gothic860 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi,You need (or what i used):- PE4L 2.1b (SW1 = 1, SW2 = 2-3)- DIY eGPU Setup 1.2 (PM Tech Inferno Fan for pruchase) - NVidia GPU (Asus GTX 780 (no OC) in my case)- PSU with enough power- ThinkPad W530 (see sig.)1. Connect your PE4L with the GPU and the PSU etc. (dont plug in the Expresscard)2. Download the latest NVidia Desktop drivers (320.18 for me), but dont install yet3. Install the DIY eGPU Setup 1.1b5 + update Quote New patch for setup 110b5. Note that this is only a patch and not the full program, so make sure that you have acquired the unpatched setup110b5 first. Download ->> Setup-110b5-updates-2-27-2013.exe <<- Installation instructions 1. Extract DIYeGPU-Setup-1105.exe to c:\eGPU if you haven't done so already 2. Run c:\eGPU\eGPU-setup-mount, to mount the disk image as V: 3. Extract the contents of the attached Setup-110b5-updates.exe to V: (default). It will ask you to ovewrite v:\devcon\devset.bat and v:\core\intel.txt, say YES. Those will be the new updated versions. 4. Proceed to run c:\eGPu\setup-disk-image to do a disk image install of DIY eGPU Setup 1.10b5 or follow instructions below if need a variation like Linux grub2 or USB install instead. (i had to manually copy the files from V:\V_ to the destination folders)4. Shutdown your Notebook5. Power on and hit Enter + F1 to get into BIOS6. Display settings -> change (if not already) it to "NVidia Optimus" + OS detection "enabled"7. Save and reboot + power on your eGPU but dont plug in the Expresscard8. Wait until you see the bootmenu with "Windows 7" and "DIY eGPU setup 1.1b5"9. Plug in the PE4L in your Expresscard 34-Slot10. Enter the eGPU setup and go to menu-based-setup11. Change the following settings:- dGPU off- compaction 32-bitA on eGPU and iGPU12. Hit Chainload mbr -> Windows 713. In Windows Install the NVidia driver you downloaded14. In V:\config\startup.bat change the last lines to:call speedup lbcachecall iport dGPU offcall vidwait 60 10de:1004 (your Hardware IDs may differ)call vidinit -d 10de:1004 (your Hardware IDs may differ)call call pci call grub4dos mbrand save it.15. Shutdown and detach the PE4L from the Expresscard-Slot16. Start the Notebook and wait until you see the bootmenu -> plugin the PE4L and start eGPU Setup + startup.bat (hit 1) -> Windows 717. Now it should working. Check it in devicemanager (disable NVidia HD audio) + check Optimus in NVidia control panel (PhysX to CPU):18. If you want, you can change the bootmenu time, order etc. with something like EasyBCD.Benchmarks:3dMark 2006: 25860 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,LENOVO 3051RY8 score: 25860 3DMarks3dMark 2011: 9516 (10175 GPU-Score) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,LENOVO 3051RY8 score: P9516 3DMarks3dMark Vant.: 30255 (33406 GPU-Score) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,LENOVO 3051RY8 score: P30255 3DMarksFeel free to ask any questions or correct any mistakes / make things easier etc.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikjoA Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Awesome results, thanks for sharing.But what about real gaming performance ?Unigine heaven benchmark are more interesting because they are affected by the lower bandwidth similarly than common games.Because 3DMarks, especially Vantage & 11 are barely affected of eGPU low bandwidth...

ameatball Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hello, First off, thank you SO MUCH for posting this super-helpful step by step guide.I need a more powerful graphics card on my Thinkpad W520 for 3D modeling with high volume data sets and meshes (current graphics card is choppy with the higher volume data sets). Therefore, I need a powerful eGPU setup.I know that you used the W530, but do you think taht this exact same set up will work with my W520? Details of my W520 are in the signature. Any help would be immensely appreciated.Thanks again.Hi,You need (or what i used):- PE4L 2.1b (SW1 = 1, SW2 = 2-3)- DIY eGPU Setup 1.2 (PM Tech Inferno Fan for pruchase) - NVidia GPU (GTX 780 in my case)- PSU with enough power- ThinkPad W530 (see sig.)1.

gothic860 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 About a year ago i used a W520 with eGPU and i didnt needed the eGPU Setup. I would try to get the PE4L + PSU + Titan or a good GTX780 (there are some good overclocked versions) and test it the normal way. If you get problems you can still buy the eGPU setup if needed.I think dualGPU models like the GTX690 are more bottlenecked by bandwidth then the 1GPU models.

