How to Add a Graphics Card to Your Laptop For CHEAP! 

The bottlenecking probably has more to do with the single channel memory than the Ryzen 5 but I'm really impressed with these setups in general. I've even seen others make it plug n play.

I was legitimately yesterday hoping someone would post a video of this and my favourite youtubers posted it today

Totally agree with other comments, the Single Channel memory is what's being the real bottleneck here, you must have in mind that for the CPU to "distribute" the bandwidth correctly it needs a proper memory channel, I'm sure if you re-run the test and even limit Fortnite to lets say 8gb, it will run much better.

I'd be happy with an actual eGPU, but the cost of the enclosure + graphics cards doesn't feel worth it.

I just love it when I get a notification saying "Someone has liked your comment!" or "Someone subscribed!" It always Makes my day!!

I am actually using this setup right now. Except I have the gpu adapter plugged into my mini pc (9th gen Intel i5, 32 gb ram, Samsung 980 pro 500gb ssd) I have the card plugged into my 75" 4k tv on 1080p resolution, with all settings on high, and i get anywhere from 115 to 145 fps on apex legends. My gpu is a 12gb gtx 2060.

Wouldn't it have been better to crank the settings up a little bit to alleviate the cpu workload?

where is the "how to"?

I actually tried this setup and it's ok . But I ended up just building a gaming pc cuz it felt wierd

I like this idea, I wanted to do an optiplex build because I have a hp pavilion with a ryzen 7 that I bought for school and now that I no longer need it for some reason no one wanted to buy it, it might’ve been my add, I don’t know. But, this way I save my computer from turning into ewaste and save some money in the process.

Thanks bro. But can you disconnect the setup and still make the laptop portable whenever you’re going out?

If u used a version that uses the WiFi adapter slot instead of the m.2 on an older laptop will u be able to get WiFi using a WiFi adapter via usb

great vid i always wanted to know how a setup like this would work out

An old i7 laptop, maybe like a Thinkpad, that has express card is perfect for this. There's a Dell power brick that works with the GPU adapter and there's ones with express card. The ThinkPads also have a dock so you could just drop the laptop in, plug in the express card, and game.

OMFG that is my gpu haha, it actually has really good price to performance at msrp, rn going on average on newegg for around $700 and on ebay around $200+ | Soon im getting a new pc with a 1660 ti and a ryzen 7 2700x with 32gb ram and a b450 tomahawk and 6 fans with the wraith prism rgb cooler which i can sell with cpu and get a r5 5600x with a 240mm aio :)

If you have a really good graphics card, that means you can afford the rest of the setup surely

We need more Laptop that supports "Quick Release" M.2 NVMe slot. So let's say all of NVMe slot are quick release. We can use one of them for eGPU as quickly as possible.

I remember making my own EGPU with random parts and used it on my MacBook pro with TB2 and it was pretty sweet!

late to the party but glad you finally done this 5 years later try to stay with the trend bros

check bios some has a option to enable multi monitor support after enabled you can use both apu and gpu duel monitor

I wouldn’t add anything more than a gtx750ti or a gt1030 to laptop due to the pci-e bottle neck.

Can you use an internal nvidia graphics card externally on a laptop

if that laptop has only 8gb of ram the stuttering would be because of it. Also what do you think is it worth it to buy this kind of egpu thing with intel i7-7500u processor?

Great Content! 👍

That Gengar shirt is fire

would this work with a pci-e m.2 adapter on an older pc with no m.2 or a usb c external ..2 like those external drives ? just wondering if it would be of any use but i'm just curious lol

Great video, very helpful for me. Btw, When did Seth Rogen start making tech videos? 😅

I would be really happy it toasty bros can do the game external gpu setup with gtx 1650 gddr6 without dell power supply with PC power supply maybe 450w or 550w

Please can you put ChromeOS Flex on your worst pc/laptop to see if it is useable

Really like your videos but add more games to the benchmark like RDR2 or AC Valhalla

What’s the cheapest setup that could run ATS, Beamng, & GTA FiveM?

Can you answer this please? Can i connect a 3060 like this to an all in one pc and how?

Y’all don’t miss 💯

max out textures to get full gpu usage

the cpu speed or the cpu it self will slow down when you have intregated gpu and dedicated gpu running both

I hope u guys actually post contents that work. Not always some 300$ build or gimmicky-sh that even shutter on games like fornite

What if you use a m.2 adapter and plug it into that

Can you try with an rtx gpu

Can you do this with a laptop that has a dedicated gpu because my laptop has a pretty low end dedicated graphics card, however it does have an m.2 im pretty sure it has 2, anyways i want to add an rtx card

why not just buy a full on pc at this point?

I really want to do this but what cords do I need and how can I tell if my laptop has the right slot

I have a surface 3 and am looking to increase my frames, do you have any reccomendations?

What keyboard are y’all using?

