Thx. I had no idea about the PCI express version differences. Had to look it up couldn't find it at HP specs but HWiNFO tells me it has Version 1.1 at 2,5Gb/s and Maximum Link Width: 1x AMD yes interesting because I was focussed towards Nvidia who my friends all recommend these days. I got an AMD 6970 in an old pc which is a good card only it has a water block cooling. Not so convenient for external use but i can try to make something of it. I could try some cards from friends. Not in a hurry to buy something new. Oh and the Beast has arrived here in Netherlands with no added tax. There is no manual or description just the block, expresscard and three cables.

Hi, I bought an EXP GCD BEAST from banggood. Today I can pick it up at the post office. Curious about this low priced piece of hardware. My laptop is a very nice HP elitebook 8440p i7 version. I have a 30" NEC monitor 2560x1600. The laptop runs this resolution, which is very nice for photo's, but games are too heavy. I use a docking station now to connect keyboard, mouse, lan, is that a problem together with Exp gcd? I don't have a graphics card yet, any recommendations?
