Haydenator Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi! I'm new on the forums here and I was wondering if my laptop would be able to run a eGPU?

Yukikaze Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Your laptop has an Expresscard slot, so you should be able to get an eGPU working by using an Expresscard GDC Beast adapter, or an Expresscard BPlus P4EC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, it should work as Lenovo are decent with eGPU success rates. That said, you might need to do software tweaks (such as using Setup 1.30, or doing a DSDT override) to get the device to be functional in windows if you end up with resource allocation problems that prevent it from working. I suggest you look up TOLUD and how to check yours.
