Interesting. What is the external GPU (eGPU) enclosure you used for the Nvidia GTX 980 Ti card? Is it this one? https://bizon-tech.com/us/bizonbox2s-egpu.html/
Yes, that’s what you see in the picture, although as completely personal advice, I would stop short of recommending it. For one there are arguably better cases out there now, and you can sometimes build your own eGPU rig for less. Finally, the Mac software integration (with any eGPU) is very hacky at the moment despite the community’s best efforts, and I had to deal with a lot of kernel panics and graphics crashes, so overall I’m not sure I would recommend others attempt the same setup.
It's worth noting that High Sierra removes some of the hackiness of an eGPU.
I am waiting until the next-gen enclosures/cards come out which play nicer with the OS for deep learning.
