Megaxxx

Hi Megaxxx, yes, my eGPU is not visible in Device manager. I'll wait for any advise or do you have any ideas? Do you also have the 3D version of Dell 7720?

@Nando4 is probably the best techpro guy here... so I guess answer from him might be most helpful for us.

Thank you

Hi, I have a matrix monitor FullHD LED, glossy anti-glare. I have been buying at a problem that propodaet of despechera eGPU card.

Solution:

Remove the battery, wait, plugged in without the battery. Both cards appear in the Device Manager, but nVidia GeForce GT 650M again with an error for lack of resources. Next, disconnect both cards Manager, turn off the notebook, insert the battery, turn on the laptop, and both employ the cards since nVidia GeForce GT 650M. Works.

Next, check the settings:

The nVidia control panel settings to set "preferred graphics processor: a high-performance processor nVidia", "power management modes: preferred maximum performance." Then we go into the power settings, additional power plan settings, Pci express- link state power management - from network: Off.

Then he came along the A16 BIOS flashed him more was no such problem!

Hi, I have bios A16 there is no way to disable the built-in video card, this can be done by setting Setup 1.30, or flash the BIOS on the unlocked (there should be such a possibility). You disappear from the manager built dGPU 650M?

Interface connection - PCI-E

Tell me, I can not decide between PE4C-PM100C V2.1 and PE4L-PM060A 2.1b which will be better in skoroisti Gen and performance? And they work on an external laptop screen? From graphics cards GeForce GTX 750 Ti choose or GeForce GTX 960 and the power supply 300W or 400W.

Hello Megaxxx, as I see you have the same laptop as me and I asked the same question. I want to order Beast and test it first with some cheap eGPU. Please, keep me updated how will work PE4C, I'll do the same with Beast. Any experience can help to each one of us.

And weird that no one described experience with our Dell 7720 yet, its an excellent laptop and eGPU can make it even more powerful.

Thx

Yes, of course, how I will test'll tell you what happens. We will be in touch. And because the notebook is very good viduh only improve and more what he did not need! If there is something to learn sooner or vozmesh, accomplish your goal.

In my opinion it comes down to 2 things:

1) chipset: on this depends speed of the PCI-E port

2) BIOS: on this depends if the external card will be detected and allowed.

I have the same chipset as you and Beast (v6.1) works flawless for me. I even have same CPU and IGPU as you.

I finally received a Beast replacement (I destroyed my first one by connecting it incorrectly - used wrong 4-PIN power cable from ATX PSU).

So now I can confirm - I have used two Beasts. Both have Gen2 speed on my setup (with Nvidia GTX 970 external GPU).

Today I had 6 hours of gaming one of the latest games (Evil within - assignment) on 1080p max settings at 50-60 FPS. Laptop did not crash once.

So as for your Dell laptop - it only comes down to BIOS, if it allows unapproved hardware connected to PCI-E port, then you are good to go.

to make it short - you can go and buy whichever adapter you want and you will be happy with it. if you chose beast - remember, you can get 8% off the price - just look for my first post on this forum.

Here is proof that it runs on Gen2 speed:

here is my unigine heaven benchmark results:

Gain an excellent FPS and connected to an external monitor or a laptop and some food use to Nvidia GTX 970? And there are devices poderzhivayuschie Gen3 very interesting to know. Thank you

Take whichever you prefer, as many posters already have posted - Beast is known to be of less quality (in a sense of faults/ not working), but it is cheaper, PE4C is more expensive, supposed to be of better quality. There is no difference in performance between those two options.

if you chose Beast, I have seen posts that v6.1 is better than v7.0. comparison here: http://forum.techinferno.com/enclosures-adapters/6643-exp-gdc-beast-ares-v7-v6-discussion.html

In the first post of the thread find section: "Why EXP GDC V6/V7s better than PE4C V2.1?" You will see advantages and disadvantages of both.

Why do you have doubts regarding any of those options? If you are asking regarding compatibility, then as far as I understand - if one of them will work, then the other will also work for you.

Thanks for the help, I think taking BPlus PE4C V2.1. It should take just a power supply Dell D220P speakers? or something on the more powerful
