robynasi Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Did anyone know if the GTX 650 Ti (GK106) have Optimus feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kattegrus Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Guess I will have to resort to Setup 1.x, @Tech Inferno Fan will you please PM me the details?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Inferno Fan Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Seems like there's a new ThunderBolt solution coming to town, the Silverstone T004: Brilliant. That's the gamchanger hardware at a great pricepoint (~US$250) that will move eGPUs into the mainstream. Moreso when it will use a Thunderbolt 2.0 chip in 2014.Did anyone know if the GTX 650 Ti (GK106) have Optimus feature?Yes, so long as the primary bootup video card is a Intel 4500MHD, HD, HD3000, HD4000 or newer iGPU. Guess I will have to resort to Setup 1.x, @Tech Inferno Fan will you please PM me the details?thxYou need one more post to receive PM. Or else pls send me an email Tech Inferno [email protected] .

robynasi Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yes, so long as the primary bootup video card is a Intel 4500MHD, HD, HD3000, HD4000 or newer iGPU. How can i be sure that the Intel was booted as primary? Where can i check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver160 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 How can i be sure that the Intel was booted as primary? Where can i check?My understanding is that if you have Intel it is the primary GPU on boot up. This is basically how Optimus works.If there is an option to change the default GPU on boot up, it will be in your BIOS options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'll have all components in next hours (today for sure) and will need help because of cofiguration, I need Optimus drivers but which ones (GTX660+the PE4L-EC v2.1) and as I'm a big noob what connectors will I need? ThanksOk guys I've got all components and now I'm facing cruel reality I don't know how to connect all cables. Someone to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics card fans are spinning?The light should be green only (not red), if the fans are running 100% sounding like an aircraft it's something wrong (they should idle).You have two switches on the PE4L: sw1 and sw2, play around with these first. Before switching; disconnect the EC and power off eGPU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've installed desktop driver but on restart, at the windows loading screen there's BSOD and reboots. When I unplug eGPU then hotplug black screen, reboot, win7 loading screen and BSOD on so on and on reboot there is a "tac" sound. (could the BSOD be due to eGPU? Weid thing is after drivers install I can see "GTX 660" in device display)I am looking for Optimus drivers for GTX660 in order to run internal LCD.

Jopale Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey, I've been following this eGPU thing for a while and have decided to pull the trigger on this project: my P4EH is on its way! Found the subject on NBR am then stumbled on here since having read about Nando. Anyway, I'm writing with the hope of getting help, since I'm sure I'll need it, so thank you in advance. Computer Specs: Lenovo T500Screen: 15.4" 1680 x 1050 WSXGA+ LCD (Matte finish)Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.80GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB Cache)Memory: 2GB DDR3 RAMStorage: 160GB HDD (7200rpm)Optical Drive: DVD+/-RWWireless: 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 w/ 256MB or Intel X4500 integrated (hybrid switching)Question1) I am thinking about a GTX 560 Ti, however, I see a lot of GTX 460s being used. Is there a reason why? As of now I am expecting this to be pretty much PnP (with exception of driver installing); not expecting Error 12 or anything. Is/Are there any potential problems that I should know ahead of time before install? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorm Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 hi guys, Im cust curious where is the logic of doing something like that? Gigabyte added a 2xmolex-8pin connector but this connector contains only 6pins! 2 - black, yellow and red. stupidity or I dont understand something?

I almost went crazy before I realized you should play around with SW1/SW2 until your doesn't sound like an aircraft =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjorm Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 GTX 760 should yield a little lower results than GTX 670 (look at mine), my results are due to factory OC and better CPU, so I really don't think your results are very low.You have set maximum performance as power mode in windows I guess?

coyote Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ok I got it working hooray! I installed drivers but the installer didn't prompt for restart, so I just launched Tomb Raider and it worked, at launcher I could choose GTX660. The game is smooth while on Intel HD there were lags and some black area graphics issues. I'll run some benchmark and post. Special thanks to jacobsson who helped me all through this and to all community.I've got another issue when running 3DMark11 I've error messageWorkload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGISwapChain::SetFullscreenState failed:The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLEAny ideas?

rhx123 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I haven't used my eGPU for a while, but when I got it out to use it, it simply did not work.I have tried the card on my desktop and it works fine, and likewise trying another card in the PE4L does not work either.When powering on, the GPU fan reduces in RPM as if it was going to work, however the laptop does not restart at the bios like it used to when it detected the eGPU when it worked.Also, I am unsure of the position of the 1x/other x switch.I cannot find refrence to what the LEDS mean, how would I be able to troubleshoot, and what would be the best position of the PCIE selector switch?Oh, and if it helps the USB port on the PE4L v2.1b works perfectly.

Arise Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi there. On this forum and somewhere else I start seeing ads for some similar DIY eGPU parts from this company: Arstech Installing and use of XPRS-HOST-EC Installing and use of XPRS-PX-X16 And some interesting adapter: It looks like they are using dual SATA cables to stream PCI Express signal. Also I would like to mention, on the bplus website, they started selling the M2MU2 adapter (M.2 (NGFF) to mini PCI-E Adapter). New notebooks like Lenovo Y510 use this new connector instead of mPCIe. M2MU2 (M.2 (NGFF) to mini PCI-E Adapter) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
