Hi,

I am curious if this is possible? I have seen this done on MBP before and wondering if anyone tried this on nMP?
 
Yes, it is possible. But you have to start the eGPU power after the start chime.

If the eGPU is already on, the Mac Pro probably won't start, there will be not even a chime.

You will have only CUDA support on the nMP, no signal.

There is many eGPU solution with a solution to start the GPU after a few second, my ViDock (i use a TB to ExpressCard adapter) did that.
