They say on their website "Basically, PCIe add-on card designed for desktop. We can’t guarantee it compatibility with your laptop. Depends on OS version, notebook’s BIOS, device driver, " So there might be some truth to that, or maybe not, if what Eisbrecher99 said is true. But regardless of laptop or desktop, it's the same PCI Express standard implemented, isn't it?

I'm sorry. I meant I ordered a external monitor, so I'm just wondering whether 1x.Opt can handle it. I don't use the internal LCD.

Hi, I'm using a 1x.Opt link and I'm wondering whether it can handle 1600x900 resolution because I've ordered a new LCD monitor and its native resolution is 1600x900. Up until now, I've used 1366x768 as the maximum resolution. At 30 fps, it's well under the 250MB/s limit, but at 60 fps it's over the limit. I'm wondering whether the Optimus compression can handle it. I know I could use 16-bit color depth, but there are some things (like madVR) that don't like 16-bit color. ((1600*900*32)*30 fps) /(8*1024*1024) = 164.8 MB/s ((1600*900*32)*60 fps) /(8*1024*1024) = 329.6 MB/s
