My system work fine. I got few strange problems with game Mass Effect Andromeda, when during some cut scenes picture freeze and GPU is disconnect in the system, so i have to reboot. I saw it only in this game. I tested few settings (Ultra, High), but at the end i set Ultra settings and it's fine now.

 

You got such behavior only in one game?

No, it was happening on every game I tried, but it occurred specially quick in GPU intensive games like COD4. I "solved" it underclocking both GPU and memory frequencies to 25% below maximum. Now I can play COD4 with all configs at the top for hours. 

I think it might have something to do with the PCIe x8 speed on the LUB adapter... I just hope that the GPU can work on full speed when I migrate it from the Y510P to a gaming rig!

Hey, looking for an adapter for y510p. I'm located in the EU and willing to pay reasonable amount for it (like not the price of this laptop, that would defeat the purpose).
Alternatively, I have limited access to industrial grade pcb printing machines and knowhow.  So could reproduce this as a one-off/knockoff. If someone could point me to the schematics that could be very helpful! Thank you

My recommendation is to go with the adapter produced by Swung ([email protected]) . It's not cheap, but it's worthed. To do it by yourself, even if someone send you the schematics, you'll spend like 50 hours on it and some more cash to make it happen. There are several caveats...

I got Sapphire Radeon R9 380X card. I bought it just to test with @gerald adapter on PCI Express compatibility. Card is old, was repaired, but still in working condition (i complete Mass Effect: Andromeda with it).

Card itself support both PCI Express 3.0 and DirectX 12 and GPU-Z indeed see it max bandwidth as x16 3.0, but card work only at x8 2.0 (5 GT\s). So, maybe difference between GeForce and Radeon how maximum working bandwidth is shown to user. Radeon show everything, GeForce show only it's working conditions. I also must say, that after i install driver for Radeon i didn't got Error 43 on card. Simple and easy.

 

I got UL 3DMark Advanced Edition benchmark and it's PCI Express test, so i actually tested bandwidth for both: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming and Sapphire Radeon R9 380X. It's same - 3.28 GB\s.

I'm looking for a reasonable sale, say 1/2 or around of the laptop's worth. As the CPU is dated now, it would bottleneck most newer prosumer-gamer oriented cards anyway. It would be a nice project to try out, given a reasonable price.

Try again but this time (Download) Open and Run IdeaFAN first,  and manually start the FAN. After this, try using your normal GPU and Memory settings/clocks.

I have an adapter I don't need anymore. It is in mint condition, barely used. If anyone wants it please DM me. I will sell it at a reasonable cost since it is used after all. 

Cannot DM to you, if possible, DM to me with price and where are you from, thank you. (Or give your e-mail to contact you from there).

I have designed an adapter for the ultrabay slot to plug desktop graphic cards into a Y510p.

The BIOS starts with "Unauthorized Slave vga ...". Need help for a new BIOS without PCIe check on Ultrabay.

do you still make ultrabay adapter for egpu?

Good news for anyone who wants to use adapter for 4k or 1440p gaming, pci-e 3.0 x8 is not a big bottleneck for RTX3080 (cpu will be for 1080p and maybe for 1440p, but probobly for 4k its still fine)

Pci-e benchmark

Thinking about upgrading my Vega 64LC once prices drop or some quiet models come out.

Any thoughts about this ? ^^
