Blackmagic eGPU with bootcamp?

Does anyone know if the Blackmagic eGPU will work with bootcamp? Theres some applications that I run in Windows that this would be perfect for. But I don't want to spend the money if its not supported with Windows.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Step 1. Ran DDU and turned off auto driver installation in windows settings

Step 2. Used the USB key method for the efi trick

Step 3. Not applicable for my machine (2016 13in MBP nTB)

Step 4. Fixed error 12 with combination of step 2 and disabling the iSight/FaceTime camera


That at got rid of all errors except for Error 31 (no driver).


I then went to device manager, clicked on the eGPU and clicked Update Driver-Update Driver Through Windows Update. Windows update found and installed the correct AMD driver and the AMD utility/AMD XConnect.


A couple random restarts and hangs at first but then runs smoothly. I keep the Blackmagic plugged in at all times and can boot into High Sierra or Windows 10 1803 at will. I keep the USB key with the EFI trick plugged into the back of the Blackmagic.
