HELP!! with MacBook Pro w/ Auros 1070 Gaming Box.

Tig-71

I'm in need of some serious help.

I've been using DS for a while now, and I'm kinda over my renders taking too long.  So I got a Auros GeForce 1070GTX Gaming Box.  My Macbook Pro is a 13" Late 2015 Retina with a 2.9 Ghz i5.

I went through a few steps to get the Nvidia Driver to work, and it does.  But Renders are still taking about 2 hours for a 1700 iteration image at 1920x1080..  I was hoping for something like 5000 iterations in an hour or so.  Shoot I'd be happy with 5000 in 2 hours.

I keep my Render Settings at Qaulity 1.00 and Rendering Conv Ratio at 95%.  

Also is DS supposed to see my Gaming Box in the Advance tab in Render Settings?  I see that CPU is checked.. but there's no eGPU box or anything else.

Does anyone have any tips for a speedier Render?  

Could it be that the Auros is not "Nvidia"?  

ANY HELP WHATSOEVER WOULD BE HUGE.

UPDATE:

Ok.  So NOW, it's not even readingt the card.. I'm at 185 iterations after 1 Hour.. SHOOT ME ALREADY!!

Thanks in advance
