  1. Hey people of techinferno! I recently got a Dell E6420 for 100 euro off a buddy of mine. So i decided to buy an EXP GDC Beast[V8.0] with Expresscard adapter. Been looking at eGpus for a while so said id try it out. I had a HD 7850 in a box under my bed so it seemed only right to put it to use. Specs: cpu - i5-2520M gpu - 7850 1Gb Ram - 6Gb 1333Mhz I have had some problems though. It booted first time and had no problems getting it up and running, I used firestrike to test it as i had the 7850 benched in a PC previously. After some OCing i got the graphics score to about 83%~ the performance of it at stock(in a PC running at full speed). Core 860 -> 1050 , memory 1200 -> 1275. Which i thought was great for x1 vs x16. Unfortunately i found this synthetic bench to not translate into real world AT ALL. My first tick off to this was when i launched Kodi to watch some shows and it crippled my PC to a near standstill where i was recieving 1 Frame per 3 seconds, Being able to stream 1080P videos no problem with the IGP HD3000. this did not bother me much however it was when i launched a game that i really saw this problem. i only play LoL and CS:GO regularly and it truly shocked me to find out these were even unplayable, Despite both reading over 60FPS the Stutter, screen tearing and FPS drops in general are appalling The HD3000 IGP runs both these games at much lower FPS but its stable( as in when i shoot in CS or cast a skill in LoL it doesn't stutter or just drop to 5FPS). So basically my eGpu does work, just stutters and drops like crazy. I was just wondering if this is something regular or if i have missed something in setting it up?
