warevereaper Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sorry, I'm also new about this topic.I have same laptop with buhnanafone.Actually im thinking about buying this new GTX 980 card for my Dell XPS L502x.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NI5DA2E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERand I confused about the 2x6pins, because generally people used vga with 1x6pin.So is this vga are compatible for PE4L 2.1b or PE4H 3.2 (PM3M)?I'm really interested to have this vga for boosting my games in internal LCD.Thanks!

Tech Inferno Fan Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi everyone.Just reviewing the http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/6578-implementations-thunderbolt-expresscard-mpcie-egpus.html#post89707 and seeing there's a need to normalize the shorthand bandwidth designations given to give a cleaner, at-a-glance ranking.This is what we are looking at so far with my suggest naming to16Gbps-TB2 (x4 2.0 Thunderbolt2)10Gbps-TB1 (x4 2.0 - limited downlink to 10Gbps Thunderbolt1)8Gbps-TB1 (x2 2.0 - Thunderbolt1 limited to 8Gbps by x2 2.0 electrical link)4Gbps-EC or 4Gbps-mPCIe (x1 2.0 link)2Gbps-EC or 2Gbps mPCIe (x1 1.1 link)** Add a "C" on the end of 4Gbps/2Gbps to signify NVidia x1 pci-e compression, eg:4Gbps.C-EC2Gbps.C-ECPreviously we referred to x1.2Opt, 1.1Opt, etc. Those are 5Gbps/2.5Gbps links with PCIe compression on. After the 8B/10B encoding encoding overhead those links drop down to 4Gbps/2Gbps. Anybody want to weigh on any better shorthand designation for the bandwidths we are dealing with?

Will a gtx 760 or gtx 660 be a bottleneck for my system?? the 660 should be fine right? thanks in advanced Hi want try to contribute with my understanding of the eGPU, since I have been researching for that and will build my first next week. Most important bottleneck it's the available bandwidth between your laptop and the external GPU, dependent from the kind of interface you can use: ExpressCard, miniPCIe or Thunderbolt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useafo Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I was thinking. I wasn't able to achieve Gen2 speed with my eGPU, maybe because of the latest graphics driver? But it worked with GTX550 Ti, so the problem is from bandwidth? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima90210 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hello! Forgive me for my bad English. I use the mac mini 2012 + exp gdc v6 + sonnet echo expresscard + gtx660. Followed your instructions - everything is working, but do not increase the load GPU fan speed. How can I fix it in OS X? what program I can see the temperature of the GPU?

hbomb2k Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13 inch hooked up to a Akitio Thunder2 box with a Gigabyte GTX 770. It has a normal bootcamp install and I am using a powered riser to accommodate the lack in slot power. I turn on the PSU and box at the same exact time and then try to boot-up and every time without fail i get a blank display internally and externally. Does anyone know what is going wrong?UPDATE: Got it to work on an external display but i still can't seem to get optimus to activate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobsson Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi guys. Just wanted to share some performance info from my newly arrived Zotac GTX 970. 3DMARK06: GPU: 21049 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3740QM Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G46VW 3DMARK11: GPU: 10980 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3740QM Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G46VW 3DMARK Vant: crashed right in the beginning of CPU test 2 (which seems to be a bug), anyone familiar with this please help me! 3DMARK13: 'hard crashes' right after the wing suit demo (she enters the cave), right now I'm investigating if my DA-2 (custom cabling) is to weak on some 12V rail since it indicates on overload. I did measure up to 175W (!!!) in 3DMARK13, which makes me think all this "146W TDP talk" is waaay off. Ran Borderlands 2 for ~20min for a test: 1080P, Physx = High, no significant slow downs / fps drops! This game has been unplayable with my GTX 670 with Physx above low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
