Yes, I did notice too. It means our egpus finally can become a true competitor to desktops.

Yess! Just when I felt running out of ideas I managed to get it work somehow. So my rig is a 2560p@i7-2760qm and 8GB rams - I am not sure its important or not... I use an oem Sapphire 7970 with pe4l 2.1b. I hade to make dsdt override. Got the table loaded like kizwan showed, so no need to bothering with that more. Needed to have an egpu clean W7 64bit (I just deleted my previous driver tries, so no reinstall needed). Adapter in x2/x4... and in 6,9sec delay switch. (I am not sure I need to plug and power it first, may be a hot plug in setup1x takes it too. I will edit it, if can make more simple.) So let past bios and arrive into setup1x. I tried several forms, but it seems the 32-bitA compression on egpu worked me. When W7 stands up it says no more error on my 7970, and AB says it has a 13.9 catalyst. Its almost the latest. So I don't do anything with that. Run a couple tests, later will add some more: 13.9 Catalyst, 925/1375 : AMD Radeon HD 7970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2760QM Processor,Hewlett-Packard 162B 13.9 Catalyst, 1100/1450 : AMD Radeon HD 7970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2760QM Processor,Hewlett-Packard 162B Sadly AB lets me only push it until 1125 MHz core. It is also voltlocked. But it takes it too. It took me about a half day to make it work, but I was curious about this override stuff. I try to help a lot of people with this egpu stuff in my home country, but could not really say anything personally when it came to this point. Round2: The sapphire vga was bought used, freezed 2 times within a day during normal web surfing, so I decided to give it back. The new candidate - an asus DCII 280X (very serious one, I had same DCII 660Ti, but that looks only a toy compared to this) - has already bought too. First kind surprise, that I did not have to do anything special. Just plug-n-play, the same startup method worked it too. It's core can be clocked up to 1,5GHz in AB, so I might try to sneak to the top of the list. Quick run at 1200/1600: 9909 GPU Score More benches coming soon!

HI guys, Please help me. I want to make a 7970 run with my HP 2560p. First I get error 12, then with 32bit compaction I get error 43. I am on that DSDT override now, but it simply doesn't want to work. I have downloaded many rar's and read through almost every related link here, but yet do not get the hang of it. I have reached to make a dsdt.dsl file, copied the QWORD phase but cant compile it to the needed .asl file. Here is what I get: How could I solve that error?

Nando told you to test out the "mPCIE slot for ssd" with your wifi card. If it is working, then you can use both. If not, then you have to connect the adapter to replace the wifi and have to use an external usb-wifi while using egpu if you need,

Here it is!

Hi guys! Anyone notice the new usb3 adapter on hwtools? It might be a new detachable option for us? Not saying that the upcoming usb standards might surpass the TB bandwith too. So this could be a more future proof setup. What do you think about it?

I think you use an ATX psu. Should check the 12v rails' output. That little titan is a quite hungry beast. It is possible, that simply cant get enough juice under load. Of course there can be plenty of other problem, but try to close out one after the other.

Nando: May I ask you to change the link directing to Hungarian site to THIS? It is original independent topic of this system. The one shown now is used to advertise and sell his own stuff of the creator. Nonetheless he is stating false informations. Edit: Thank you too!

I have a quick question guys! Right now I am using a GTX 660 with a 203W xbox PSU, but prices are started to fall, and the Ti or 670 models become more tempting upgrades. But will they be fine with the xbox psu? I know that their factory tdp limits is beyond, but if I start to OC them, they might kill it. More so I might reach its reasonable limit with the Ti so, there is not even point to use a 670. On the other hand, the real power consumption of this cards are misteries, because the given max TDP is just a factory number, without much explanation. So, what is your opinion? A: Even 670 should be fine with OC? B: I could safely OC only a Ti until the psu's reasonable power limits. C: I should not go over the 660 with this psu. By the way I have not posted my desk and bench yet. Here is a 3DM11 GPU Score: 6262 Tomorrow I am going to take a shot from the desk too.

Sure! Show it please!

How would you make x4 with i-gen chipsets? As far as I read on your guide it is impossible to make x2E on recent intel setups.

Setting the EC to gen1 solved everything. It goes well inside out handsomely. Much thanks for your advise!

Anyone has experience on Latitudes with Ivy? A friend of mine has an E5430 and an older 1.5 PE4L. The first vga he bought was a hd5870. It was good on external, but he wanted to use the internal display. So I advised him to get a Fermi/Kepler. He changed to a gtx 470 now, but nothing works. The external lcd crashes soon after win boot. If using the internal then he is able to recognize the vga, it is shown in the control panel, but the nv CC can not see it. Neither the gpuz. Any advise? The card is good. It was tested in a desktop machine. I think the 1.5 PE4L is also good, since it went with the hd5870 earlier. Is it something he should do with the setup.1x may be?
