Hello everyone! I am now deciding whether I should invest in buying a new notebook or installing an eGPU. Being new to this, I have a few questions/things that I want to clarify before buying anything. First of all, I have the this notebook: Asus G74SX Chipset Intel HM65 Intel 2nd Gen i7 2670 QM 4 cores, 2.2 GHz (with internal Intel HD 3000) 8 GB RAM Dedicated GeForce GTX 560M I want to purchase an eGPU platform (also an ATX power supply and an Asus GeForce 960 video card), but I don't know which one is best for my notebook. I have the wifi card on a mPCI-E slot, so that's the one I need to use (no optimus for this notebook): 1. Which is better: EXP GDC Beast V7 or V8? Also, the Bplus PE4C V3.0 sounds nice, but really really hate the wires and connectors. 2. I read somewhere that Beast V7 supports Gen2 link, while Beast V8 only Gen1. Is this true? Also, if I choose Beast V7, how do I connect it to the notebook in order to achieve a Gen2 link? Is this achievable with a single wire/bus ? 3. Since the notebook has 2 GPUs, will I be needing any additional software (like the DSDT Override or eGPU setup 1.x) ? Several posts revealed that the software is necessary only for notebooks that don't have 2 GPUs (one internal iGPU and a dedicated dGPU). Any help/feedback is appreciated. Sorry for the long post and for the bad english.
