Ibiza20v

I am an Architect, and I have to travel sites like you. I am using Lenovo T420. I use to design Autocad, Revit 3dsmax a.nd Photoshop. This laptop is too comfortable and fast to do a lot of things. I upgraded it SSD and to 16GB Ram gradually. The last update it to EGPU. so it is expanded build real time renderings like in Lumion3D. I am using PE4L 2.1b with GTX 750ti. I don't know why thia card is scorring low rather then GTX 560. but it produces good score in lumion around 8000. the complex sceen is 50-40 fps.

Lenovo end up being great since most of them have thunderbolt or pci express ports. Dell is a great computer but not even a pci express port or thunderbolt in it!

Hi,

I work mostly with structure design software. TEKLA and Autocad. I travel a lot from construction site to construction site so its imposible for me to have a desktop computer. I bought the best machine I can buy with my limited resources, a DELL XPS 15 L521X with 16GB ram and a quad core cpu but the mobile Geforce GT 640 lacks the guts to handle decently even small bulidings models.

I saw this eGPU technology and I think its a solution for me since in every construction site I have external monitors available. The main problem is that I dont want to take out wireless to connect a cable to pci express there.

Is it possible to use a Pci express card to USB 3.0 adapter and plug the PE4H with a Quadro K2200 card with it to the Dell?

If it isnt possible to connect PE4H using USB 3.0 how would you recommend to do it?

I thanks in advance any advice.

Thanks!
