ergot Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hello, My MB support USB 3.1 (need to verify if it actually working), now that 10.13.4 is supporting eGPU I can connect that to the USB 3.1 port with adapter. Do you think it would work? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/333584-usb-31-to-thunderbolt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITzTravelInTime Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) it will not work because it's not a thunderbolt port, the special thing about the thunderbolt is that it does provides 4 pcie lanes to use with devices like pcie graphics cards, but since a usb 3.1 offers only the usb signal and not the saignal of the 4 pcie lanes, it can't be used for a graphics card, but since your machine is a desktop you can ejoy graphics cards internally without slow downs and limitations of thunderbolt Edited March 31, 2018 by ITzTravelInTime Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/333584-usb-31-to-thunderbolt/#findComment-2606783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
