cuethenoise Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the pics of your setup man! That is a ton of help! didjya use dummy dvi? btw, wut is suitable GPU card if only using internal display? No I didn't bother with any dummy stuff. The issue is the display data has to travel back over the mPCIe 1x lane so you loose a lot of performance. I almost wouldn't even recommend you run on the internal display as any card will have about the same hit.

Psyrecx Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) The only thing I don't like about using only an external display is, it doesn't turn off the internal one completely. Edited July 24, 2016 by Psyrecx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hit the Fn and f2 keys to shut the internal monitor off completely. Edited July 24, 2016 by cuethenoise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I had to do to get it to run was disable the main 750m card (I have sli) and install the radeon drivers. My laptop in firestrike by default gets: 3379 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9461124 If I use the interal display (mirroring) I only get: 5308 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9461257 But if only use the external display I get: 8979 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9461317 HUGE improvement in fact it actually beat the card running at 16x with a phenom II 965 (my backup system) 8 979 to 8381 http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/9461317/fs/8949440 mainly due to the higher physics scores (CPU) although the GPU only scored 1000 points less over the mPCIe So you did not download an unlocked bios to get the external gpu to work?

dRoLdDy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just hooked it up. All I had to do to get it to run was disable the main 750m card (I have sli) and install the radeon drivers. How did you disable the main 750m card. I have the same problem. I can't get my eGPU to run properly. Every time I connect it, the laptop boots into black screen and the eGPU fans stop spinning. What should I do? Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyrecx Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I just disabled it through Windows device manager. Both cards start up when booting into Windows, but the 750m disables once the login screen comes up. Though, the 750m will re-enable it's self at some times and just needs disabled again. Keep in mind, I am only using mine via Screen 2 on the external monitor output. If I was mirroring or extending the screen, both screens would show up and wold be still running off the RX 480. Here's how it should boot up with a similar setup to mine:https://youtu.be/nzwTIR5Pd0I Edited August 16, 2016 by Psyrecx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dRoLdDy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This is my setup below: The problem is that the fans on the external GPU stop rotating after windows boots and it's stuck in boot screen. I'm using GTX 960. ALSO, the external screen is simply blank. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dRoLdDy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This is my BIOS setup, maybe I did something wrong. Second scenario is when completely black screen but the fans are spinning and no external screen output. This is frustrating Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dRoLdDy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I tried using the settings you provided but the computer didn't want to boot. It was stuck in a bootloop. Here's the thing: the computer boots into safe more and the eGPU is recognized in the device manager but the computer doesn't want to load in normal boot. And suggestions? Thanks Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk The computer is in safe mode. This is okay but I can't really use it in this mode.

dRoLdDy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Well I had to restore my system to the last point of successful boot. I will try the whole process again but Y500 was cleanly not made to run an external GPU with ease unlike y580 which has no problems Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk You flashed an unlocked bios right?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Your plugging a monitor into the external GPU? The fans on most Nvidia GPUs will turn off at idle. I wouldn't be surprised if it was outputting video only out of the GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
