T1BillionX, It seems your Qosmio has a free ExpressCard so that is good. As long as you are not using it you can get adapters that have PCIE to Expresscard. it seems that the best adapter would be the Bplus PE4C 3.0, as recommended here by Tech Inferno Fan. It seems this has cabling like the PE4L 2.1 that provides a stable signal and has Gen-3 compliance, which is more than enough since most modern notebooks have Gen 2 compliance. You can find the PE4C 3.0 at this link. Or if you prefer to buy through Amazon, it is available there too.You'll notice on that page the adapter has a slot for an ATX Power supply to plug in. I hope this helps with the adapter.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to setup an eGPU for my laptop, but I had a few questions and concerns about my plans. My X230T: i5-3320M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD My planned setup: - EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB (TDP 60w, Maxwell) OR MSI GTX 750 Ti OC (TDP 60w, Maxwell) OR MSI GTX 650 OC 2 GB (TDP 65w, Kepler) - Bplus PE4C V3.0 (recommended here by Tech Inferno Fan) - AC-D220P adapter (220 W) - I don't see a need for any other hardware. I do recognize that I will need to get Setup 1.30 to perform compaction, based on previous X230/T user experience. My planned usage: Multiple monitors and gaming (SC2, Mass Effect, GTAV, Assassin's Creed, etc). I'm not sure if examples of my usage will help, but someone else requested this information for a previous similar inquiry. My concerns: Maxwell vs Kepler GPU. Looking at price vs performance it seems getting the EVGA GTX 750Ti SC is the best value, however, I am concerned about not having Nvidia Optimus working. The guide suggested a Fermi/Kepler card and the 750TI is a Maxwell card. Will Optimus work on this card or not? It seems like it might based on these results from netzealot. The implementation was marked as "4Gbps+c-EC2" which used to be called x1.2Opt. GPU TDP I'm hoping to use the AC adapter to power the GPU and it seems that all GPUs will easily be powered by the adapter (TDP<220w). Am I correct in making this assumption or am I misinterpreting the data? GPU RAM Will having more GDDR5 cause bigger problems with the TOLUD and addressing? As I said above, I'd like to go with the EVGA GTX 750Ti SC, but I don't want to end up with a nice card that won't work well in an e-GPU laptop implementation. Any help is appreciated, I'm open to ideas/suggestions, and let me know if I should provide more info!
