Tech Inferno Fan 20 Posted May 31, 2015 Thanks Tech Inferno Fan sorry i was assuming they where being deleted.Apologies. Probably frustrating other users as well.So I'm getting an OS X section created here. Means threads that can run their course without being bundled into this one.Look for it as:Section Heading: Mac OS X discussionSubtext: Discussion about eGPU use under OS X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timohour 138 Posted June 2, 2015 pg 37 of the linked Vostro 3560 schematic shows the x8 2.0 link pins to the 7670m chip. You'd be removing the 7670M chip and soldering lines to those pins and a PCIe socket. Then you'd run a powered PCIe riser externally to attach your video card.OK, maybe a noob's question but I can't find any PCIe signals on page 37.(?) What am I missing?

Dewos 33 Posted June 2, 2015 Oh, by the way. Summer is coming https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-does-it-allIn particular (said by Intel, not me!):External GraphicsGamers can now connect plug ‘n’ play external graphics to a notebook to enjoy the latest games at recommended or higher settings.

Dilster3k 10 Posted June 3, 2015 Hello again, the GALAX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 OC cannot be ship to europe do you have a website that i can buy it? If not what card is compatible with the akitio? Is this one compatible? https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX970DCMOC4GD5/overview/Mate, Amazon is your best bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

computersaysno 13 Posted June 5, 2015 OK, a bit of a silly post, but I'm curious nonetheless...I saw this youtube video debuting the new Steam controller and noticed that the game footage was buttery smooth: ---- make sure you select 1080p 60fpsIs this how my games should be running with an egpu (provided my settings are configured conservatively)? When FRAPS shows 60fps (and even above), my gameplay does not seem THIS smooth (with or without vertical sync & triple buffering). Is there some kind of post-processing going on in this video?I'm restricted to Thunderbolt 1 speeds, so I know that is having some impact. I had to downclock my card by -250MHZ to improve some stuttering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dschijn 329 Posted June 5, 2015 In my experience videos (even in 60FPS) still can't display the way you "feel" the game that you are playing by yourself.Some rules:- 60fps should match most displays and will make the gameplay smooth (better with high Hz displays and high FPS)- V-Sync will avoid Screen Tearing but your game will be displayed a bit delayed (not good for first person shooter)- to get the best results with V-Sync stay at or above 60FPS! Less FPS can still cause Screen Tearing- G-Sync displays will make even low FPS games look betterImho it is important to monitor temperatures, loads, FPS and clock speeds to identify problems and bottlenecks 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tech Inferno Fan 20 Posted June 6, 2015 you can improve your game smoothness with these tweaks:1. Use an external LCD instead of Optimus accelerated internal LCD. The latter putting load on the PCIe link.2. Disable eGPU sound and instead use your notebook soundcard instead. That then means all the bandwidth will be dedicated to graphics.3. Use EVGA Precision to set a Frame Rate Target of 60Ghz, matching your LCD. Frame Rate Target - Precision X16 v5.2.7 - EVGA Forums4. Lower your resolution to put less demand on your PCIe link and GPU.5. Apply any game specific tweaks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tech Inferno Fan 20 Posted June 6, 2015 The cut in the top is hilarious ^^He'll probably use these http://forum.techinferno.com/enclosures-adapters/9951-low-profile-pcie-connectors-discussion.html#post130496 to avoid doing that unsightly cutout in the next revision.
