Hello guys, I'm pretty new to this eGPU method for laptops, but I have read through many threads and what not before I decided to spend a bit of money on it. My setup is an Acer Aspire V5 552P-X617 with AMD cpu @3.5G + Radeon built in card@512MB DDR3 OS is Windows 8.1 64bit and 8 gigs of ram. My egpu adapter is an EXP GDC ARES V7 + Radeon 7950 by XFX Ok, now let me explain my problems, my setup is working COMPLETELY fine, it works right out of the box and I can run some games pretty well, but some games not. I researched and realized that I could increase my link speed to increase performance. I bought the DIY EGPU setup and copied it to a USB, and managed to boot into it. (BTW my mPCI slot is 3.0) When I got into the menu I selected the status option, and it turns out that my eGPU is NOT detected, but detected flawlessly when im in windows. I have tried various methods and none of them worked. Could anybody or Nando4 help me out with this? Thanks! (eGPU is still working in windows) - - - Updated - - - BTW, if I change the link speed, does the configuration still last if I reboot? or do i still have to boot into DIY EGPU setup? PS: When I type "lspci" I see the sound card for my GPU(7950) and the GPU by itself, but when i type status it doesnt see it... weird.