My mind: why not just sell the laptop to get re rest of the pc instead of impractical stuff like nvme adapters ?

More trouble than any of it is worth. It almost always results in bios incompatibility issues.

did this work? for someone

Whoa is that Seth Rogan

I have homework but this is more important

The thing is, doing this just doesnt make it a laptop it just makes it a desktop replacment

4:00 what is the name of that mouse?

Now do this with an Intel CPU or 4000 , 5000 series . Or an H series

I love y'all guys matt and Jackson coming up with some awesome stuff as always I am trying to upgrade my dell optiplex 3010 dt 3470 I need a PSU for my optiplex any suggestions guys and a gpu thanks god bless 💪🏼🙏🏼

Can acer aspire 5 a514-52g used this kind setup?

is there any solution to do something similar with a mSATA slot?

can egpu improve performance of an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz, 1190 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) and 500 ssd? I am not a techie and I will use the laptop more for adobe products for video editing, lightroom and photoshop

I’m getting a new laptop with r5 and 8gb ram will I be able to run davinci resolve and blender

This is a way to use dual display with a laptop monitor and your monitor

Very interesting... How's the mining performance in this? XD Edit: The cheapest thunderbolt laptop here in my country is $200-250 for eGPU. Wondering if that is better than buying all the necessary accessories to run this said gpu.

Hey bros I have a question. I game on xbox-series-x and some of my friends switched to pc. They asking me to build a pc but I don't have to money to. I do have a acer aspire a51545 laptop I use to edit videos. With a amd Radeon graphics card can I run gta online? I did upgraded to 20 g of ram.

i may do this idk lol.

>graphics card >Cheap Not right now, it isn't.

I didn't know Seth Rogan built computers

Thx

Question, Is it safe to replace a graphics card in your laptop?

Please someone help I am having zotac gt1030 2gb and it doesnt require additional power like 6pin and its power consumption from pcie slot is 30 watt so if i put it in adaptor i think it is given 75w i think so should it blast

Can I use any laptop from very old to new? Will the Intel pentium n3700 support an external GPU?

i thought that was Seth Rogan

can i add it in all in one pc?

yau got a new sub

I was looking for an eGPU for my old Nitro 5, but it doesn't have thunderbolt. ill totally try this once I upgrade GPU on my personal rig

can you try it on a laptop intel i7 11th gen with intel xe but with what are you using with that laptop

Is there a good gpu for an acer aspire r3 131t celeron 3050e

oh oh ok verified youtubers load faster than non verified youtubers Edit from 11 months later: wtf did i say? What does this mean?

My asus q551ln laptop just broke bruh

Your ram is the problem not the CPU. You'd think having a tech channel you would at least understand basic bottlenecks... MAybe YoU SHOulD BrUSh Up BUd..

Keep in mind, the new season of Fortnite just came out and the performance has been terrible even on higher end cards give it a week or two for them to smooth out performance

Seth Rogen, F YEAH!

Should have used thunderbolt with intel cpu lol

Me who is benchmarking a evga gtx 660 2gb

Lol ima add a gpu to my mobile dual core laptop -i7 5500u

"crisis"

I try this thing two months ago and my laptop got burned by the power i give by accident so i lost my laptop 😢😢

Dang man how to

windows logo and P

its all fun and games untill someone puts a 3090 to a laptop

God dam u gotta do all this just to add a graphics card this is to much

is nice to know it can be done, but is a very stupid idea

Just buy xbox series s💁‍♂️👍

U trust reddit???

This would be the most revolutionary laptop gaming tech every if it wasn’t so ugly. Also I’d be worried about watt shortage if you are using something a bit beefier.

nice

May as well just buy a better laptop....

danggg

yessir

Can I get a Hi?????

early?

10th coment

Hey guys ... Thanks for the video ... I'm looking for some information ... I currently do a bit of day trading and I run two trading softwares: 1) TD Ameritrade Thinkorswim and 2) Fidelity Active Trader Pro... Lots of charting, watchlists, and trading forms with data updates on 150 stocks every 5-15 seconds. I'm running an HP Spectre x360-13a and displaying on 4 external 23-inch monitors and the laptop monitor (so 5 in total) using a QGeeM usb-c dock and 2 j5Create dongles. Surprisingly it works! There is a stutter every once in a while ... the biggest challenge is HEAT! Stuff gets hot !! Might there be some kind of eGPU solution that can drive 4-6 monitors that connects back to the PC over usb-c (minimally) and/or a single Thunderbolt? I know very little about the graphics world. I've cobbled something together that has worked for the last year+ .... Most of us don't have gaming stations and not the smarts to open up the laptop case and start looking for thin-line connectors. Most prevalent are a single usb-c port, two if we are lucky, and maybe a thunderbolt if we have spent some extra money. Can the smarter folks in the room come up with a usb-c solutions to drive 4-6 monitors taking the brunt of the work off the laptop into something that can manage heat and performance a bit better?