Hey Gothic, I set up my W520 and have a few questions that maybe you have the answers for. On your 520, did you actually see the Optimus settings in Nvidia control center? I see no mention of Optimus even though I have it set correctly in the BIOS. Additionally, I installed a (slightly) older version of the GC drivers from NVidia and, when I try to install newer drivers, it fails. I can't remember the exact error that is given, but it was pretty generic. Additionally, Windows updates for Intel devices now fail Any thoughts? FYI: Using a GTX 650ti Boost OC... I do get better performance overall than I did with the NVS2000m or W/E it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothic860 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 On your 520, did you actually see the Optimus settings in Nvidia control center?Yes, i had the option to switch between the iGPU and eGPU in the nvidiacontrol panel.I just plugged in the eGPU and installed the newest driver from NVidia with no problems.BIOS is set to Optimus enabled and OS detection yes?How did you disabled the dGPU?

I do get better performance overall than I did with the NVS2000m or W/E it is called. If the HD3000 isn't appearing in Device Manager then you won't see the NVidia Optimus features in NVidia control panel. This will happen on the Lenovo notebooks if the BIOS saw the eGPU on boot where it will set it as a primary device and disable the iGPU. The fix is to delay the BIOS seeing the eGPU by either halting Win7 loading with F8, hotplugging the EC2C and letting it continue or setting the PE4L PERST# delay to 6.9s (SW1=3) to bypass bios detection. The short PERST# delay means to work need to powerup the eGPU at the same time as the notebook is powered up/rebooted for it to work. A longer delay can be modded per the steps at: Modding a PE4L 2.1 to have a 0-15s-6.9s delay @gothic860 - can you test the PERST# delay instead of hotplugging after bios boot?

Wes Crockett Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hey guys! Thanks for the reply.I see the HD3000 in device manager, and it is powering my laptop built in screen while the eGPU powers my 2 24" monitors. There is a third (dedicated) GPU that is an nVidia NVS2000m that I just disable in the device manager.GOTHIC: dgpu was disabled in Device Manager (I didn't see any options in BIOS.) As far as Optimus in BIOS, set to OS detect and GC is set to nVidia Optimus.My normal operation of starting the thing up is flip the switch on the PE4L, then hit my laptop power button.This brings up a minor question I have... I put this all in a micro ATX case... I hooked up the jumpers for the cases power button and, when I press it, it comes on and when I release the button, it shuts off... What kind of switch do I need to purchase so i don't have to use the tiny one on the power panel that came with the PE4L?Thanks guys.

Disabling the NVidia dGPU in Device Manager doesn't do that. The dGPU must be disabled in the bios or if there is no option to do that, use Setup 1.x to do it. Pls contact me if you require Setup 1.x. Ensure you are running a MBR partitioning on your system to be able to use Setup 1.x (Device Manager->Disk Drives->[select]->Volumes->populate->Partition style=Master Boot Record).

Look at the Bus Interface. See if it says:PCI-E 2.0x16@x1 2.0If it does not, try running a game/benchmark or something and see if changes. This would make sure you have Optimus working correctly.You have no errors in the Properties window of your 650 Ti? no error 12 or something? If not, you should be fine.

goosmurf Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks very much for the guide gothic860 I followed these instructions with my W520 but couldn't quite get it working. Windows boots and detects the Nvidia GTX 660 correctly -- I can see it in Device Manager alongside my built-in Intel HD 3000 -- but I can't actually get it to display anything. If I use Fn+F7 to Extend Displays, the laptop display blanks briefly as if changing display modes but nothing appears on my external monitor attached to the GTX 660. Screen Resolution doesn't list any of the external monitors either. Anyone seen this before? Further details of exactly what I did... I followed all of the steps exactly, except for the PCI Compaction - as my W520 is a Series 6 Setup 1.x warns me that I should disable the dGPU *after* PCI Compaction. I ran PCI Compaction with ignore=dCPU, selective compact for eGPU (it's the only option under selective; there is no iGPU+eGPU). My resultant start.bat looks like this: call speedup lbcachecall iport dGPU off call vidwait 60 10de:11c0 call vidinit -d 10de:11c0 call call pci call chainload mbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Using a PE4H v2.4, 16GB RAM For the issue of only the eGPU appearing in the selection list, can you advise which version of Setup 1.x are you using, inc the installation binary filename eg: test1? Can you run save diags->compact_fails, archive the resultant \diags folder, upload to mediafire.com and send a link for analysis? Your problem otherwise may be tied to using a PE4H 2.4 rather than a PE4L 2.1b or PE4H 3.2. PE4H 2.4 is only Gen1-compatible (pci-e 1.1). Meaning you should be doing a PCI Ports->Link Speed.G1 and adding it to your startup.bat, which will look like a 'call iport g1 [port]'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi Gothic, thank you for this great post. But I still have some questions:1) though the 3dmark score is helpful, it does not explicitly tell me % performance loss due to the laptop limited bandwidth. It would be great if you can give me a rough number.2) Gtx 780 is a powerful video card, on the other hand i7 3720qm is weak compared to its quad core desktop counterpart. Would it be more suitable/bang for the buck to select a less powerful graphics card? If yes, which one?Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
