any other questions, I’d be happy to help.

@fr34k Thanks for following up with me. I think at this point I'll be better off selling the card and investing in the M1. You mentioned how busy you are so I really appreciate your time.

.Before selling, I’d try to use a bootcamped windows and get the card up and running there. That is of course if you can use windows for your needs. It’s a bit of finagling but doable. The EFI-method was the best but I don’t know the situation on that front atm.
Yeah, it got rough time wise after I made that script and didn’t get easier since. It has been a constant switch between lectures and exams with little free time.
I own a MBA with the original M1 and can tell you: it’s not a replacement for my 1080 Ti yet. Maybe the Pro and Maxes are sufficient in that regard but I haven’t tested them yet. I wish you good luck in finding the cheapest but best solution for you.
If I can help you with Windows setup or something else, let me know, it’s been a while but I think I still know a thing or two.

fr34k,
First of all thank you for making such a simple process to get eGPU working for older Macs.
I have a 2013 MacPro running 10.13.6 and has been trying to get my eGPU working. I am currently using a TB2 to TB3 adaptor and Razer CoreX and a Titan X(Pascal). My issue is when I hot plug the eGPU, my external monitor showed only a blank screen with working cursor. I have tried all the steps you have recommended and still cannot resolve the issue. There are 2 strange behaviors I noticed: 1. The eGPU icon never appears on my task bar up top. 2. If I try opening my "Nvidia Driver Manger under System Preference it crashes. I can see Titian X(p) under "System Information and Graphics/Displays". I have tried using alternative method including kryptonite, automate-eGPU and purge-wrangler all resulted in very similar issues namely blank screen with active cursor. I have included my --checkSystem log below. I have tried everything I could think of at this point including updating all the security updates and reinstalling High Sierra doesn't seems to make much of a difference. Your expert insight is greatly appreciated.
