Hi guys, i'm newbie that have DELL XPS L502x

Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2GHz

6 GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 3000 + Nvidia GT540M

Windows 7 SP1 64bit

Sorry, I'm new about this project so I did research many things about it and actually im thinking about buying this new GTX 980 card for my Dell XPS L502x.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I'm really interested to have this vga for boosting my games in internal LCD and I confused about the 2x6pins, because generally people used vga with 1x6pin so is this vga are compatible for PE4L 2.1b or PE4H 3.2 (PM3M)?

If for example this card could run, what the suitable PSU for this card?

Many Thanks!

In Amazon, GTX 780ti is more expensive than GTX 980 and it already the newest advance gpu for now so I planning to buy this card.

Just research in Amazon and anything would be there.

Will it support for my system ?

That's why i'm asking anyone in this forum, could my DELL XPS L502x run this GTX 980 or not because it's using 2x6pins.

In general, people used the 1x6 pin GPU and I still waiting for the answer yet.

I have used the SEL for this, however, I'm currently running into an issue where my computer crashes occasionally when using the GPU in high loads, such as gaming. Also, it only works with an external monitor I'm afraid.

Sorry, I wanna ask some question.

First, my laptop is same with kellum82 and i planning to buy PE4C-PM100C V2.0 as Tech Inferno Fan said and GTX 980.

So is GTX 980 could run with PE4C-PM100C V2.0 and is it compatible to run in DELL XPS L502x (the GTX 980)?

please help my confusion about this, cause i'm really want to buy those things.

Thanks!

Hi everyone.

Just reviewing the http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/6578-implementations-thunderbolt-expresscard-mpcie-egpus.html#post89707 and seeing there's a need to normalize the shorthand bandwidth designations given to give a cleaner, at-a-glance ranking.

This is what we are looking at so far with my suggest naming to

Previously we referred to x1.2Opt, 1.1Opt, etc. Those are 5Gbps/2.5Gbps links with PCIe compression on. After the 8B/10B encoding encoding overhead those links drop down to 4Gbps/2Gbps.

Anybody want to weigh on any better shorthand designation for the bandwidths we are dealing with?

Yes I definitely would want to go with this naming scheme since it is very confusing to identify setups and speeds across all different implementations, heck NGFF and thunderbolt 3 are also upcoming to add to the confusion later so I guess this will make a naming schema of eGPU to be uniform and easy to understand for enthusiasts and beginners alike.

Sorry, forgot that the 6pin is connected to the III-D PCB...

The question is: How smart are cables/PSU/PCB/ or the connector on the GPU. All the 300W is provided by one 12V rail and one ground connection.

I recall @Tech Inferno Fan posted the following http://forum.techinferno.com/members/mrhappypills.htm

That might provide an answer?

Making this a read-only thread. I'll edit in new additions as they appear.

Thunderbolt3 equipped eGPU candidate notebooks

How does Thunderbolt 3 affect things. Intel said that thunderbolt 3 officially supports PCIE-x4 3.0. Can I buy any laptop/tablet with a thunderbolt 3 port and run a GPU from it (of course with power and docks)? or is it up to manufacturers to allow this.

P.S. I have an updated list about laptops with a Thunderbolt 3 port (rumor or otherwise), feel free to take them or if you want Edit access, tell me your email (by default, you can only view and comment)

I'm having such a hard time finding a 4x-16x powered riser in Australia.

I'm not tech savvy either.

I have ordered the 199$ box from the states.

Found the molex DC (45 day delivery time)

Would there be and problem or penalty for getting a 4x-16x standard riser. Then extending again with a 16x-16x powered riser?

And for a psu. Would a corsair vs350 work good?

I plan on running a evga gtx 760 SC 2gb

Many thanks.

What is a "199$ box from the states"? Are you talking about the Sonnet, AKiTiO, OWC or Firmtek product? Please direct your query in a more appropriate area if it's not a Sonnet III-D as used in this thread's implementation:
