Allright so I've run some benchmarks and here are results. Lenovo Z580 (i7 3612QM Ivy + MSI GTX 760 + Exp Gdc beast adapter, using external monitor): PhysX set to use CPU, basic presets (free 3dmark versions). 3dmark11: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3612QM Processor,LENOVO Lenovo - 7307 (GPUBoss score 8730) 3dmark06: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3612QM Processor,LENOVO Lenovo - 20247 (Some random scores on the internet were about 24k~) I'm not using eGPU setup 1.3 as it seems that my eGPU is already working through mPcie at 5.0GT/s and Optimus mode is working too because I can use my internal display.

Hello, here again with some questions. My setup: Lenovo Z580 with i7, EXP GDC Beast with GTX760 and 650W ATX PSU (rest here: http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D-454.html#post124897). Now my problem is that the GPU runs only at 3000Mhz memory clock (see here: http://i.imgur.com/5pW4WvA.png , its supposed to run at 6000Mhz) and my PSU makes weird noises like coil whine. Is this because of the mPcie bottleneck? or It can be something else?

Hello, some updates on this post: http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D-454.html#post124897 My EXP GDC just arrived, I already tried it like this - wired everything, disabled dGPU in Bios, connected mPcie connector, installed drivers and everything is working. One small thing which I think I know what's the issue. Two of mine 400W PSUs are doing weird noises like coil whining, some cracking etc... With this I'm also having some slight stripes on my monitor (probably just a interference with VGA cable, this was different on both PSUs better on one and worse on another), so I will try a 650W PSU from my friend toomorow with both 6pin and 8pin connectors for my GTX760. And a DVI or HDMI cable.

Hello, I've read a lot (please trust me) but I'm still not sure. I have some problems I can't figure out by myself. My specs for beginning: i7 3612QM, Geforce GT630M, 8GB of RAM - rest on screenshots HERE: http://imgur.com/a/ZOIAi So, is my laptop compatible? I already ordered the EXP GDC Beast external slot with mPcie connector and I thought that my laptop is somewhat compatible - look at the screenshot HERE : http://i.imgur.com/HRaILGH.png. I guess I got mislead by the ending of the 8 digits - CFA00000 I probably thought it's for TOLUD 2.50GB. Also as you can see my dGPU is on - E0000000 which is incompatible, my iGPU is on - D0000000 which is compatible according to the TOLUD table and I dont know if this even matters. One last question to this - can those numbers differ by Windows? Last time I was checking was on Windows 7 and now I'm on Windows 10. Apparently I can't even read: Sorry for this. Some more questions about this: So first of all I've read about Optimus(x1.Opt or some) driver, I've found some in old thread on "notebookreview" and there was a "make-one-yourself" guide but the link is broken. So I wanted to know how to make one myself because the "inf"s are only for old GPU's and drivers. Secondly I already bought GTX760 (because it was cheap) will mPcie bottleneck this card? And last of all - I have switchable graphics in my Bios (Internal only, Optimus mode) and unlocked bios (no whitelist check). Will I need your eGpu setup to make this all work? Or it should be enough to disable dGPU in bios and do DSDT override in registry in case of errors?? Thanks in big advance. (PS: Sorry if this thread is in wrong forum and for my clunky english) Thanks again. /edit 1/ I have noticed that noone tried eGPU on this laptop (atleast I didn't found anything about it in this forum) so I will try to post my experience here. I successfully enabled DSDT override on Windows 10 http://i.imgur.com/Rgw4aJw.png (now I will wait for my external slot to arrive). Only problem I had was UEFI Secure Boot which I had to disable for "testsigning" to work.

Hello, First of all thanks for this thread, gave me a lot of useful information. I've readed a lot (please trust me) but I'm still not sure. I've ordered the EXP GDC Beast external slot. Now I've got some questions for you guys. - I have this eGpu - Album on Imgur Lenovo Z580 - it's an i7 3612QM Ivy Bridge with HM76 chipset and mPcie 2.0 (5.0gb/s, I'm not 100% sure at this and that is why I also included the imgur album link). So first of all I've readed about Optimus (x1.Opt or some) driver, I've found some in old thread on "notebookreview" and there was a "make-one-yourself" guide but the link is broken. So I wanted to know how to make one myself because the "inf"s are only for old GPU's and drivers. Secondly I want to buy a GTX960 probably and if I will get somewhere some more money I wanted to get GTX970. Will it be worth with my laptop with the bottleneck of my slot? And last of all - I have switchable graphics in my Bios (Internal only, Optimus mode) and unlocked bios (no whitelist check). Will I need your eGpu setup to make this all work? Probably yes because I will need to switch the pcie mode if I'm right - and there's another question: I didn't found my chipset in pre-purchase faq theres only HM6x with N/A (locked in bios) Thanks in big advance.
