@@ClayWheeler I understand your situation... Here in Brazil everything is too overpriced... Do to Covid and the fu**ing bad governation of our president Bolsonaro.

@@ClayWheeler And just for your knowledge, I did eGPU and everything is working fine. Mine is 2017 Dell Inspiron 14 7460, core i5 7200u with dGPU 940MX. My eGPU is a GTX 960 2gb with NGFF EXP GDC 8.5c . Everything is running so much better after I did this eGPU. I just needed to DISABLE the 940mx on Device Manager. Cause If I uninstall the drivers, the Windows automatically detects the dGPU, enables It and turns It the "master" GPU again. So I need to disable and then install the GTX 960 newer drivers. Everythin is working fine. The only problem is th 2gb VRAM of my 960... Some games like Assassins Creed or Cyberpunk 2077 needs at least 3gb... That's why I'm thinking to upgrade the eGPU for gtx 970 (even If it is too powerful for my CPU) or gtx 1060 3gb. I dont know If will be a good trade change the 960 2gb for the 960 4gb... What do you think? Anyway, today a friend with 1060 6gb will bring his gpu to me, for a test... But I think the 970 will garantee a good compatibility

@@mauriciocajazeira228 heyy there man, i know it's been a while after you post this comment 😅 I'm planning to use EXP GDC V8.5 or 8.4 too. On your comment, said that you need to disable the 940mx driver right? So, if you install your GTX960 with the 940mx's driver disabled, does that mean that you're overwriting 940mx driver with your gtx960? What if you need to go portable (unplugs all of the cables and back to original state again), does the 940mx still works normally? Does the GTX 960 driver support the 940MX driver too so you wont have to reinstall the 940mx driver again? I really appriciate your future replies, Thanks in advance btw🙏

Well, this video is talking about Old Laptops. Vega 8 isn't particularly Old. The other proof is that Asus ROG Flow X13 using the same Driver for both GTX 1650 and eGPU RTX 3080.

Just read the Pinned comment of this video. And I bought this from AliExpress.

Not everyone even thinking about adding external GPU for Laptop back then. Let alone utilizing ExpressCard slot itself. No official ExpressCard external GPU dock ever existed. Beast EXP GDC is unofficial device made by a small company somewhere in Chína, yet they still managed to supply the demand in online shopping like AliExpress. However I still prefer the NGFF or M.2 NVMe eGPU. It's crazy faster than ExpressCard

@@ClayWheeler I'm just glad my new laptop has a gtx 1650 built in so i don't need to think about adding one 😂

@@ClayWheeler Yeah but then i couldn't use my Intel 665p 1TB

@Dhfa 10 I mean it's pretty clear, were talking about adding external GPUs to laptops.

@@ClayWheeler thank you, okay I'll check it out

You can use a usb network adapter

Well, when I tell in the Video by "Up To" it means all GPU Cards model of that current Gen and all Previous Generations of GPUs. With EXP GDC V8.5c you can still use GTX 980 for sure.

What is the Laptop model name? And by the way, Actually you can still use the same NVidia card even if your Laptop already have NVidia dGPU like GT 620m. You need to Clean Uninstall of NVidia GT 620M and then Completely Disable it from Device Manager. And then you can use NVidia GTX 1650. If you're using Radeon RX 560 you will need special PSU because RX 560 don't have PCIe power connector. The PSU you need is "Dell DA 220 Watt Brick PSU" usually only cost $20. Here's the example of using Special PSU for RX 560 equivalent kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9hdaK11rrqolGw.html

I also have a newer video, about the Game that is a little bit more demanding than this video.

@@louvainmontalbo7831 I will dig into that Laptop model right now

With mPCIe version? Try to unplug the eGPU mPCIe-HDMI cable from the dock, but let the mPCIe stay connected to the Laptop. And then just boot. If the boot is successful, try to uninstall the AMD Radeon HD 7650M using DDU Display Driver Uninstaller. And then restart, go to BIOS. Check for something similar to this video about booting from network adapter boot. After that, replug the HDMI to eGPU dock. Try to boot again. If it fails, you might have accidentally flipped the Physical switch (or maybe the seller has toggled the switch) on the eGPU dock. If it hard to reach, use needle to move the switch

That Laptop almost the same to my Laptop. But I don't recommend to use it with Lumion. Lumion needs at least 4 Cores 4 Threads 4 Logical CPU. Any CPU below that is not recommended. So instead of Core i5 2430M with 2 Cores 4 Threads 4 Logical CPU, you need to upgrade to Core i7 3630QM, which is 4 Cores 8 Threads 8 Logical CPU. Lumion needs high CPU instead of GPU. As for the GPU, anything is possible. At that point I recommend building a cheap Desktop PC instead of using Laptop with External GPU like this.

well i have bought exp gdc for external graphics & got scam fake vga gtx730 from alixpress vga not detected damnn....not working hopefully if i got msi/genuine one will work..

if the Software Can use more GPU instead of CPU, it can. For example, Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 can use 100% GPU and only use 15% CPU

Actually yes, you will encounter Driver Conflict. But if you have no other choice, you must use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and force uninstall everything related to GT740M. However it's also a good idea to update the IntelHD driver to the latest version possible. So when you unplug GTX 1070, the Laptop still able to run using just IntelHD Graphics. What's your Laptop model btw?

As for the OS, you have 2 choices. Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate or, Windows 10 V1903 or newer. Don't use Windows 8 or 8.1 or 11.

