The new RX 480 looks good among VR Ready GPUs so I'd like to know before I buy.

Nope since I returned the card and got a 660 instead. As for the setup, it's pretty much plug and play. P70 looks great. When my W520 dies I'll get a used P70, but I'm not sure if it ever gonna die...

However it didn't show any sign of error during the benchmark, only after.

After upgrading to 11082 from 10586, I can no longer boot into Windows with eGPU enabled. I tried to use DDU to uninstall all display drivers and successfully booted into Windows. However as soon as I finished installing driver, I could not boot. I'm using Thinkpad W520 (Nvidia Quadro 1000M + Intel HD 3000) with Nvidia GTX 560 Ti. The damn card is broken............

Thanks anyway. I found out a small program called NvOptimusTestViewer64.exe can help you to determine whether Optimus is enabled and working. I don't need to do anything to get Optimus, it's already working. Very amazing.

Hi. I just setup my egpu and i'm very happy with the performance. However I'd like to know how to enable 1.2 Opt on my system. I'm using EXP GDC, Lenovo Thinkpad W520, and GTX 560 Ti. Thanks.

Yeah I noticed those numbers and decided to go with a 560 Ti instead for the best bang per buck and lower power requirement. Thanks anyway!

Hi all. I'm new to eGPU and have a question here. I just ordered DA-2 and Beast. While I'm looking for a cheap GPU, I noticed this in Wikipedia: In the list GTX 470 has a TDP of 215W and GTX 570 has a TDP of 219W. Barely below DA-2's 220W output. My question is whether a single DA-2 can provide enough power for those 2 cards. If not, what is the upper limit for TDP? BTW I choose nvidia's card since my laptop supports optimus.
