Help installing eGPU - BambusBo - 10-06-2013 Hello everyone, you may not have seen me in a while, as I've been doing other things. Now i come to ask for your help See, i have my laptop in which i would like to install a External gpu using a expressslot. I am not even sure if my pc has an expressslot, so i would appreciate if you could help me. I suspect this thing for being an expresslot [Image: vyd3CUC.jpg]¨ If it is something i can connect an egpu to, will it bottleneck a gtx 770? RE: Help installing eGPU - Nuka - 10-06-2013 Your specs would help.

Is there any rectangular ports on your PC? RE: Help installing eGPU - BambusBo - 10-06-2013 No, that is the only port i dont know what is I've heard something about "Thunderbolt" What is it? And how? RE: Help installing eGPU - Nuka - 10-06-2013 Actually... That slot does look like a Thunderbolt drive. Best off taking your laptop down to wherever sells them and having a look, or buy it, test it, and return it RE: Help installing eGPU - yarrrs - 10-06-2013 This should go in tech center. And I am not familiar with "eGPU's." RE: Help installing eGPU - BambusBo - 10-06-2013 So, thunderbolt port > some adapter? (Link one if you know any that could work) > Gtx 770 RE: Help installing eGPU - Nuka - 10-06-2013 Yes, but they're very expensive, and come in their own very heavy boxes with PSUs. RE: Help installing eGPU - Rahiro - 10-06-2013 Aloha , I made some research for you And basically Nuka said it already: The slot you circled is a thunderbolt slot which would offer the possibility to support eGPU but adapter for thunderbolt are very expensive: On a different forum someone had a problem deciding which of the following two kits he should take. I am just sharing this to let you know about how much money we are talking here: nop Wrote:Expensive Version:More help can be found here! This discussion is all about eGPUs, maybe its worth reading it. I hope you might find a better solution than using eGPUs, -Crowh |
