What do I need to be able to run my Oculus on my Mac OS High Sierra? Can the Akitio Node 3 do it?

[aforre]

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?

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. 

this one? https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter?fnode=85&fs=f%3Dhdmi%26fh%3D459d%252B3058

there's a belkin one on there too. and i've read somewhere that apple used to sell the moshi one too.

SO happy to read of another imac user having success, i live in hope of finding the right dongle....

Yes this one, the adaptor sold by APPLE under its own brand, with extra usb and power port. After a few days, trying several adapters... with different type of flicking in the HMD as a result, I was really happy to

Please help I have the new iMac 2017 with pro Radeon 580 with i5 3.8 ghz using the apple brand usb-c  to hdmi/usb adapter, running bootcamp, when I install and connect rift everything works while still on the machine but... after shutting down and starting back up the iMac in bootcamp whenever I plug in the rift HMD windows freezes up and restarts the machine, but when it first installed before restarting everything works, all help appreciated

[CrazySinnester]

any help would be great as I don't understand how it install on my machine bootcamp works fine and then after shutting down the bootcamp once after that every time the hmd is plugged in with the apple usb c adapter freezes bootcamp completely to restart making it unusable

Has anyone found a working alternative to Apple's HDMI to USB C converter? I'm currently using a MOKiN converter. It "works" but it's glitchy--red and blue horizontal lines and some color shifting/blurriness. Would love to find a working converter that isn't $70...

Thanks!

I went out and bought Apple’s newest USB C to HDMI adapter. Doesn’t work. I’ll try to find the older model you suggested and let you guys know if it works.
