Is there any Thunderbolt 2 eGPU enclosures or would I have to by a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure and use the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 dongle/adapter? If there are Thunderbolt 2 enclosures (which I would imagine there has to be since people were doing eGPU with TB2) which enclosure would any of you recommend? I know obviously I will not get the power of TB3, however, even over TB2 it would have to be better than Intel Iris 6100 integrated graphics. Also which video card would would you recommend? I know a lot of people love the Nvidia 1080ti, but I do not think Nvidia is supported. I would be happy to buy an AMD card. Maybe a VEGA 54? Thank you so much in advance for your help and suggestions!
