Hi again, Dan! As you said, when I run 3DMark06 on external monitor the score works! I got 22500 points!! GPU-Z shows that my GTX750Ti runs at PCI-Express x1 2.0 Thanks again for your help -Matthew

Just tried it and it WORKS!!! You're the best, thank you so much! I was disabling/uninstalling the PCI root, not the PCI-e I've done benchmark in 3DMark06, but when I was redirected to browser to see my score, it showed C0...Anyways, I was getting roughly 2times more FPS then before and for example War Thunder maxed out runs 25 - 40 FPS!! If you want, I can try to run the benchmark again... -Matthew

Hi dan! Thank you very much for clearing that up! I have UEFI bios, that means that x1 setup wouldn't be the best solution, so I tried disabling PCI drivers. dGPU is connected to PCI port no.1, so I uninstalled dGPU driver (I had it only disabled, not uninstalled) and I also uninstalled PCI driver no.1, but when I restart my laptop, PCI driver is reinstalled and dGPU is recognized as a Video controller (compatible with VGA)...Could you please tell me what is the best solution for this problem? -Matthew

Hi guys! In this post, I would like to briefly describe my specs and how I've attached eGPU to my laptop ASUS K55V. Specs of my laptop: Processor - Intel Core i7 3610QM dGPU - Nvidia GeForce GT 630M (2GB) iGPU - Intel HD Graphics 4000 RAM - 8GB Win 7 Home Premium PCIe 2.0 Adapter that I use is EXP GDC v7.0 mPCIE version - I've ordered it from Banggood.com and it came to Europe in week, then it was 2 weeks in customhouse in my country, but that's because I ordered it a week before Christmas. Plus it was free, so that's good, I think... The eGPU I bought is Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti Gainward 2GB DDR5 - I highly recommend this card, because it fits perfectly in EXP GDC v7.0, its TDP is only 60W (you can use little 12V, 5A PSU) and for roughly 160$ you get a really good price/performance ratio! Implementation: Attach eGPU onto EXP GDC (I had to push it relatively strong on the adapter) Attach PSU (I used White Energy power supply for LED strips/tapes 60W, pin positive, DC jack 2.1mm x 5.5mm) With laptop turned off and with removed battery, remove WiFi card from its slot and then attach the cable from the adapter Boot up the laptop and in the device manager disable dGPu -> restart eGPU is recognized as standard VGA adapter -> install official driver from nvidia website Restart (I had to few times) eGPU is recognized as GTX 750 Ti So that's how I've done it, my internal monitor works and my secondary monitor works too. BUT I can play games only on secondary monitor (external monitor), because it's managed by GTX 750Ti and internal monitor is managed by Intel HD Graphics 4000. When I open up nVidia control panel GTX 750Ti is recognized, but it only manages secondary monitor. I don't really get the Optimus tweak, could someone please tell me if it's possible on my setup and how should I do it? Also 3D Mark 06 benchmarks my dGPU and GTX 750Ti isn't probably recognized. I think so, because I only get 12.000 points and my dGPU is marked as primary in 3D Mark... I would like to say thank you very much to everyone who've done this forum, it really helped me. I didn't have to spend 2500$ on a gaming laptop and for only 300$ I upgraded my laptop and extended my laptops service life for another 2-3 years. -Matthew
