What kind of cables are required for a egpu?
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to salamander555's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
Everything is there other than power supply and video card itself. Use an ATX PSU with PCIe power. -

You know what? I don't know either! So come on, let's hop aboard the magic school bus of discovery! http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+optimus -
If you have to ask, the answer is "You don't need it".

dell 3340 won't power on gtx 950

Use the CPU 4-pin connector, not the ATX 4-pin. -

2. The card only runs at PCIe 2.0 speeds when it has something to do. 3. You don't need to think about Optimus if the card already works as you want it to work. be it on internal or external monitor. -
eGpu Beast V8 crashing
Another Tech Inferno Fan replied to Pink fluffy unicorn's topic in DIY e-GPU Projects
I'm going to get tired of reposting this thread. I'm also probably going to get flak because perhaps I might even be misleading people, myself included, but as yet I can't find any alternate possibility other than EM interference that some other guy managed to resolve by physically moving his PSU away from the eGPU. -
Help please, how to connect egpu?

Can you explain what you mean by "run better"? My card gives out randomly at times. I've figured that it's because of signal integrity issues because the EXP GDC uses a socketed connection, since it comes back if I wiggle the cable. -
Theoretically yes. Practically however, remains to be seen. I can't imagine how much noise this would add to the signal, considering you're adding so much more physical length to the cabling, not to mention additional socketed connections. The EXP GDC already has enough signal integrity issues with the one socketed connection it already has. Also, is there really so much space on the inside of the Yoga S1 to conceal the entire mPCIe-to-HDMI cable?

The card or whether it's a mobile variant or not doesn't matter. The core inside does. The mobile variants of each "card" share the same core as some desktop card. For instance, a GTX675MX is fundamentally the same as a GTX680, as they share the same GK104 core, albeit with some CUDA cores and other compute units disabled, as well as drastic cuts in clock speeds to keep within thermal envelopes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units#GeForce_600_series. The "desktop-equivalent" GTX980 and 10-series cards you see nowadays is nothing more than the exact same thing, except the core chips don't have any disabled CUDA cores or whatever as compared to their desktop "equivalents". However they don't perform as well as they do because boost clocks still need to be reduced in most cases to keep within thermal limits. I myself have (had) a GTX580 operate on internal display via Optimus. See also #4: https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/6275-pre-purchase-faq/, and I'm sure you'll find many others (both on here and NBR) who have had Optimus working on cards from the GTS450 onwards. The reason you don't see GTX550Ti and such listed as Optimus-capable on their website is that makes no sense for Nvidya to advertise Optimus capability for their desktop cards, because few people care about Optimus on desktop cards. And that few people is us. -

@Mr_Western I wasn't talking about mobile chips. -

760 is a Kepler card, and supports Optimus. The 550Ti is Fermi, and supports Optimus as well. Anything Fermi and later will have Optimus support. That's GTS 450 and higher. -
Low FPS on GTX 970 eGPU

Don't use the 970. https://odd-one-out.serek.eu/thunderbolt-2-egpu-setup-using-akitio-thunder2/
