Bizon Box 2 with 12Gb Graphics card
- Comment:
- Great improvement by drving my 43" centre monitor with the box and leaving the 6Gb cards in the MacPro "ashtray) to look after the 2 27" monitors either side.
I work in Photoshop all day and the screen responcse is now perfect. No lag in using of the tools that I had before.
Great solution for MacPros that has no expandabilty.

- Comment:
- I am using the BizonBox 25 with two Macs:
1) 15-inch Macbook Pro early 2013. This one has a discrete GPU in addition to the integrated GPU. Using MacOS Sierra, the BizonBox works flawlessly. However, using Windows via Bootcamp, the discrete GPU causes a conflict that I couldn't resolve. As a result, the Bizonbox is unusable under Windows with this Mac.
2) 13-inch Macbook Pro late 2013. This Mac only has an integrated GPU and the Bizonbox works flawlessly with both MacOS Sierra and Windows 10 via Bootcamp.
The primary use of the Bizonbox is for gaming. Games that wouldn't run before or ran so slow as to be unusable now run very quickly.

Thank you Jeff!
You can contact our technical support at support@bizon-tech.com about a compatibility issue with the MacBook Pro 15" Early 2013.
This issue is present on some Nvidia driver versions and installing the correct driver version should solve it.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" Retina and this unit puts my laptop in a desktop class with 3 x 30" monitors..

- I purchased the Bison Box to run with my Titan X Maxwell. I am using it with my 2013 4 core trashcan.
I installed my own card and the process was painless. The software activation was a breeze. I was up and running in less than 10 minutes.
I have been using it for video editing purposes. I have been using it to help with the render of footage shot on Red cameras.
With apps such as Redline X I am able to use just my single card with CUDA or combine the cards using open CL. It is a noticeable difference in render speed as well as playback.
While not in realtime for 8k footage the playback in full res is pretty quick compared to using the stock GPU in my trashcan. I'm still testing but so far I am a happy customer.
I'm looking forward to upgrading to the Bizon Box 2S when it becomes available.
Bizon PC
Thank you Ignácio!
The BizonBOX 2S upgrade program will be launched soon.

Mac Pro (late 2013)
OS EX El Capitan
Pros
Easy setup.
Works out-of-the-box
Great way to get a solid GPU on a Mac. Apps that utilize the GPU work fantastic (After Effects, Cinema 4D, etc...)
Cons
Computer can't go to sleep. If so, it will crash.
Encasing doesn't fully enclose the 980TI leaving partial card exposed.
Bizon PC
Jon, thank you for your review!
The issue with the sleep mode is a known one, we hope it will be fixed in the future macOS versions.
We now have the new BizonBOX 2S and BizonBOX 3 that can accommodate almost any graphics card.

Titan External Graphics Card
- Comment:
- Excellent rep support in the initial purchase.
Only issue was that the Bison Box did not look like what was in the picture. The Titan graphics board was too long and sticks out on both ends so not attractive. More importantly still having some issues getting it to work on my system.
Very responsive folks and have been helpful!
Bizon PC
Thank you Robert!
You can see the pictures of the BizonBOX with long graphics card on our website.
Our technical support team already contacted you about the issues, I hope that we would be able to troubleshoot them quickly.

- I have the 2013 Macbook Pro and MacPro. I use Cinema 4D, Octane Render and After Effects. I bought 2 Titan X's (Maxwell) and 2 980Ti's with Bizonbox's.
It's important to note that I could not get three (3) BizonBoxes running on the 2013 Mac Pro running 10.11!
I think this is because I had different cards. If I had 3 Titan's I assume it would work when properly spread across the buses. I have had to split the boxes over multiple computers to be able to use all 4 when rendering--which is fine. So if you are buying multiple--buy all of the same card. In my experience that plays nicely with Mac.
I will echo the sentiments of other reviewers. The Bizon team does reply rather quickly. They are helpful and accommodated me various times.
Performance:
I bought 4 of them. That should speak for itself. Octane Render is a GPU 3D renderer, the more GPU's the faster the render. Every GPU added almost halves the time of the render. GPU processing for AE is wonderful too. A lot of plugins support GPU rendering and Adobe is quickly moving to support more GPU rendering. The CUDA platform with Adobe Software runs beautifully. If you make art on a mac and you aren't using Nvidia cards you will immediately notice the difference switching from OpenCL to CUDA (Nvidia). It's genuinely significant in applications like After Effects, Media Encoder, and Premiere. Programs like Photoshop and Illustrator take advantage of GPU processing too, but it's not as immediately noticeable.
Installation:
Simple. Almost plug and play.
Bizonbox can genuinely make your old(er) computer fly. It's kind of like magic. One of the only computer upgrades, besides an SSD, that is instantly noticeable and worth my time reviewing.
I truly hope Bizon / Nvidia support the Pascal cards on Mac so I can make more purchases. Also, for those new MacBook Pro's!
Thanks Bizon!
Bizon PC
Thank you Den!
We expect that Nvidia Pascal drivers will be ready soon.
A new BizonBOX will be available in the next few weeks.

nVidia GTX 980ti evga overclocked and cooled for 2009 Mac Pro
- Comment:
- The card works great and flawlessly. It is installed on an older 2009 Mac Pro with a new 34" 21:9 display running at 3440x1440px @ 60mhz.
No issues whatsoever with the included cables and hookup! The card could technically handle 4 displays.
So it's Cinebench test came in 4th overall. Thank you Dmitry for the product guidance!!!
Bizon PC
Thank you Adrian!
The 34" 21:9 display with a Mac Pro looks really cool!
