Thanks for the reply nando, I'll try that out (once I have the money). What is your thought about this?

Yeah of course i5 laptop will suck but I'm more shocked about how much powerful a desktop processor is compare to a laptop processor. A 5660 points difference, that's a lot more than what I thought it could be. On the other hand, I'm glad that graphics point isn't suffering much.

Should I buy a PE4C 2.1 or 3.0? Realistically, does the 3.0 with 5 gbps mPCIe/ EC outperform the 2.1 with mPCIe + EC setup, or even the 2.1 with one mPCIe/ EC setup? How many mPCIe slots does the 2570p have and is it true that mPCIe gives better performance than EC? Do I need to perform a DSDT override and/or even a setup 1.30 if I use mPCIe link with the hp 2570p instead of EC link? I currently have a hp 2570p, a gigabyte gtx 670 and a 650w ATX PSU. Thanks in advance. ps: I benchmark my above hardwares with the EXP GDC V6 with 3Dmark11 and the result is this http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/10466686 Compare to this http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/3353787 -1287 in graphics point and -5660 physics point! Is it because games with physx suffer huge drop in fps when using eGPU or my setup or my CPU (or both) just suck?

Thanks for the reply, I'm currently buying a 650w PSU to see if there's any differences. Though I would prefer that I don't need a 650w, would a 400w works? I just use the PSU to power up the 670 and the 670 alone so the PSU should be able to direct its power to the 670? Does it work that way? In the case of my CPU actually rendered my game instead of my GPU like you said then how can I fix it that problem?

I've a hp 2570p + EXP GDC V6 Express Card + Gigabyte GTX 670 windows 8.1 UEFI setup. It seem like my express card can't handle the GTX 670 capability because when I play Metal Gear Rising for benchmarking, no matter how low I decreased the setting, the fps is still the same as the highest setting leading me to the conclusion that the express card simply can't transfer all of the data between the 670 and my 2570p fast enough. Is there a solution for this? I've switched my Express Card setting from Gen 1 and Gen 2 before the test. ps: I forgot to mention, my fps is about like, below 10? ps2: I guess I figure it out after watching a few videos about egpu. My setup doesn't have a PSU, is this the source of the problem? What kind of PSU do I need? Is a 650w necessary or not?

What is the purpose of the switch on the V6? If I've a V6, am I done for? Can it power a GTX 670? Can I use the HDMI - Expresscard Cable to connect my PS3 to my PC laptop screen? Thanks.

http://forum.techinferno.com/hp-business-class-notebooks/2537-12-5-hp-elitebook-2570p-owners-lounge.html#post38399 I have question about this, does enable ASPMs in the ACPI FACP and set L0s L1s in the pci-e configuration cause problem for the eGPU in windows 8.1? Another question: I've a EXP GDC V6, can it power a GTX 670 with no problem?
