@Tech Inferno Fan There seem to be another good news to folks with TB2 Laptops A newcomer who is selling TB2 enclosures for $349! HighPoint offers Slim Thunderbolt 2 PCIe Expansion Chassis - - - Updated - - - Your statement is indeed useful! Did you made a setup already? I am too much busy testing my rig, recently my system is now having the sleep bug issue, I did a little research and I found that this issue is sporadic with old AMD cards such as the Radeon HD 7XXX series. What happens is that once your CPU and GPU is under load (apps games) suddenly monitor goes black but both Laptop and eGPU is on and working but nothing is being displayed on the monitor as if in "Sleep Mode" and there is no choice but to hold power button and reboot system, tonight I will by trying it the newly released AMD Catalyst 14.9 WHQL drivers and see if the issue is still present.

Maybe they saw your post sue them jacobsson! LOL Yeah did you get the reference GTX 970 and for how much? How about the temps? Lovely reference design, I would want to use that and put it inside that EXP GDC V6 ACRYLIC enclosure....NEXT YEAR!!! Dying for a TB2 setup, heck bring on Thunderbolt 3 Intel!!!

Such remarkable results mate! But you can probably hit more scores when your i7 and GTX 970 will be OCed a little bit Can you post images of your new sweet and powerful setup? By the way, I was reminded of your setup with this; Some new random company selling monitors where you can assemble PC components from the backside of it, CRAAZY! mono All-In-One Desktop PC

Gaming performance will be bottlenecked by TDP,heat, and power limits. Nice for an HTPC, might support 4K streaming? Thunderbolt option for eGPU and or eGPU via mini PCIe slot will be feasible LOL

Anyone ditto on my idea?

Oops my bad!

880M? and the 980M is just around the corner?

GTX 980M preferably in SLi

Probable Keywords for you my friends to obtain this gpu in the future; "upgrademonkey" "eBay" "GTX 980M MXM" Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

2013 Macbook Pro with Intel Iris Pro + DIY eGPU Sonnet III 3d TB2 + GTX 780 SLI = WIN! Agree much?

Yes I definitely would want to go with this naming scheme since it is very confusing to identify setups and speeds across all different implementations, heck NGFF and thunderbolt 3 are also upcoming to add to the confusion later so I guess this will make a naming schema of eGPU to be uniform and easy to understand for enthusiasts and beginners alike.

Most probably the available egpu adapters are backwards compatible bud, if youll go with the EXP GDC V6/V7 you need to choose a card with a TDP rating below 200 Watts Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

OMG It has not been released for PC? Did not know that! Will sign for it soon

I think their philosophy now is Pre orders first (make the money come in), console release, sales study, then PC release (think GTA V) "It's all about the Benjamins baby" - Puff Daddy

not single speck of dust mate I'm afraid, they (AMD) are most probably preparing for a desktop GPU as an answer to that GTX 980 release

This question is tough, it depends if your BIOS has whitelisted this slot which means it may not detect third party devices inserted in it and will give a halt during bootup and will give a message that "device is not supported please remove it" Why not purchase en eGPU adapter and experiment with it, if it does not work resell it

So what will happen with the notebooks and buyers for mobilr cards with 880M something? Early adopters dilemma? Not me Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

OMG buddy try to do some little reading of topics posted by Nando4, guaranteed you can figure it out as I did for my Lenovo G500..good luck! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

This is goint to be both awesome and history defining moment! You will be the new Prophet of the eGPU world bud and I am predicting it! LOL Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

So I tried this to my Lenovo G500 which has the same default software of dust cleaning and well what do you know, it works too! I just could not stand the noise, it distracts me during my gaming sessions Thanks and very nice software mr OP! I will try to test the temps soon as I find time!

Well this is good news to all eGPU enthusiasts!

Exactly, please post images of your setup soon too!

Yes you can try asking your yoybuy agent to provide you a UK EU style plug, they gave me one for free does not hurt to ask =) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Is anyone here? Is this thread still alive or closed down? Perhaps there might be an alternative to this software? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Does that mean we have to buy new types of HDMI ot DVI cables? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
