Psyrecx Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I would buy one of these adapters at the drop of a hat the second I can verify it would work on a Y500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get the full performance of modern GPUs with a PCIe x1 connection. Great, I put in an order One more question: is it still only AMD cards that are compatible ? Will NVIDIA cards EVER be ?

I was wondering what the pro/cons were for buying this versus https://www.banggood.com/Mini-PCI-E-Version-V8_0-EXP-GDC-Beast-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-p-1011222.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_campaign=lowspecgamer&utm_content=lailixian Thanks! If I'm not mistaken, your best bet would be to get the one with NGFF M.2 to achieve PCIe x4 connection/transfer data rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this ultrabay mod allows you more performance than all the egu models that are on the market.

Thanks for the information because I wasn't sure about that. The Ultrabay is the definite way to go, no doubt on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I want to buy the adaptor. I live in Poland so maybe we can find some international shopping company. How much you want for it? And also which country do you live? (to check how much would be the shipping) Send me a pm. Also delete your messages as I'm not able to pm you. Thank you, Olivian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWichni Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yesterday I received my adapter, plugged it in without any card and got message about unauthorized card etc. I changed 1k resistor with 10k one mentioned on previous page and it started with the adapter plugged in (still without card) without any problem at all.

This is an 'old' one, is it? @ Gerald - out of curiosity, will the new cards have the 10k resistor? I've already 'downgraded' the BIOS, but, if possible, I'd like the option of going back to a more recent version. :-) Many thanks in advance!

Marvin Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Guys I read along and decided to try this out myself. Just bought a 510p joined the doodle and processed the PayPal-payment. I also want to try the adaptor out with a Vega 56 or 580 card. Am curious about the Results! If anyone has some experience with the vega cards, I would be glad to hear about them here!

Might take a few weeks, but I'll let you guys know how I've fared once I've bought and installed the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
