Hello I am having the same issue, were you able to resolve it?

"The most common, legitimate use for DMA ports is developer debugging, a task that some developers need to perform and one that few consumers will ever perform. Because USB; DisplayPort; and other, more secure port types satisfy consumers, most new mobile PCs do not include DMA ports. Microsoft’s view is that because of the inherent security risks of DMA ports, they do not belong on mobile devices, and Microsoft has prohibited their inclusion on any InstantGo-certified devices. InstantGo devices offer mobile phone–like power management and instant-on capabilities; at the time of writing, they are primarily found in Windows tablets. In 2014, Microsoft expects to see InstantGo trickle down into more mobile device types, such as convertibles and traditional laptops." In short Microsoft is against DMA on mobile devices, meaning no eGPU possibility at all. Sorry... https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn632182.aspx

OK so this is what I have so far, two graphics card reporting no errors to windows. The only problem is that neither one has working drivers. If I only install the drivers for my nvidia card it works normally but the AMD card shows an error. If I install the drivers for the AMD card and not the Nvidia card it is still not detected by Catalyst instead the AMD drivers report the Nvidia card in everything but hardware information which shows an incomplete list of the AMD card. This is what I have done so far: 1. Uninstall all drivers with DDU 2. DSDT override 3. Then I hotplug the expresscard after post 4. Set it to X1E mode 5. 36 bit compaction on both DGPU and EGPU with a 32 bit restriction on the DGPU 6. Boot windows which shows two cards running normally but the AMD doesn't output to the external display. Please help, thanks in advance. My specs are a ICH9M Chipset with a T9600, 4GB RAM, an integrated GT 240M 1GB DDR3 and Expresscard HD 7770 GHZ 2GB GDDR5

If I had $2500 to spend this is what I would buy. Of course my desktop if upgraded would still be a much better financial decision. Hypothetically: i5-4440/2X 4GB/1TB 7200/500W/7950 3GB GDDR5 $450 NEW If I had bought a GTX 970 for $170 more I think it would surpass your systems gaming performance for $1000 less when including the price of a macbook air 11.

I purchased all the components from a user on Notebookreview but I am having extreme difficulties getting this to work, however I think I am on the precipice of success. My setup is a ICH9M board with expresscard and an integrated Nvidia dGPU, I am trying to get this to work in X1E with an AMD HD 7770. 1: DSDT override 2: hotplug expresscard while in Setup 1.X 3: F5 to detect it then engage X1E 4:Run PCI compaction 36 bit selecting both EGPU and DGPU or just EGPU then only DGPU for 32 bit restriction 5: There are no errors by windows as long as I have my DGPU nvidia drivers unistalled however I cannot get it to connect to an external monitor or get detected by catalyst This setup is useless as it is now and I am at my wits end. Additional information: I have tried hotplugging at other times for example during the windows load screen, during sleep, during hibernate. I have also tried to completely disable the DGPU from Setup 1.X but that didn't work at all. I read somewhere about a hijack method, i think if I can somehow get windows to switch from my DGPU output to my EGPU it will work.

Hello, I have been here before but apparently my account got deleted since I signed up during a period that was deleted when some servers went down. Anyway, I have achieved a DSDT override and 36 bit compaction, however since my system is a old ICH9M based notebook without a iGPU instead and an Nvidia dGPU it is having trouble creating resources for the HD 260X I am trying to install via expresscard Ares 7.0. Currently I have it setup where there is a code 35 error on the pci express root port that the eGPU is located. This is in spite of the fact that the card is detected in device manager and the drivers installed but won't run.
