You will have some data soon... I've ordered my Vidock 4 Plus Overdrive + Evga GTX 660 ti FTW Signature 2 a few days ago, and I will have it soon installed on my Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 10q! Let's see how it works! Sorry if I'm beeing stubborn, but I want to try myself! And of course, I will report my results here. Thank you very much for your advice. P.S.: If I'm not able to play Direcxt 11 games in the way I want (720p, 30 - 60 fps) I'll replace my Qosmio for one of the x1.Opt capable Laptops that Nando recommended.

Thank you very much for your answer, Nando! But I'm sorry to hear that... My intention was keep using my old Qosmio for a while. I love this laptop! I thought that even with the limited bandwidth of an Express Card 1.1, with a Vidock 4 Plus Overdrive combined with a GTX 660 ti I would be able to play demanding Directx 11 games at 1176 x 664 (720p) on my external LED TV with medium to high details while using FXAA and still be able to get 30 - 60 FPS. I don't really need more than that! Are your sure that I will no be able to reach that level with my Toshiba? I know that it's an expensive solution for a sub-optimal performance... But I don't care if I'm still able to keep my actual system. Thank you very much again for your help and this fantastic forum. Everonfan.

Hello everyone! It's my first post here... I would like to know how would it work an eGPU with my laptop... I'm really interested in acquring a Vidock 4 Plus Overdrive for my system. The specifications are as follows: Toshiba Qosmio F50-10Q Intel PM45 Express chipset Nvidia 9700m GTS dGPU Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X9100 processor 4 gb RAM 800 Mhz Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits And of course... An empty Express Card 1.1 slot. With this configuration I'm able to play Directx 9.0c based games pretty good (30 - 60 FPS in Resident Evil 5 maxed out, for example), but it's not working so well for Directx 10 and of course it's also not compatible with Directx 11. And that's pretty annoying for me! My intention is to play on an external Samsung Led 32" at 720p (a native resolution in this LED wich gives a FANTASTIC quality at 1176 x 664... I really don't need more), using FXAA and I would also be very happy if a get around 60 FPS in games like Crysis 2 or Max Payne 3. So these are my questions: 1. What is the best Nvidia card that I can get for my requirements? 2. There is a way of enabling Nvidia Optimus (or a similar driver) for my system? I know that PM45 can be a bit difficult... But I want to be sure. I'm afraid that Express Card x1 would make a huge bottleneck even with modern graphic cards like GTX 600 series. 3. It's necessary to install extra software (appart of Nvidia drivers, of course) on my laptop to make the Vidock 4 Plus Overdrive work? Thank you very much for your help and patience!
