Hello

ive got a couple of questions, it would be appreciated any help!!

Id like to build an egpu (gtx 660ti+pe4l v.2.1b) to mini pcie (wifi slot)

laptop specs: MSI cx61 series, intel i7-3940xm, 16gb ram, samsung 840 ssd 500gb.... the only bottleneck is the gpu: gt 635m+intel 4000HD graphics

Is it possible to make it with a better card... for example gtx 780 or gtx 770?

I don´t understand the following...

1) the pci 2.0 of the pe4l is a bottleneck to pci 3.0 gpu?

2) can the gtx 660 ti run at its maximun capacity?

3) Can it be played on internal display??

Thank you

You would be much better with an Nvidia card as this allows Optimus and PCIe compression.

Both the PE4L and PE4H only support PCI 2.0, so the fact the card is 3.0 compatible makes no difference.

To use the 16x, you need a system with 16 1x ports, which the X230T does not have.

The 660Ti + PE4L v2.1b would be the best combination for you.
