EXP GDC 8.0 eGPU | External Laptop GPU DOCK | Hands On Review 

I actually like the fast talking speed, you get to the point quick, I like it!

For the love of God, never give this guy coffee!

I know I'm way late here, but I find the fast talking refreshing. Some people talk sooooo slowwwww. My mind starts to wander, and I just want them to get to the point.

I really appreciate your video style, no wasted time and straight to the info! Thank You, great video!

You forget to mention the Bootleneck :P Some noob gonna put a gtx 1080ti to his Intel pentium 2 notebook and then wonder why he gets only 18-28fps XD

2:23 Incorrect, ExpressCard was used mostly on laptops with WiFi. I assume you mean PCMCIA

Thanks ive had the ext dock for a while, i havent installed it yet on my spare laptop... Question: I noticed my old laptop has a wider PCIE hole and the card shown in your video is the same as mine which seems narrower. Is that standard sized (my eyes decieving me) or do i just have to fit that in the wide hole just the right way? I might get it wrong. Thanks

what was your laptop model plz tell me, my one is lenovo b590 not working why?

Video isn't well done, way too fast, but blame my hot room, it was a furnace at the time of recording

man this channel is underrated.

I love how professional this video looks great work ★

great video thanks been looking to solve this problem for a while

0,75x speed is nicer to view... just saying.

I have the same gdc beast v8 and an nvidia 970 gpu. My laptop is the Acer v3 571G and the gtx 970 shows up on the device manager with no errors after installing drivers. Problem is I am unable to place load on the gpu when using my internal laptop screen. Everything renders with the intel hd4000 even when I force them to use the gtx 970 in the nvidia control panel. I'm planning on getting a monitor sometime nxt month, but for the time being do you have solution for playing games on the internal screen? Thanks for the cool vid.

There are also Mini-PCIe WiFi cards which only use the USB lines of the Mini-PCIe slot. I don't remember an exact model right kow , but they exist. If one has a laptop with two Mini-PCIe slots of which only one has PCIe signals, one may still be able to have built-in WiFi by installing such a card in the second slot. And it would be great if there was a version with a jack which one can install in the laptop's body. With this, the laptop would remain mobile if one disconnects the external GPU.

I use hp pavilion 15n270tx and I try to do an egpu. Did you install a mpcie to laptop and when you boost into window it dont black screen? When I boost into window(plug in psu after power on laptop), my laptop cant detect the egpu.

try your core 2 duo laptop with the pci mini one. ive got a core 2 duo laptop from 2008 with a express card and 2 mini pci spots. i want to see how a similar setup would run before i go thru and buy this product

lol slow down, you seem too buzzed up on caffeine talking lol nice video, has given me ideas

Very informative, thank you :D

Yes when i used expressed card the bios doesn't want to start. So should i but mini Pci cable to give eGPu another shot? any suggestion? my laptop is acer aspire 4730z it has built gpu ati radeon HD 3200

you know if the EXP GPU can use 100% of the power of GPU? Or exists some delay by adapter?

Does this have a gpu performance hit since it's PCI to PCI? The modern day thunderbolt ones drop a lot of frames

Thanks a bunch very descriptive I was thinking of getting one myself but unsure if I need another monitor or just disable the iGPU in the bios I got an old Toshiba Satellite that I would like to use for some medium-high settings games from a few years ago and I picked up a working tested GTX 680 from a a thrift store for 10 dollars should be a fun project

I got Expresscard to work on my T530 (with 3rd gen i7) without too much hassle actually. But the limited Pcie lanes really hampered performance.

Long Live ThinkPads !

you speak much better at 0.75 speed

Is there a difference in performance between the exp gdc and a cheaper 1x to 16x gpu riser?

hi .. is the EXP GDC 8.0 COMPATIBLE ON ALIENWARE M14X-R2 ?

Run A Desktop Graphics Card Externally On Your Laptop Is it any good? Watch the video to find out =p

Y’all..i don’t know i can understand him clearly i don’t know what y’all on

great video just earned a sub. Question would this be a good option for a hp 9480m would the cpu bottleneck its a Intel Core i5-4310U with 8gb ram the graphics card ill use maybe a rx 480.

My laptop have both intel hd graphics and amd readon graphics. So, should i disable readon graphics to work this properly ?? Otherwise no change with mn fps?

i tried this with the Titan Volta now my atom netbook can play crysis at 4k Besides the bottleneck lmao

Its CPU bottleneck , i am going to try it with my I7 6700HQ with gtx1060 (my old gpu is 960m)

dude whats up where's the part 2 trying to see how it works on an i5 not only that but what about the gdc beastv9.0????

Any chance we can pm this reseller?Other than expresscard,pcie and m.2 connectors can they make a usb 3.0/usbc exp gdc?I dont mind if the port is limited to only

speak a little bit slower!

Did you bite your tongue?

