BigBuddha Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Hey sorry for my bad english and sorry if this question is kinda stupid.. So i have a y500 650m SLI and already flashed the bios. I thought about getting myself a EXP GDC v8 + 220W Dell power brick and a 1050 Ti from Zotac. i googled a bit and found some ppl saying that the y500 model 1(? - i don't know which one i have) only has mPCIE x1 - so whatever it is they say it's kinda slow. So my questions are, do i only have 1x PCIE, how can i find out and to what "powerer degree" of graphics card can i get, that doesnt suffer from power loss then?! Is a 1050Ti ok für that PCIE 1x? i attached a screen of my nvidia inspector window maybe it helps Edited May 31, 2017 by BigBuddha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipol3 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 its quite common that most eGPU is connected to pcie 1x as most laptop that require a performance boost doesn't have any other option left. if anyone can somehow utilize the ultrabay on the y400/y500, it would be a game changer. You will not fully utilize the performance of the card with pcie 1x but you WILL definitely have a significant performance boost over the old graphic. 1050 ti is really good for some online game for sure. Take a look at this thread, the guy uses rx 480 for an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
