Hi all, does anyone know where i could sell my PE4H to Expresscard kit, its about 3 months old and in perfect condish and I m in the UK. Regrettably, although i got my eGPU up and running no problem, it wasn't performing very well in games so i ended up buying a desktop and putting my graphics card in that. My laptop was just not suited well (2009 MBP) as it was restricted by the X1 link. To get the eGPU to work well, i would have had to buy a Lenovo, or a thunderbolt Mac or something, so i just went for a cheap desktop instead because my Mac is fine for everything else i do. I look forward to this developing in future, its already well on the way, due in no small part to Nando's efforts, thanks again for all your help, and sorry if this is not the right place to ask about where to sell components. Karlos PS I signed your email petition for NBR Nando, i hope it got sorted out in the end!

Thanks very much for this Nando! I can confirm it is an Nvidia chipset according to CPU-Z and AIDA 64, i assume they are pretty releiable, so no X1E. The iGPU is an Nvidia 9600M GT, so i think optimus is not possible? However, I noticed in the post above you say if the OP can disable the NVS 4200M then 1.2Opt would be possible, i thought you could only do it on intel iGPU's? If the OP in the above post can do it, would i be able to disable my 9600M GT to use Optimus with an nvidia card? I guess im just confused why my current set up can run more modern titles and not older ones, one might assume it would be the other way around? and i thought an ATI set up at X1 woudl be better for DX9 games whihc the Cand C titles are i think Thanks again for your help

Hi all, really glad to see you here! I feared the worst when i saw the NBR debacle, thanks to Nando for keeping it going I m hoping for some kind advice from you guys. I have an egpu set up and working: System Macbook pro 2009 Win 7/64 with bootcamp 2.66 core2duo 4GB ram egpu 550 ocz modular PSU sapphire HD 7750 via expresscard @X1 My benchmarks are ok, not as good as some but ok: 3dmark 06 ~12000 3dmark vantage ~9000 with GPU score ~14000 RE5 variable with DX9 and DX 10 around 80 FPS Heres the thing, i like RTS games and i set this up to run old C and C titles, eg. tiberium wars, red alert 3 etc. but the set up struggles with these games even thought they are from 2007/2008. I get rubbish FPS and it crashes periodically At the same time i can run Starcarft 2/diablo 3 on ultra setting with no issue at all, i dont understant it. Surely if it can run these games OK and RE5 at 80 FPS it should run 4 year old games?? could anyone suggest why this might be? Thanks for any advice K PS. I ve tested the PSU with multimeter and it is fine
