Card is faulty and I need to replace it. However it didn't show any sign of error during the benchmark, only after.

I don't have much feedback other than to say it's good to see someone still powering along with a W520. I bought a W520 in early-2014 after abandoning my eGPU project with a ThinkPad T500. I have the Quadro 2000M in my W520 so I haven't really looked to use an eGPU with it thus far, but I eventually want to play some more recent graphically-intense games in my home theater at 1080p. When I do, I'll probably move my GTX 760 from my desktop to my eGPU and get something better for my desktop.

 

I'm guessing you won't be able to post 3DMark11 scores now that your card is faulty, right?

 

Nope since I returned the card and got a 660 instead.

 

As for the setup, it's pretty much plug and play.

 

P70 looks great. When my W520 dies I'll get a used P70, but I'm not sure if it ever gonna die...
