Hi. I'm new and this thread is the very reason I signed up.
I have a Dell Precision M4800: i7 4810MQ, Firepro M5100, 8Gb, Windows 8.1 64-bit.
eGPU setup: GDC Beast V8 expresscard version, R9 280x Gigabyte Windforce.
I plugged all the needed cables (ATX pin, 4-pin to the V8, 6 and 8-pin to the card) and of course the expresscard to my laptop.
Problem:
- Windows recognized my vga as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".
- When I try to install Crimson 16.3.2 for Radeon, 14.12 Omega, the lap BSODed.
I really hope there's some solution so I can pair the sexy CPU with the feisty GPU.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: YAAAY! I found an installation guide for R9 290 by darky and now my Egpu runs rock solid!
