  1. Wouldn't an Nvidia GPU work better than an equal AMD GPU on my computer, since I have Optimus already installed? I will probably buy a 780TI if my test works out. And I should buy the PE4L adapter, correct? It supports PCIe 2.0, and can accept up to 16x cards?
  2. Are you saying that I can fully utilize a Titan with the compression and mPCIe? Are you sure? Because if my test with the AMD is successful (no compression, but proof that the system works,) then I will almost certainly sell my gaming desktop and have $1500 in my pocket to buy what I want, and I want a card that will perform best without exceeding the limits of the PCI adapter.
  3. Thank you, that's a relief! Now onto the business of the card itself. I'm probably going to buy the PE4H adapter, and I have a spare card to test with, an AMD HD6950. Is that too demanding for the throughput of mPCIe? What do you consider the 'maximum' for for an mPCIe slot, the GPU where, above that, the mPCIe slot limits the performance of the card? (I wand to go NVidia for the real deal, because that's what's in my laptop already.)
  4. Alright, we'll continue on here. I tried moving the card, and it didn't work anymore. Sometime today I'll check the BIOS, but I don't think there will be anything. Also, are you sure the slot labeled WLAN will work? Again, one of the stickies here said that WWAN (and I assume that that is similar to WLAN) style ports don't work, because they only have the throughput of a USB connection.
  5. Hi! I just started researching eGPU's, and I love the prospect of doing away with my desktop in favor of my laptop and eGPU (one hell of a space saver!) My laptop (ASUS Vivobook V551LB-DB71T) doesn't have an expresscard slot or a Thunderbolt port, but it does have an extra mPCIe port. The only thing is, I've read in the stickies that "WWAN" mPCIe ports don't work, and I'm wondering if mine are that type. Here is a picture of the ports in my laptop. I'm assuming that because the one with the wireless card in it labeled "WLAN" is the wrong kind, and wouldn't work. However, the second (unused) one appears to be labeled "SSD," which looks like a good sign. Would the second one work with an eGPU?