May i ask you a question? My Laptop is an Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo pi-2550 and the GPU ATi HD2400 it has damaged and cannot fixed.Can i try this way of replace the GPU with an external to help the laptop work again or i spend lost my time??I asked this cause i see that you do some settings to the laptop before working with external GPU and I have only a Black Screen!Thank you

Will i have compatibility issues with amd cards and expresscard interface? 4:55 Why didn't the card work?

This video would have been on my channel but I don't have enough subs Yes this is my third channel

Hi! Two questions : In this video looks that this solution imply having no more wifi, correct? Is there any way easy to plug it using the Thunderbolt port ?

how do you make it run on your laptop screen ? Thanks

I was waiting to see the test with the NGFF cable and GTX 970. Did you make a video of that?

I did somthing similar with a few projects. 5 scenarios makes this plausible/useful. First a few ASUS and one alienware had hdmi input so you could switch the display over the a hdmi input from the external card. Second being a high performance mpc like the gigabyte brix which both has a spare mpci slot and would require a tv or monitor for normal use anyway. Third is using steam streaming which does not bottleneck the limited lane enough to make it useless. Fourth is of course of your doing video editing in the field, would act the same as a compute unit, they even make hdmi dummy plugs for this purpose. You can use it with software like resolve because they do not have to use the same card to display the workflow as they do for compression/rendering. Fifth would be for cheap or makeshift mining setup.

Was it possible to use it on HP ProBook 4320s? HP laptops have PCI device check included ExpressCard. Did you tried to connect ExpressCard after the BIOS started up?

what happens if you disconnect power source to card, does your lap top revert back to stock graphics? Like if you built a laptop motherboard into a new housing and had this hooked up permanantly. Could you have a power switch to turn it on and off as required?

NEED HELP!!!!!!! I've got myself eGPU setup just like this, just the NGFF version for my DELL Inspiron 5770 laptop that I want to run with Asus GTX 1660 SUPER, but when I boot my laptop the gpu fan turning on for a second then nothing, like its not connected. I am pretty sure its a BIOS problem, but how can I fix it? please help.

Cab talk about the issue with the adapter? My card stopped working midgame and i can't figure out the problem

Will this work on my HP Pavilion m6-1045dx ?? i5 intel, trying to hook up an AMD (xfx) 5600xt, have all necessary attachments psu. Etc. Hooked the cable, uninstalled wifi program and wifi card. Installed new cable in slot and plugged into older style riser (usb) , i got an HDMI to USB for the plug. The laptop screen is inop. Randomly gets picture. But i can do whats needed on my other monitor... ill use external anyways once its done. I tried to change bios settings but it does not have advanced settings... insyde f.12 BIOS. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW :) OR POINT ME TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Can I plug this 32mmm to 54 mm slot??? Will there be any problem not including the loose connection?? I have a dell e6420 and it has 54 mm slot but there are no 54mm expresscard adapters for egpu. Please answer

hey guys, can someone tell me what connection is faster for eGPU? mini pcie or expresscard in practice?

can we just use regular hdmi cable to connect these two since my laptop has hdmi slot or we really need to use the hdmi cable given and need to place it in the slot?

Why can't I use an HDMI extention cable (male-female) to lengthen the short PCI-E cable? I'd like to have this set-up off the desk on the floor...

Hi do you experienced an BSOD it says video tdr failure nvldmkm.sys. any solution?

hey i need advice.. i have HP probook 4420s and im planning on using external gpu.. do i need to upgrade something first to use gtx 1070/1080ti? or i could just use it without upgrading something (i.e cpu, ram, os, etc)..?

I have a toshiba laptop will the adapter work? Also if the one link has a power adapter does that mean I dont need a power supply besides the one that comes with it ?

Hi. My laptop wont detect the gpu. Exp gdc has the green light and gpu fan is spinning but psu fan is not spinning. What does that mean? Your reply is very appreciated. Ty

I need NGFF to HDMI cable, can you exchange with ExpressCard to HDMI cable?

5:35 can u plug the wifi in the other m.2 or it might be turn off in bios

I have one myself with the ExpressCard adapter and it works waaay better in Linux with AMD cards. My T530 has NVIDIA Optimus as well and I don't even have to deactivate it, I just pick which card to render on with XRandR. External monitor is the way to though since transferring the rendered image back to the internal monitor eats almost all of the bandwidth. The setup is fairly easy with some experience if you want to use it as the only card, you generate a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with "Xorg -configure" and just remove the other cards with a text editor like nano.

Would it be possible to hook up an external Express card holder, or pcie to your laptop to bipass having to open it up and disconnect an internal pcie plug.

is it available to put capture card elgato 4k60 pro through this setup? if available, i can put it as my stream rig for my dual pc stream setup...

hi,i have a question:my laptop doesn't have ExpressCard slot, if i buy a USB to ExpressCard Adapter and insert it on my laptop,the ExpressCard version egpu still working?

