Hi guys !

A little question... How do you choose the external power supply for your graphic card ? Hwtools told me that I have to take their product (Dell D220P) for the PE4C, but the product is refurbished, accept only 220w (so I'm limited in my choice of graphic card) and a bit expensive. Actually I'm searching another kind of power supply, but I don't know where to search to be honnest...

Is only Dell proposing this kind of product ? Else no, which company ?

Thanks a lot,

Biker

Please refer to Acer V3 771 schematic.

Thanks Nando for your answer, but to be honest, I don't understand 90% of the information present in the PDF... In your opinion, is that possible to convert the msata port to mpcie in the bios ? I mean that the port can accept an external egpu with my actual configuration ? if not, what do I have to change/ update ?

Regards

Hi biker63, reading here and there I can't find a specific way to do so, just find MIGHT be possible but not a specific instruction to verify or do it.

Hope others more expert than me can give you a specific advice.

Too bad... There are no other issue to test the Msata port ? Here a pic of the computer: http://www.jdhodges.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/DSC_7359-acer-aspire-V3-771G-motherboard-1200x869.jpg

Do you know someone who can help me ? However, thanks a lot davide !!!!

mSATA will be for new HDD/SSD. Problem is if can be used as mPCIe.

Hi davide ! Sorry for the late... Here different pics of my bios, and I don't know how to verify if the Msata can be used as Mpcie....

Your model seems to have no external PCIe compatible interface such as Thunderbolt or ExpressCard.

Did have an internal mSATA slot that might be used as mPCIe slot, where you can connect an eGPU.

I think (others can confirm) you need to check your BIOS if you can switch mSATA port to mPCIe, since mSATA and mPCIe are electrically compatible but not guaranteed to be interchangeable (depends on motherboard).

If not, there is no way I know you can use a eGPU since you haven't any way to connect on..

Hi davide445, thanks for your answer.

I will take a look at it tonight. You sure that I really don't have an mPcie port ? I know that I can add an other hard drive, there is a slot available for this.

Nevertheless, thank you again.

Just to add that I think I will take a GT 740, with 2gb. My computer have the mpcie slot ! But I don't know if the BIOS can support it...

UP my friends, thank you for your future help !

Hi guys, a friend has recommanded me this forum if I needed answers to my questions so....

I have an Acer Aspire V3-771g, with an Intel core i7, 8gb DDR3 of ram, an integrated video card (Intel HD graphic 4000) and a second (Nvidia GT710M with 2gb dedicated).

My question is the following: Can I upgrade my laptop with an EGPU ? My friend tell me that the perfect guy for this question is "Nando", but I'm totally open for all you answers guys !!

Thanks a lot,

Regards,
