However, the main issue is that I didn’t know which it would be depending when you reboot.

The first is that it sees it as a USB hub and does not detect the graphics card, or it detects the graphics card and reads a Code 10 on the “USB 3.1 Host Extensible”. There were two ways that Windows recognized the device. However, when it didn’t crash it when I ran into another issue. However, this turned out to be very hit or miss, as sometimes it would just instantly crash windows, or it would show signs of life and then not crash.

After more digging around, it turns out that the actual cause of the crash was the Ethernet drivers from Lenovo, when the computer booted, the Broadcom drivers and the Lenovo driver would begin occupying the same IO, and this would cause Windows to crash as it has no way to handle two devices that boot to the same IO ports.Īfter disabling one of the internet drivers specifically the wireless card driver, I was not able to hot plug the device in without it instantly crashing the device. However, it would still crash more often than not. After deactivating the Bluetooth drivers I saw some marginal success in the stability of the device. However, after much digging around, I found out that the reason that the device was crashing was because of the Bluetooth drivers. Despite having re-installed the drivers from the Lenovo website, there was very little luck in getting the device to work without crashing into a BSOD. However, this would cause further issues. So now I knew that the only way that I could get this device to even boot into Windows was to hot plug it after you loaded into the Windows desktop. Here I learned that you CANNOT plug this device in before you boot the computer. Cold Booting the device would cause Windows to freeze and cause a flicker of the Windows logo without ever booting into Windows. So since I didn't immediately know what the issue was, I did some experimenting, seeing what would crash the system and what would not. However, I would soon come to find out this would be a problem that I would experience A LOT. However, I thought this was just a fluke, so I tried it again. However, I WAS VERY WRONG, after installing Bootcamp and the drivers from the Lenovo website, I plugged the device in, and was immediately met with a Blue Screen of Death. Initially, I was under the impression that like most Nvidia eGPU solutions this device was Plug-and-Play. This device lost support from Lenovo all the way back in 2017, 4 YEARS AGO!!!! This wasn't really going to stop me however as Windows does a fairly good job at running old software. However, despite all these benefits, there was one trade off that was made apparent not long after I bought this device. 74 Liters, this was important because space is at a premium in my room, it is actually rather impressive how much hardware Lenovo was able to cram into this small enclosure. I bought this eGPU used, the main reason I bought it is because of its relative size compared to other offerings in the eGPU market.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) with Touch Bar, i5 I don't want anyone else to go through the same frustration that I did, so I am here to try to offer my experience with trying to get the Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 Graphics dock to work with my Mac There wasn't very much information on this eGPU in general, so there was a lot of research and time that I had spend on this forum trying to find answers. I struggled a lot to get this set up to work well enough to be stable and not crash every time it boots. I am kind of new to this forum, however, I am posting this build guide because for the most part there aren't very many people with the same configuration as me.
