Hi can you help me with my problem? Ihave asus g551jw, expgdc v8 mpcie and gtx1070.. i make sure all are connected and lights are all up for the expgdc and gpu. i used ddu to remove my nvidia drivers completely and download the 368.81 from nvidia. now still my laptop cant detect my 1070 ived checked for any unknown device but still nothing.. 

Now i read your reply regarding hotplug? What is it exactly? Thank you in advance

IF your card is not decteded at all, I really don't think it's a problem of disabled hotplug.

First thing I'd do is: download hwinfo and see if you have any valuable informations from it regarding the pcie slot you are connecting the adapter to.

Let's clarify some things, shall we?

• If you're using mPCIe with no Hotplug capability (or not sure): use Nvidia driver version 372.70 or earlier.
• If you're using ExpressCard or mPCIe with Hotplug capability: use Nvidia driver version 375.76 or earlier.
• If you're using Thunderbolt: Use either the Nvidia driver version 372.70 or earlier OR 375.86 or newer.

Unfortunately, for those who are using the GTX 1050 Ti with no mPCIe hotplug capability or ExpressCard slot, you will not be able to use it correctly, the main reason is that the drivers for the GTX 1050 Ti are missing in the driver version 372.70 or earlier.

 

We've concluded that this concerns only the Nvidia Pascal Architecture GPUs, so I personally recommend skipping this one or move to the Red team if eGPU matters to you.

 

At the time of writing this, the latest available driver from nvidia is 375.95 which has completely broken mPCIe/ExpressCard eGPU capability.

This is a VERY valuable piece of information.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I'd like to report my (positive) experience with my egpu setup.

I have an Asus K501UX with ngff mpcie slot, a Gtx 1050 Ti and the gdc beast v8.

I spent an evening fiddling with drivers, then I realized I probably needed HotPlug enabled andafter a couple of days I managed to mod my bios and enable Hotplug. 

The bloody thing was still giving me error 43!! But then I stepped upon this forum and read that I had to use a specific driver version even with Hotplug enabled.

It's working very smooth now, I'm happy with stability and performance. Gpu-z even says me that I'm running at pci 1.3 (1 lane, ver 3.0) and it surprised me a bit, I thought gdc beast supported 1.2 at max. Can I trust gpu-z? It reports 1.1 during idle and 1.3 when I start the render test.

I'm a bit worried for the future drivers, I fear we won't be able to update... but I guess I have to live in the present

Feel free to ask me if you have a similar configuration
