So I just bought an Oculus Rift. I have bootcamp Windows 10 installed. When I tried installing AMD Crimson Relive I got error 1603 and 163
So I read that I can buy an external gpu, which will solve my "update graphics driver" problem. So I read that Akitio Node TB3 is the best solution, but do I also need an egpu; Radeon RX 58? Or is the Akitio Node enough to power the Oculus alone?
How do I connect the Akitio Node TB3, my late 2015 27" IMac and my Oculus Rift together? Where do which hdmi, usb and Thunderbolt connect to? For example: does the Oculus hdmi connect to the Akitio Node or to the IMac?
If I am wrong, what exactly do I need to be able to run my Oculus Eift on Mac OS High Sierra?
Hi, I am also thinking about eGPU to work my rift (I got a Mac Pro), Apple do sell a VR dev kit that is compatible with High Sierra for developer which works for Mac and you just have to buy all the components separately.
-Sonnet eGPU breakaway box -Radeon RX 580 GPU with 8GB of RAM -USB hub to convert a Type-C port to several Type A connections
I'd bet you could get a PC laptop to play the rift on for less than the frankenstein accessories you need to purchase for the mac. They charge too much for anything mac so, I'd explore the actual costs first.
The HDMI cable should plug into the HDMI port that is on the GPU.
I had the Rift running on the 2017 iMac in boot camp no Egpu needed. Worked great on the i7 with the 580.
can i ask what you used to connect the hdmi? i've got an hdmi -> thunderbolt adapter and i'm not getting any video throughput. the tracking and sound all work fine, but no video 😞

Hello, I'm currently trying to setup my oculus rift (bought 6 months ago) on my new iMac 2017 4,2 GHz Intel Core i7 with Radeon Pro 580 8192 Mb, I have 40 Gb memory.
I'm on BOOTCAMP with new AMD drivers installed, and windows 10.
I bought a first HDMI to USB-C adapter (ANKER), everything worked fine except the video signal with a black out every second.
I bought a second HDMI to USB-C Adapter (LMP), video signal is stable, but I have a huge white flickering...and when I move, it's like while moving, the black helmet wire is making even more flickering into the video signal.
Any idea to help me ? Which HDMI adapter do you use ? Did you encounter any video flickering and found solution?
Ok, then, this is just wonderful. The Oculus works perfectly (so far) on my iMac 2017. I had to buy 3 HDMI to USB-C adapters before finding the good one, and the winner is... the APPLE one... just go to an APPLE STORE and buy the adapter there, don’t bother... it works perfectly ! When others are giving back flicking video signal.
