organic_insanity Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) does nvidia optimus compress data on any noticable level? also while looking on geforce sites i found that optimus is only listed as supported on one desktop gpu (the gtx 750) http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/technology/optimus/supported-gpus?field_gpu_type_value=All but on the .com site it is listed on only the gtx 980? http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/optimus/supported-gpus?field_gpu_type_value=All to clarify i am using expresscard on a dell latitude e6420 it has an i7 quad core 2720qm with intel hd3000, i saw that optimus compresses data when on a pci 1.0 lane and works well with intel hd3000, i was planning to use a gtx 750 ti and pe4c and only care about gaming performance using an external hdmi tv as a monitor. thanks! (open to suggestions and budget is 200 bucks and i already have a psu) Edited April 17, 2016 by organic_insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Tech Inferno Fan Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Optimus only kicks in if you use the internal monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 What's referred to as optimus amongst the eGPU crowd is not what Nvidia calls optimus. You'll get the performance improvement with and Nvidia GPU released within the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
