SG3IN Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I did it and the laptop shut down exactly in the moment when i swapped the mpci-e. :/ I updated bios to the newest version. What is the problem that i can't launch my laptop with eGPU?Is PE4L/PE4H better than EXP GDC v6.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plletz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 This is great news for everyone!I have a few general questions:1. TB 2 is limited to 20 Gbps -- What is the Gbps rate required for graphic cards, and how can we find it?2. Graphic cards have pins -- Do these pins tell the speed of the graphic card as well? How can we tell if a graphic card is compatible with the board, in this case the sonic express III D case. PCI-E x16 lane is the only factor right?

oranglama Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi, I'm having problem connecting GTX560 eGPU to Dell E6530, for some reason I can't seem to use the eGPU with internal LCD even though the eGPU can be detected and the driver has been installed successfully.There's no option to disable dGPU in bios, does that mean i have to use the 1.30 setup?I've also tried enabling / disabling optimus:1. Optimus enabled, 3 active drivers are showing in device manager, if I disable dGPU driver then I can't even open NVIDIA control panel as if there's no nvidia card detected.2. Optimus disabled, 2 active drivers, I can't seem to find the right way to set eGPU as primary.Does anyone know what might be the issue?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsterX Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think you needed a 24amp 12V rail PSU. Maybe, try to use a more powerful power supply if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonHunterz007 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 So I have an acer aspire 5741 with an i5-560M and the PE4L v2.1b. My laptop mpcie supports up to v1.1. The pe4l has a x1 connection, which is less nice. GPUz tells me: MSI Radeon R7 240 2GD3 LP, 20% oc How much performance loss do I get with being on an x1 1.1 setup over an x16 1.1 setup?

prosetheus Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Good choice, I hope you got a non coil-whiny one =) (seems like the GTX900 series has a lot of that going on)I don't see why it shouldn't work with limelight and gamestream, I mean your system is a legit system only on a crippled bus (compared to a GEN1/2/3 x16 bus). I'm thinking testing my rapsberry pi as a limelight receiver since the concept is really neat! My friend will be bringing the gpu from the US in the first week of december so there is still some time till I can get it up and running. In case you or anyone else gets the time to pull this off before I do, here are the basic requirements for Limelight (Game streaming to other Android devices or P… | Nvidia Shield | XDA Forums) General requirements for current APK: SoC capable of decoding H.264 High Profile in hardware (Snapdragon, Exynos, Tegra 3 or higher, Rockchip, and more) OR an SoC powerful enough to decode in software (4 x Cortex-A9 at 1.5 GHz or similar) Android 4.1 or higher GeForce Experience with a GTX 600/700/800 GPU (GTX 600M/700M/800M supported with GeForce Experience 2.0) Steam Xbox, PS3 (with SixAxis app), Moga (HID mode), Shield, or Ouya controller (other controllers may work too in HID mode) Mid to high-end wireless router (preferably dual-band 802.11n or better) Good wireless connection to your Android device --------------- Please do bear in mind that limelight also has PC client side version as well, i.e. it can stream games to a low powered windows netbook/laptop/tablet as well. One of the best demonstrations of the capabilities of nvidia Gamestream (on its own proprietary hardware, NOT Limelight) I found so far was: I really hope this works well with egpu solutions or I'm screwed because I chose the 970 or the r9 290x Lightning which is for $321 now on newegg (after rebate). Let me know if you or anyone else gets the chance to try it out before I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranglama Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi all,I've been able to use eGPU successfully without issue, but there are still few thing bothering me:1. Somehow adding pci in startup.bat freezes my laptop, so I just removed pci and added gen2 and dGPU off, works fine, just wondering if I've done the best possible setting with that.2. I notice some input lag while gaming, it's noticeable when playing fps shooter games, does anyone have the same problem? Is there a way to minimize/eliminate the input lag?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tototto Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hello all,I bought it a few days ago a PE4L EC060A-adapter (with output therefore express card).I realized belatedly browsing this forum that the use of an adapter EC03 (2.0 ExpressCard to USB 3.0) guy was not possible.The order was passed, and it would cost me more expensive to return (shipping etc)My question is simple (I do not have ExpressCard reader on my laptop):is there a consistent mpcie / express card reader adapter with the use of a egpu?for exemple :ExpressCard to mini-PCIe adapterNew Item Mini Pcie To Express Card 54mm 34mm Converter Laptop Mpcie To Expresscard Pcmcia Type Ii Slot Adapter - Buy Expresscard Adapter,Expresscard Pcmcia,Expresscard Slot Product on Alibaba.comanother link...thxps : sorry for bad traduction, I don't speak english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(without going into all the scripts and compilers) it looks easier honestlythanksYes, you may be able to circumvent doing the DSDT override by using Setup 1.30 instead. It offering (1) PCI compaction (defragging) to fit your dGPU+eGPU in 32-bit PCI config space, though this will be dependent on whether there is room to do it (2) if you are OK with the internal LCD not being used while the eGPU is, it should be possible to hijaak the dGPU's config space for use by the eGPU and so not need to do compaction/DSDT override and (3) enable the dormant iGPU to engage NVidia's x1 pci-e compression.Setup 1.30 uses an intuitive and user friendly menu driven system. No compilers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbp Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The same is not true for my high-TOLUD Thinkpad T420, is it? I have the model with no dGPU, only an iGPU -- and/but I still need to hot-swap, don't I? (Because I have to wait for the DSDT override before I bring up the eGPU to avoid a BSOD (apologies for all the FLAs ) Hmm, perhaps situations where your PCI compaction+defrag is sufficient don't have this problem, since the compaction+defrag happens before the card is first initialized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbp Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 >Incidentally, the "four tiny holes labeled 3v, 5v, 12v, GND" are test points useful to do circuit board power validity checks with a multimeterDrat. But thank you for being so informative. It might be impossible to answer the following question, but just in case: The Asus GTX 760 ships with a small cable adapter which is sort of a "Y"--connector: well, really a "V" connector I guess, where the bottom point of the "V" is an ATX 8-pin CPU connector, the two sides of the "V" are cables, and each of the two top points of the "V" are an ATX 6-pin CPU connector (I am describing the connectors according to what I just learned from you answer above).. In my set-up, the ATX 8-pin connector plugs into the eGPU, and *one* of the ATX 6-pin connectors is connected to a matching power cable from the PSU. The other ATX 6-pin CPU connector is left unattached and dangling. There just insn't anything ovbvious I could attach it to. There are two ATX 4-pin CPU connector among the various cables that emerge as not needed, coming out of the exercise. I wasn't meant to attach one of the unused ATX 4-pin CPU connectors to rhe unused 6-pin connector on the adapter cable, was I?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neyuru Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have a Dell e6440 with no discrete graphics (iGPU HD4600 only) and bios A02. I've also bought long ago the DIY eGPU setup v 1.2 test 7. I would love a GTX 750Ti to handle the internal LCD. What's the easiest way to do this? (I've dealt with changing the inf file on Nvidia's driver 320.49 to make optimus work with a GT640 but I am afraid so much has changed since then and that this method will be more challenging than before, e.g. I was playing with the drivers for a GTX690 and found that the nv_dispi.inf file no longer contains all the information to install a video card but rather there are 2 other inf files that affect the installation of this card: NVDDi and nvdmi)thanks in advance.
