So, this would require another adapter with a arduino onboard, right? I'm thinking about putting the GPU and the PSU away from the notebook, in a enclosure/case, and only one cable (like a PCI extender, I dunno) connecting the notebook and the GPU in the enclosure.

I brought my y510p at eBay for 250 dollars. I upgraded the wifi+bt combo, put 1TB Samsung Evo and even 32GB. It's a mobile powerhouse. The only downside it's the dual 750M, they suck hard for gaming nowadays. I can barely stay above 60fps on PUBG at 1366x768 with everything on the lowest possible. Also the SLI inherent problems are a lot of headache. Just plugging in a 1080 To Everytime I'm home would solve 99.999999% of my life problems. If I were to buy a gaming desktop from scratch, I would have to spend $1500 (Mobo, CPU, Ram, Case, SSD, etc) plus the GPU/PSU. With this method I can use my mobile PC as a gaming PC, saving me $1500. The 4770HQ on this machine still have a lot to do for the next years to come.

Im just waiting for the NVIDIA support so I can buy a 1080 Ti to play on my 4k TV. Maybe it could help if we look for help on this matter outside this forums. I will spread the word around, maybe someone can help.

1) So lets wait. 2) Thinking a little bit about the "normal" use of the Ultrabay port (where the GT 750M run games on the native laptop screen), I tought the Ultrabay would have some kind of video signal going back from the GPU, this is why I was under the impression that you could send signal from the eGPU back to the laptop. 3) I thought these other solutions were limited by 1x PCI-E due to the method used (NGFF and mPCIE), and if the data were provided by the Ultrabay they would work with 8x PCI-E. Wait... is this a Ultrabay adaptor that provides BOTH the eGPU access and a SATA 3 port? This is Amazing!

1) Would BIOS mods (like THIS one) allow me to use other GPUs? 2) Could you please elaborate more on this matter, if possible? How could I use both, and what troubles I should face? 3) Although this is kind of a solution, I still need to have the PSU nearby to connect the ATX 24pin to the PCB, but I already own a EXP GDC, that why I asked if it would be possible to have a cable solution. Thank you for your answers.

Hello, I have the Y510P with 2x 750M and no NGFF slot (only the Wifi slot is present), and I have 3 questions. 1) Does Gerald's Ultrabay adapter work with NVIDIA Cards? 2) Is it possible to use the Laptop Display with the external GPU? 3) Is it not better/easier/cheaper to have just a adapter -> cable setup instead of a whole PCB? There are a lot of eGPU adapters out there like the PE4C V3.0 and the EXP GDC that can be found anywhere and in good availability (I have one), and they use a HDMI cable as a medium to connect to the ePCIE slot running at 1x. A cable coming from the Ultrabay port and connecting to these adapters would give 8x instead of 1x. Thanks you. ------------------------------ Edit: Even though I admire Gerald's dedication and effort to provide us this eGPU possibility, I'm not a fan of having the huge GPU this close to the Laptop, where I could hit it and damage it real quick in a gaming section, that and also the fact that my GPU sits on a partial base (and the PCB would be hanging with all the GPU weight on it), is the reason of my question #3. I would love to have a cable/adapter that alows me to use a Geforce 1080 Ti on the Ultrabay Slot, but without having it near the Notebook or hanging. Thank you.