Im trying to install a radeon rx 580 with the m.2 A.E key but every time the keyboard stops working, any solutions?

If i have internal gpu also, then is the result multiplying between external gpu combine internal gpu ? Or just external gpu the process was counted ?

hai, I interested to try this on mini ITX motherboard, but before that, may I ask you: - can use power without PSU ? (use only old notebook adaptor)?

possible to combine this adapter with a 1 to 4 pci express board for a 4 GPU rig for rendering purposes?. Thanks

I wonder why regular HDMI to HDMI doesn’t work? Cause I won’t have any money left, if I buy a mini power supply, a graphics card, a Mini PCIe to HDMI adapter and the PCIe adapter for the graphics card. And then on top of that a USB WIFi adapter. And isn’t the WiFi card supposed to carry Bluetooth aswell?

I have hp4520s first gen i7 8ram ddr3 and plan to connect with gtx970 through mpcie x16 port to exp gdc beast v8. I hope it will work. I think in the video is the same laptop with i3 but you tried only the expresscard. And there is also some kind of list with best working egpu's for this dock. I dont know if this card is too much for my cpu but will try.

Do you think I could use the EXP GDC with a gaming capture card such as the Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk.2 instead of a GPU?

When ever I switch on/off any appliances in my room my computer get reboot what can I do to resolve this problem

What is the difference between version 8.4 and 8.0? I have a lenovo g480 with an i7 3620qm that exp gdc dock you recommend me to buy? Please, help me, thank you.

i have this egpu setup with expresscard version, but it doesn’t work :(( , my laptop is always lagging and i cant do anything when i put the exprescard in. any help pls sir :(( my laptop is dell latitude E5530

Is there any option to connect the hdmi back to the laptop? Like a hdmi output input converter or something like that.

Hi. Have you found out why the express card didn't work? I don't have any alternative besides using an express card. Thanks.

I have problem with my gdc mini pice express that when I put in my laptop and turn the laptop on the screen flickers and doesn't want to work I hope for a solution

hi can i know how you settle the PCI simple Communications controller ? it cant detect my GPU

Good video. Please make more. I have an Asus n550jv with 12gb ram and i7 4700hq and gt 750m graphics. I have an old gtx 980 from a friend of mine and wanted to get an egpu setup.... do you think it would work? Bought my laptop in early 2014

Is M.2 Port faster a lot than Mini PCIE? Do you have the number, what are the differences?

Hi bro, which modal graphic card work in express dock in laptop only with out external monitor? I want to ply on laptop screen only.

does it neccesery to use external monitor instead of laptop monitor while using egpu with mini pci-e ?

Why can't you use the PCI where the ssd would go and also which GPU should I use with amd ryzen 7 3700u

is there any way to use it instead of wifi card? my laptop has hdmi port(hp probook 450 G5 i5 8th GEN) is there any cable which is contains hdmi cable in both side of this cable, then is there any way to use it just with hdmi port? i mean one side of this cable will connect with eGPU dock and the other side will connect with my laptop hdmi port?? i really wanna make my laptop into a gaming machine

HI, i HAVE A DELL 5559 with 6thgen ci7 16gb ddr3 ram 480 gb ssd 2tb hdd dual graphic card intel hd 502 and amd r335 The problem is both the graphic cards are crap, can i use this method to install a third powerful graphic card?

What it can work on laptop HP pavilion g4 amd a4-3303 with hd radeon graphics?

please help me my card is not detecting and my atx pw is off or on? and what about ptd botton is off or on?

will acer swift 3 be compatible with this dock and gtx 950 and will it require external monitor?.

So are you not able to use an Egpu on the built in display?

I have an alienware m14xr1. it has a i5 2430m 2.4 dual core cpu and a gt555m 3gb gpu. do you think I will get any improvement from this?

this can work with any laptop that has a wireless adaptor, just with some of them (like amd) needs an external monitor

it has seems good performans according to old laptop, but i have one question. I have geforce gtx 1050 2gb and its seen no power connection an extra. Is it run my graphics card with this product

hello, i hope you can help me. I am using Lenovo Ideapad Y700, I am not sure which option (M.2 or NGFF)is right for my laptop, Please answer me if you can. Thanks for reading.

Please let me know if you could find any way to solve the issues with the other laptops.

my laptop hardware info says: PCIe v3.0 x8 (8.0 GT/s) @ x4 (2.5 GT/s) on my amd r5 m330 videcard. i got lenovo ideapad 300. intel core i5 6200u 12GB ram, amd r5 m330. can i use that pcie port instead of wifi pcie slot?

Is there a 2end video also does the express card work or not because In the video it don’t thanks

Do you know what the ATX PW and PTD switches are for?

Do i need to connect a power supply to the dock even when my gpu doesn't require power connectors?

how did u manage the dual screen output using the laptop screen
