Madmonkee Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 First off, hello all. I have managed to hook up all the hardware and basically only needed to delay the start of the PE4L adapter by selecting position 2 and all is well. I can boot into windows, the card is recognised, drivers install and is recognised by NVidia drivers, device manager is all ok, GPU-Z recognises also. So far so good.... eGPU does not initialise once launching into games. I have tried setting in Nvidia control panel to force cuda, PhysX and nothing. Even in Heaven benchmark, the adapter details pop up on the RHS and still 0 usage on the eGPU. I have done a large memory reallocation and is seen in device manager using setup 1.30 (many thanks Nando from your hospital bed), both adapters appear on the RHS, I reset the link speed to G2, compaction 36-bit, chainload to bootmanger - select win7, boots in, dos prompt saying Egpu mounted... all installed, no errors... no eGPU. dGPU=PCI1, eGPU=PCI2 My only thought currently is: IGPU is disabled in BIOS (sony BIOS are locked so cannot change) dGPU enabled and works and is running primary display, eGPU installed, wont work on internal display (not tried External display as yet). Is the issue due to the dGPU is handling the video pass-through? Or am I way off As per normal, its been a fun learning process Cheers Deano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonkee Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Right, plugged in an external display - eGPU works. Benchmarked @ max res for the monitor. See the results, laptop 540GT vs 960GTX. Plays all games lovely, now how can I route through the dGPU to use internal display? Cheers Deano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonkee Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Simple answer, you cannot. No matter I have adapted and overcome Pictures to follow Interestingly, monitoring gpu and cpu through GPU-Z and task manager, playing games i get 99% gpu load, bus link optimisation maxes around 66% and cpu is only around 25%. So bigger gfx card required me thinks as there is still head room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
