I have an EVGA GTX690 video card and I would like to know if it is possible to use it to play games with Windows in Bootcamp mode.

just why.

For $800 you might as well get a custom PC for gaming needs.

Yup, that looks like something we could carry in a backpack.

For some reason Sonnet doesn't seem to have external video cards listed on their site as compatible. Maybe they don't fit?

Did you see this article from a few weeks back where a guy rolled his own external GPU setup for his MacBook Air?

Do a forum search. I seem to remember this was brought up before, and the sonnet will only work when booted up into windows, something about Mac not having the proper drivers or not allowing it.
