I agree with Khengish. I suggest - buy a laptop with a good processor with no dedicated vcard. Look for the highest PCIe speed for faster transfer rate to and from the ext vard.

i am not entirely sure to be honest. but i played a decent frame rate on Tomb Raider 5, under normal settings.

Hello kivist, so sorry for the delay in my response. I have troubles in accessing this forum due to password thing. and the site is not very upfront in password reset. Did you solve your problem already? - - - Updated - - - @robynasi It depends on the motherboard of your laptop. some motherboards can support that. - - - Updated - - - not entirely clear what your question is. all components of your computer, of course works hand in hand. the faster the CPU the less bottle neck your external GPU will have.

hello Kivist. Run PCI Compaction then hot Reset the PCI Port for your eGPU. (mine is Nvidia 560TI). Then you should have the refreshed value for your free MB. Let me know. If it helps. please paste here your PCI.bat config.

Hello folks - I have struggled for days figuring out how to install my Lenovo Y450 with eGPU GTX 560TI. Thanks to Nando for all the help. He's been patient with all of my stupid questions. Also, you need to have a lot of PATIENCE and LUCK (for the driver)! NOTE: THE LAPTOP MONITOR CANNOT BE USED AS YOUR MAIN MONITOR FOR THE GTX560Ti. That is unless you apply the Chung Gun/Ultramon method that drags a *windowed app* from the eGPU LCD (virtual) to the internal LCD. Pictures coming... Hardware configuration Lenovo Y450 T6600 2.2Ghz CPU 8GB RAM NVidia G110M dGPU, no iGPU Windows 8.1 Preview 64bit eGPU: PE4H v3.2 EC2C (express card) Thermaltake ATX 430 Watts NVidia GTX 560Ti Installation steps 1. Install DIY Setup 1.20 or newer. 2. Run windows and disable driver signing and enable testing. Download unified 320.20 driver containing both the G110M and GTX560TI PCIIDS: LaptopVideo2Go: Drivers 3. Clear all the nvidia drivers using Guru3D video sweeper. 4. Reboot. 5. Select Setup 1.x from the Windows boot menu - PCI Compaction->Run (I got 256MB free) - PCI Ports->Hot Reset Port (select the eGPU) - Video cards->Initialize the eGPU - Chainload->Test Run (MBR) I hit F3 after each one so it was automatically added to my startup.bat, though vidinit needed to be manually moved to be after 'call pci' else it BSODs. Means on subsequent runs I only need to select the "automated startup via startup.bat" boot option and not navigate the menus: call speedup lbacache call vidwait 300 call iport reset 2 call pci call vidinit -d %eGPU% call chainload mbr 6. Boot Windows 8.1 Preview in safe mode 7 . Install the unified 320.20 driver. Install from untrusted driver - click it when prompted. 8. Reboot 9. Do step 5 but when chainload to Windows bootloader in (6) run it in normal mode Benchmarks DX9/DX10/DX11 ones from http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D.html#implementations Hope this helps!
