so far my egpu is stable whenever im playing games but when I dont play and just browse say for about 30 mins, its like my egpu disconnects. even if its still powered up. feels like it goes into idle mode or sleep mode. I would have to reboot for it to work again

bplus is legit. but if youre having doubts, just order from amazon. They carry bplus products

Has anyone been able to extend the hdmi cable to mpcie. Tried extending this with hdmi with ehternet cable but doesnt work. It does power up the egpu thou

@snekiam- no overclocking done. You can check bus speed from gpuz

@ssss.sahoo68- yes via mpcie port

Followed your steps, but laptop appears to only use internal intel card now. Is there something I am missing? Y510p user here.

did you check device manager if it detected your egpu card? before installing the nvidia driver

:Banane47:only 'bout 15% performance drop(compared to external display) when using internal display.

now 'm thinkin' 'bout doing egpu on my y400.

yeah its awesome do it. I don't even bother using my external display. Playing witcher 3 from the internal display without problems so far

Does anyone know where to find some videocards for the y410p/510p? The only ones I can find are like $200 which is just ridiculous..

You can order the extra ultrabat gpu from thailand. Its less than $100. Not sure about the shipping thou. Just google JIB thailand

Did you get the internal LCD to display images rendered from your external card? If so, was there a performance loss? Also, did you unplug the wifi card for the pci-e slot? Thinking of doing this with my y510p.

yes I did get the internal LCD working. It just worked by default. didn't do anything. Going to benchmark today but I think there is a performance loss. Yes had to unplug the wifi card.

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)

Pics from windows

Benchmarks

heres my result using internal display

my PE4C egpu just arrived from amazon I noticed that the battery is hanging out. Im not sure if this is how its built but I feel like its missing a solder or something. Cant test right now as I am still waiting for my GPU. appreciate the help thanks

@will97 , your internal display benchmarks are pretty good. noob question, how do you guys use your internal display with egpu. I mean the steps, cant find any info on how to do it. thanks!

hi. just need to confirm if 1.30 will remove whitelisting of lenovo y410p? Planning on purchasing this software since I just got my PE4C dock and mount a 970 on it. I dont want to apply any bios mod since i have version 3.07 which I think doesnt have a mod yet. thank you

has anyone tried the wifi slot with their y510p?

check my y410 bios and I already have v3.07. Can I just downgrade to the required version and then flash to remove the whitelist?

Hi. I am about to order the EXP GDC beast dock and i have been reading alot from this site. Has anyone tried eGPU with a Lenovo y410p notebook? since this laptop doesnt have an expresscard slot, im going to be trying the mPCIE route. Just want to make sure before I purchase online. Ill be using a GTX 960 card by the way. thank you
