Hey there

I have been thinking about buying into a new setup where I will sell my current iMac and instead use my MacBook Pro with an eGPU and an external display at home. However, I still have my beloved late 2013 rMBP and I just had it serviced since it's just such a great machine! That means I don't want to invest in a new notebook anytime soon. Now my question is:

Can I use one of the new TB3 eGPU enclosure also with an TB3 -> TB2 converter to plug it into my current MacBook? If the downside is losing a free fps here and there in Games under Windows, I can totally live with this.

thanks for any hint
 
It will not work, egpu is supported only for TB3 because engineers believe that TB2 do not have enought bandwitch for gpu
