Thanks guys for you help. I will stick with the single egpu and disable the dgpu

Sometimes the DSDT files you get can be horrible. Even if you load it, and save it afterware, it still could have errors in it lol......

Would probably need to fix most of them manually. I don't thing you have to worry about any warnings. Just the errors that it complains about.

Lemme know.

i tried the program directl to get the aml, no luck

i only have one error and i followed the instructions on DIY eGPU experiences - Page 920

no luck! I think im just gonna leave it at that, i guess i wont be able to use 2 nvidia cards simultaneously

Yeah, it's due to the errors you get when trying to compile. Did you attempt to run the error checker/fixer utility? I fought trying to rid of all my errors for days. It can be quite a pain. You could also dig around online for any specific issues after you run the error checker/fixer.

It's been a while, but can you just save to a .aml file with the program directly? Try doing that. If you are on Windows 8, you have to load the DSDT file with Setup 1.x.

Ah i see, but the strange this is that even without modifying anything all the errors are there, surely an untouched version would be exactly the same as the original one (ie. i could load back and it would work)?

i did run the error checker/fixer and clicked on fix errors, but it dint work either. I guess i will have to go through each problem and try and resolve it. Would you say that the warnings are a problem as well?

I dint try saving with the program directly, i will try now and let you know.

thanks

Hi,

I am trying to do the DSDT override on my w530 running on windows 7, and after following everything until step 12, when I restart the computer, I get a BSOD while windows loads. The way i can get windows to boot again is to do a system restore. Is there anything that needs to be done differently or is the W530 incompatible?

thanks

EDIT: could be it be due to an error or warnings I keep getting when i try to compile?

I tried to compile immediately after step 3 and i get the same error/warnings.

One thing that worries me is the Thunderbolt Header on the top of the card that should be connected to an Asus Motherboard.

I'll try to send an e-mail to Asus to ask what the exact function of the header is.

according to ASUS ThunderboltEX II Add-on Thunderbolt 20 Gbps Cards Now Available | techPowerUp,

a special header that's used for timing, and low-level system interface

Were you using the old XBox 360 (175W) adapter, or the newer slim one (135W)?

I used the 203W one....

Furmark crashing indicates you probably have power starvation. Try a higher specced PSU. A GTX560Ti448 is pretty much like a GTX570 which can require up to 298W at full load. You'd need a PSU with a single rail capable of supplying at least 12V/25A to reliably drive it.

WOW! And I thought the max power consumption is the TDP which is 210W and im running the card using an xbox PSU!

Thanks for the quick reply, ill try to get my hands on a PC PSU with that rating and see if furmark runs.

First of all thank you to all you guys for this wonderful project!

I have successfully setup a egpu with my Lenovo X220 (i7, 8GB, 160GB SSD) paired with a GTX 560Ti 448 through a PE4L 2.1b.

The system detects the card just fine, i installed the drivers and everything (even did a 3dmark 11 performance benchmark and got a score of 4525)

Sleeping dogs worked great and all, but when i tried to pay saints row 3, the game always crashes in the flashbang part in the first mission.

Crysis 3 also crashes

Just cause 2 worked just fine for a while until that too crashed.

All of the crashes gave a BSOD with nvlddmkm.sys error.

I also installed furmark and everytime i simply click the button to start a benchmark the computer immediately crashes!

did anyone experience this or by any chance know how to fix it?

thanks very much!
