- 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!

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!

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

- 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!!!

Thank you Adrian!
The 34" 21:9 display with a Mac Pro looks really cool!

BizonBOX with NVIDIA GTX TITAN X GPU

- I have installed a BizonBOX with a NVIDIA GTX TITAN X as an eGPU on my iMac 15,1 running Windows 10 via Bootcamp in order to be able to run the Microvolution plugin (http://www.microvolution.com/) within Fiji (https://fiji.sc/). This was necessary since Microvolution requires a CUDA capable GPU, but the internal GPU, a AMD Radeon R9 M295X, is not.
The installation is very easy and the support was quick and very knowledgeable; I had a very good experience. Thank you.
Currently, I have the BizonBOX with the eGPU connected to the first port on my iMac, and the second port is connected to 2 Pegasus2 R8 units that are daisy-chained. For unknown reasons, Windows 10 does not boot when the 2 Pegasus R8 are daisy-chained and connected to the second port when at the same time the eGPU is connected to the first port. Windows 10 does boot, however, if the Pegasus 2 are not daisy-chained, i.e. only one of them is connected, and the eGPU is connected. Occassionaly, it can be required to unplug all connected devices from the iMac to boot into Windows 10 via Bootcamp. I thought to include this short note, since it may potentially help other users.
In OS X 10.11.6 everything is working fine.

Jacob, thank you for a detailed review of a very interesting BizonBOX use case!

- We use the Mac Pro late 2013 "trashcan". We got the BizonBOX together with the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X (for mac architecture).
We ordered from Germany - so we were afraid to get a thing which would not work.
The Bizon staff had offered us to send the item back if we are not satisfied.
We started with some problems to install the card and run the system on the Mac Pro. After a great support service we activated it with great results.
Mostly we use After Effects and 3D Elements. We are now almost 4 times faster in rendering complex things. 10 Sec Renderings with the AMD on-board card have left us waiting for 154 minutes. Тow we only got 45 minutes for the same process.
We also have a real-time preview. It's a great solution.

Thank you René!
I'm glad to hear that everything is working as it should and you have got great performance for your videos.

- Super fast delivery. The EFI-modded GPU (GEFORCE GTX TITAN X) really gave the old 2010 Mac Pro some extra life.

- MacBook Pro Early-2011 with the BizonBOX 2: NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti, 6 GB, DVI, HDMI, 3 DP (2816 CUDA Cores)
I am now able to play StarCraft2 at the highest settings with absolutely no lag. The graphics are gorgeous! I was previously only able to play at a maximum of medium with regular stuttering.

Thanks Justin!
I hope you will enjoy many great games with the BizonBOX!

- Used on a recent Mac Pro and Macbook Pro model with Cinema4D Octane Renderer. Setup was pretty easy, and the product works great. The only downside is that both machines struggle to turn on or reboot. Most of the times we have to turn on and off the machines a couple of times before they boot. Otherwise no problems.

Thank you Chris!
