Hold on tight with this thread it will happen soon Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

It depends on the demand maybe since the acrylic version compatible with the V6 is still being sold so...

Oh alright yes - - - Updated - - - If you are going to give it away for free, i will PM you my address and will pay for shipping! =)

well alrighty then, I hope the enclosure for V6 will soon be released too, otherwise the acrylic one would be better for me I guess

I change my mind now it is worth it due to the newly released GTX 980 which supports 4K output at 60 hz so your good to go Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

oh alright thanks! But how is the cooling going to be implemented?

I am a bit worried about electric conductivity of the steel one, will it give possible shock? Hell i love electronics but not electricity. Yes why not give this suggestion mate? Later on it might evolve to a combo PCB, Enclosure, and Power adapter in one package, like that of the sonnet III D and will surely expand the audience and his sales!

Mate for particular answers you got to stick with the proper thread, please go here; EXP GDC VX Discussion http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/6643-exp-gdc-v6-discussion.html

@jacobsson Yez please tell em black version for the EXP GDC V6, what are your thoughts on this enclosure vs the acrylic one? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Means? (stupid dumb lazy sleepy afternoon question LOL)

@jacobsson Yes finally, but I want to have at least a black colored piece! Can we suggest that to hero cloud? now a new dilemma; Acrylic vs Steel enclosure?!

- Found this forum this year, I was following this topic years ago at NBR forums. - Excited to see the community still alive and kicking here at Tech Inferno! eGPU crowds left hanging in NBR Forums corrupt and evil philosophies over there.. - Interested to finally make my own DIY eGPU. Now my answers to your questions; - I won it on eBay at best offer of $110 including shipping, that's it. - At the time of "The Decision", PE4C V2.0 sales were put on hold due to some tech issues hence I opted for the EXP GDC V6 since this was a 4 year long overdue project to me. - Bought it via Yoybuy - the EXP GDC V6 with Dell DA-2 adapter (Instructions in the OP, read them alright?), eBay for the GPU. - I am yet to decide on the enclosure, IMHO it is needed since stability is one issue with big GPUs. TLDR: Buy it already! Jezus its dirt cheap man! and it works with Lenovo laptops don't worry!

In fairness to the EXP GDC V6 and the DA-2 adapter that works with it, it seems fine enough I guess, everything is stable and I don't want to overclock this as of the moment, from time to time whenever I am gaming I try to touch and hold the dell adapter and it seems to have normal performance temps. Yes I will do benchies soon so standby

Sorry my eGPU write up is long overdue..I will make it soon once I will find the time Answers to your questions; 1. I purchased an EXP GDC V6 with that Dell DA-2 adapter rated at 220 Watts. 2. Benchies will soon be on my overdue write up..I don't have a desktop PC by the way. 3. Basically my setup's just plug and play thank goodness (Lenovo G500 budget notebook). Attached the eGPU via mini PCIe, power on the Dell DA-2 adapter, turn on the laptop and that's it!

Ah yes you are correct at 500 bucks one can build a pc...I'm sorry I don't quite get your question but if you are just referring to my RAM (i use 4GBx2=8GB) its still the same RAM usage in using an eGPU vs dGPU, did not notice any decrease but if you are talking about 3GB VRAM of the 7950, I don't know how to monitor the usage of VRAM during gaming and photo/video editing.

@Tech Inferno Fan Is there any similar app that actually works? This software is such a PITA really

sir Tech Inferno Fan, is this still a working software? I tried it on my i5 3230M with Intel HD 4000 but it is not working? Is it only the trial which is having an issue? I could not install it and it throws an error that I can only install in a desktop pc. It should be purchased to have the proper version? Sorry for so much questions.

Mate we are lucky with our laptops, I had a successful setup of an EXP GDC V6 and Radeon HD 7950 and it was all just plug and play!

Probably the new NVIDIA GTX 980 can suffice your need bro, it such a powerful GPU that peaks at 190 Watt full load only... But then again the pcie/expresscard bandwidth issue might bottleneck its performance, Heck I got the same card as yours but I can really see its bottlenecked by my lappy's mini pcie speeds.. Otherwise, I don't mind cause I can run and enjoy games at ultra settings like a dream.

LOLs exactly! Go RED TEAM !

Hmm I don't think so, maybe what is left of them as of now is to lower prices of GPUs despite the "High Demand" for Mining and Gaming, hell I want to see an R9 290X @ $280 bucks LOL or an R9 280 @ $200 bucks and would do a crossfire ASAP LOL, they might still have some tricks hidden under their sleeves..poor Red Team

Yes its definitely big news to us gamers and eGPU enthusiasts, except that my resources limits me in setting up a thunderbolt setup.. I hope the Red team has an answer to this release or they better lower the whole R9 GPU prices down ASAP... - - - Updated - - - @jacobsson hey I think I saw couple of minutes back in hardforum some mini ITX I mean short PCB length GTX 970s, it might bring a more compact EXP GDC V6 setup too. Damn such tempting GPUs from NVIDIA here with low TDPs

Man these Maxwells really shake up the gaming section of the GPU market! The green team really wants to topple the red team, damn look at the powe consumption of this Gigabyte GTX 980; Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 Gaming review - Hardware Setup | Power Consumption I wonder what will be AMDs answer to this move

Good news guys! Maxwell Nvidia GPUs are really now that power efficient! See the below link for power consumption of a Gigabyte GTX 980 card! 191 Watts full load!! We can probably assume that it can still be used with the Dell DA-2 adapter! Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 Gaming review - Hardware Setup | Power Consumption only thing left now is the bandwidth limitation of the mini PCI-e and expresscard slots!
