hi im new Obviously, i have a mac ATM have had 1 mac before my current one and before that i had XP machine, i refused to go to vista so i jumped the windows ship.
but in the future im planning on going back and building a gaming/editing PC but for know i want to build a cheap EGPU for my 2012 RMBP give it a few more years while i scrimp and save to get a pc again.
im dyslexic so sometimes i dont spell things correctly, so i hope your not to bothered by the odd grammar mistake
BPlus PE4C V3/V2 discussion
in Enclosures and Adapters
Posted · Edited by Roars
im new (totally green to the concept of building my own EGPU) and have some questions concerning the newest of the Bplus PCB.
i have a macbook pro retina 15 2012 with 8gb ram i7
i want to get better performance in games and editing.
my mac has 2 thunderbolt 2 ports.
i also have an external 2560x1600 30" display,
did the pcb get updated recently or are they going to update it soon?
so how do i plug it in via thunderbolt do i have to hak a cable or solder one on ?
can i double my speed throughput by using both TB2 ports [spliced together or something].
what's the most powerful GPU i can buy before the cards get throttled. my internal GPU is 1gb so i would want at least a 2gb card if not a 3 or 4gb price depending.
PE4C V3.0
(PCIe x16 Adapter)
Does X16 mean 1 x16 lane, or 1x16 1lane or a 2lane so on. how do i get more lanes.
i could do with a comprehensive list of everything i would need to make it work and a cost breakdown so i can work out how much its going to cost in advance. (to work out if the cost will total to more than a pre build egpu device)
