I couldn't agree more. The maximum cable length for the new product is unacceptable in my opinion. I'm now more interested in EXP GDC V6.0 adapter, as it's cheaper than bplus's one, plus, supports PCI express 3.0 with the speed of gen 2, and maybe even gen 3 if possible.

Did you personally try the EXP GDC? If so, then do you recommend it over Bplus's products?

So, do you recommend this over PE4L V2.1?

There are implementations that are on the first page of this thread. Please take a look. It depends on your budget, but if you want my advice, get yourself a GTX660 or 750 Ti

@Tech Inferno Fan is there any news about PE4C?

Can they make the product Gen3 capable?

So is it the same as PE4H V3.2? and is there any official screenshots for it?

Any words from Bplus about the release date of the next PE4H?

I liked the PE4H because it holds the GPU more than PE4L. To be honest, I am waiting for a PE4H that supports Gen3 capabilities and has socketed mini-hdmi ports, because I didn't like the soldered ones on both Gen2 devices.

It's a great monitor, The price was surprisingly cheap for the specs it has. The case I have is mentioned in the eGPU setup paragraph. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ P.S. I have corrected your name.

Yesterday, I have finally got eGPU working on my new laptop. Benchmarks are on the way. All credits goes to @Tech Inferno Fan for providing the DIY setup and @angerthosenear for the DSDT override.

The BSOD was more frequent than my old Lenovo laptop because I was dealing with a new hardware. I have asked for a help from @Tech Inferno Fan and @angerthosenear about how to do the DSDT override. Thankfully, I ran into angerthosenear's post about simple DSDT override solution that makes iGPU, dGPU, and eGPU work together, and it helped me a lot. I won't forget nando for providing the diy setup. Benchmark: The first benchmark I've tested was 3DMark06. I was surprised with the degraded performance at first because usually with my laptop specs, it should get a score of 21K. Then nando told me that it's the dGPU that's degrading the performance and optimus was not engaged, and the solution was to disable the dGPU through diy setup. I tried testing the benchmark again, and this time with the dGPU disable. The performance was way better than with dGPU enabled. The 3DMark Vantage gain a bit more performance with dGPU (extra 400) more than with no dGPU. The 3DMArk and 3DMark11 weren't affected by this. Overall I was very satisfied with the results. Edit: added X1.2Opt scores. The difference maybe small using benchmarks, but try gaming, and the difference is significant. Almost every game I have runs without lag, and it's smoother than when running at x1.1Opt. Docking and Undocking: The docking and undocking is easy. But before you do one of the options, you need to power on the eGPU while your laptop is booting and the windows dots are merging (in case you haven't disabled the dGPU). If successful and set the external monitor as your main display, you can undock it by going to "safely remove hardware and eject media" icon that's hidden in Windows taskbar, and then select eject video controller. To dock it again, simply connect the eGPU to the laptop. eGPU setup: I'm using PE4C V2.0 that runs NVidia cards at Gen2 speed with expresscard as an attachment. The graphics card used is ASUS Geforce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5. And the setup is powered by Dell 220W power supply. Overall: I am very happy with this setup. It was tough in the beginning, but thanks to this wonderful community, I have gained a lot of experience. If you want to transform your business laptop into a gaming one, come and check this forum, It's totally worth a try. Photos:

I have posted a benchmark, @Tech Inferno Fan. Check them, and you may post them on the implementations table as well.

Looks like I got error 12 about not having enough resources for the eGPU. I have downloaded dsdt editor, but I can't even run it. @Tech Inferno Fan I would like to purchase diy setup from you.

Hi everyone. I would like to tell you that yesterday I bought a new Fujitsu Lifebook AH532. The specs of this laptop is: Model: Fujitsu Lifebook AH532/G21 CPU: Intel core i7-3612QM 2.1GHz, up to 2.9GHz RAM: 6.0 GBs iGPU: Intel HD 4000 dGPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 620M OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits Alright, since it's my first laptop with discrete GPU, I need some of your assistance to make it work with my GTX 660 eGPU.

Just a question, is there any performance increase from ivy bridge to haswell in terms of i7 quad processor?

Has anyone tried eGPU setup on Haswell laptop? And is there any significant increase from ivy bridge?

Well, it's not exactly an APU, but it's a 2008 mobile processor. It's a difficult task without the help of experts like @Tech Inferno Fan and @kizwan. I hope I can do this.

It's been a long time since I made a post in this thread. Anyway, I'm requesting from @Tech Inferno Fan or @kizwan to help me on something. Remember a year back when I asked how to make AMD CPU and AMD eGPU work together? Well I'm bringing this back now. The story is that I'm giving my Lenovo Thinkpad to my brother after I buy Fujitsu Lifebook AH532, and my other brother has Dell Inspiron, the one that's on my signature. Would you help me on this on? I'll be very appreciated.

Has anyone tried using diy egpu on 4th gen intel laptops?

Has anyone tried the egpu setup with haswell laptop using expresscard?

I don't know if this s already posted, but Dell have announced their new Latitude e6540. You will be pleased with its specs: Latitude E6540 Secure Business Laptop Details | Dell And it has expresscard slot.

@nando4 Then what do you suggest? Which laptop do you recommend me getting that does not have TOLUD and PCI-e 2.0 issues?

I would probably go down with Fujitsu AH532. Is it a good laptop to go with? and can I put i7 quad core processor in it?

Hi guys, I am thinking about buying a new and cheap laptop with 3rd gen processor chipset that has a PCI port or expresscard slot. Can anyone tell me which laptop do you recommend me getting?
