NVidia Fermi/Keplar cards (up to GTX6xxx/GT6xxx) are supported with NVidia driver 306.97 as discussed at http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/6253-t500-compat-q-4500mhd-optimus-ends-306-97whql-2.html#post89243 . GTX750Ti isn't supported though could be added via INF file entry. Still you'd be stuck at that driver level. That problem could be eliminated if you have a notebook with Intel HD or newer. Best would be a Sandy Bridge or newer notebook that's x1 2.0 (Gen2) capable.

Yea thanks, but the thing is that i have GMA4500M which is different of GMA4500MHD as far as i know. On the other hand the outdated driver is not a problem as long as i get all the crap working as i want via x1(gen 1.0) pcie and in optimus mode for the compression.

Hi folks im new here, i didnt want to open a new thread so i will just ask my question here, and i hope someone answer me. So my question is: ís it possible to run eGPU with Nvidia Optimus on Acer Aspire 5730z. We are talking about Intel GL40 Express chipset with GMA4500M (non HD) with 64MB dedicated memory and up to 1695 dynamic shared. I was thinking of using Geforce GTS 450 or GT 440 (GDDR5) via x1-x16 powered riser and 12V adaptor. EDIT: Now looking at the GTX750Ti and imo its better take than either of 450 or 440 listed above, what concerns me though is what is the productivity loss from x16 to x1 of 750Ti (x1 gen 1.0)
