Hi,
My first take on using an EGPU. Just wanted to play witcher 3 so bad.
My laptop:
- Lenovo Y410P
- i7 4700MQ 2.4Ghz
- 8GB RAM
- Geforce GT 750M dGPU, HD4600 iGPU
- Windows 8.1
My eGPU:
- Geforce GTX 970 Asus turbo
- PE4C v2.1a
- Antec 450W PSU
Configuration:
Just flashed my bios with the modded 3.05 version by svl7 to remove whitelisting.
Here are the steps I have taken:
- Dont plug the PE4C to your laptop yet
- Boot windows
- Disable the dGPU (GT750M in my case)
- Uninstal the drivers
- Go to BIOS, set video config to use iGPU only
- Shutdown, plug in the PE4C and then boot windows
- Once windows is booted, install the nvidia drivers
- Reboot
- Enjoy your new EGPU
Here are some pics of my laptop
Im still waiting for the pcie extenders so i can clean up the case (see cables sticking out)
