xzknightzx Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Hello, we have similar setups as I am using a Dell Inspiron 5749 with a EXP GDC Beast v8.0 through mPCIE. I had success with a GT 610 running through the eGPU adapter with it using the laptops internal monitor but seeming your thinking about getting a GTX 960 or 980 you should be fine as long as you don't try using a 10-series card. The reason I say not to use any 10-series cards is because there's a huge driver problem when using these cards, If you wish to know more about this problem look into my topic mPCIE Error 43 with 10-series cards I payed about $30 for the EXP GDC Beast v8.0 and waited about a month for China. I never done this with a dedicated GPU which is your NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M but, ive read that you might need to disable it but i'd suggest looking around the forum a bit. I looked into your computer here's some resources and info about your Laptop you may need to know. Spoiler Link to Manual for your Dell: http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-14r-5437_owner's manual_en-us.pdf Picture of your Dell motherboard. (Inspiron 14R 5437) You probably already know you will need lose your wifi card so you will need to use a usb wifi adapter instead, if your using wifi.