Oh, before you uninstall the GT740M Driver, you must take a note of where is GT740M located in Device Manager. Because after uninstalling GT740M driver, you must disable the PCIe controller that is responsible for GT740M. Because most Laptops that use NVidia GT-M GPU have at least 2 different PCIe controller in Device Manager. You must disable the internal PCIe controller for GT740M. Because if you don't disable the PCIe controller for GT740M, when you plug the GTX 1070, and attempting to install driver for GTX 1070, it will still be detected for GT740M. -Unless you're using Radeon RX for eGPU, then no need to uninstall anything.

Depending on model. mPCIe Connector carry PCIe Gen1 x1 Lane Express Card carry PCIe Gen2 x1 Lane NGFF Connector carry PCIe Gen3 x1 Lane M.2 NVMe carry PCIe Gen3 x2 or x4 Lane (auto switch to Laptop's chipset itself)

​@@ClayWheeler Perfect, here is my problem. lets assume we are using NGFF 8 Gbps, as you know the cabel which has two connectors HDMI and NGFF connected to the eGPU and motherboard, HDMI 2.5 Gbps and NGFF 8 Gbps, so how the HDMI will not bottleneckthe 8 Gb ? and if so what is the benift of design HDMI? and the 2nd thing is the 2nd output HDMI to the monitor which you said also 2.5, So what is the benfit of 8 Gb of 1 lane if the output to the monitor is only 2.5 G ? thanks again I wish you explain this to me.

@@divinxoii the HDMI is NOT doing anything related to HDMI display signal Wiring Diagram. It literally just Physical BUS Connector of PCIe signal. HDMI Wiring Diagram apparently can carry 16 Gbps at max. Hence why you see v9.0 or v9.5 has double HDMI. Another product you may want to check it out JHH-Link which kinda looks like EXP GDC v9.5 but more neat and can handle 32 Gbps with same Dual HDMI connector

​@@ClayWheeler Thank you so much for sharing your deep knowledge.

Core i5 540m that sounds like from 2010. Beast EXP GDC v8.0 is more than enough for you. Anyway it must be using mPCIe type for the WiFi slot. What version of Windows is it currently? Windows 7 or 10? Anyway for the Graphics Card you can use any NVidia that is NOT xx50 series. Because xx50 often don't have PCIe power connector. For example GTX 750, 750 Ti, 950, 950 Ti, 1050, 1050 Ti. That means GTX 760, 960, 1060 or higher is okay.

@@ClayWheeler im using now windows 10 ok maybe gtx 1050 is good? Or gtx 760?

@@yumatv. GTX 1050 don't have PCIe power connector. So it is not recommended. Also, if you're using Windows 10, make sure it is Version 1903 or newer. On your keyboard, press Start+R and then type Winver and then press enter. With the current condition of the Market, any GPU you can get should be good. Like GTX 760, 770. Or GTX 960, 970, or GTX 1060 6GB. Your Laptop is 11 years old at this point, so Bottleneck is very Heavy.

@@ClayWheeler ok thank you bro for advice

it sounds like your Laptop is from early 2017? There's a Hit or Miss situation inside your Laptop's motherboard. First of all, does it have 2 M.2 NVMe Slots? And yes, must be M.2 NVMe and not M.2 SATA. Because most Laptop from that year only have 1 M.2 NVMe SSD Slot. I was wondering if it's possible to use EXP GDC NVMe V9.0b for your Laptop. Therefore you must open it by yourself to confirm. However that Laptop might have NGFF Type WiFi Adapter. The difference between NVMe vs NGFF WiFi slot is about 32 Gbps vs 8 Gbps. For the NGFF EXP GDC Demonstration, read the Pinned Comment of this video. For the NVMe slot External GPU, This is the demonstration where you Plug it into the NVMe SSD slot kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZuJrJtkq6nFYJ8.html For a little more Tidy setup with NVMe slot, you can try to use these. Read his Video Description kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9Kblc171sfUpWw.html

Technically it depends on the game. Is the game more CPU intensive or GPU intensive or both? CSGO should work just fine, but PUBG will suffer frame-drop a lot. GTAV is kinda balanced but still Bottlenecked by the CPU Because 2 Cores 4 Threads. Check out the Pinned comment Because most benchmark are there. Including mPCIe version.

Most likely your info is about the laptop's GPU , not the external one since you use an external power supply that can't be read by your laptop's sensors.

HDMI dummy will create extreme Bottleneck because the cable isn't supposed to be Two-Way . Unless the Laptop support HDMI input.

Good question. Step 1. You may need to change the Power Plan solution from Control Panel. It is either Power Saving, Balanced, or High Performance mode. Change it to High Performance mode. Step 2. Go to Device Manager, Scroll down to "System", expand it, scroll down to "High Precision Event Timer" right click on it, and Disable. Step 3. After doing step 1&2 Shutdown the Laptop, make sure the eGPU cable inserted properly. And plug the USB pendrive or Audio jack before turning On the Laptop. Step 4. After turning On the Laptop, try to safely remove hardware of that USB pendrive, and then, put it back in. Try to see what happens. When you're on High Performance Mode, try to Plug the Laptop charger.

Note: if the problem still the same, it is very likely the DRIED Up Thermal Paste. I have to admit that my Laptop in this video has never been reapplied the Thermal Paste for 8 years. I only added the Thermal Paste when waiting ordering the eGPU Online. But I didn't put it in this video.

Wait really? Are you sure it is using Mini PCIe version? As far as I know Intel Core i5 from 2015 with IntelHD 5500 is using NGFF WiFi socket. I could be wrong. But anyway more or less yeah you can use EXP GDC eGPU with any GPU be it NVidia or AMD RX is fine. That's why I tell anyone who watch this video to Open Your Laptop before deciding to buy eGPU.

@@ClayWheeler Oh right, I'll definitely open my laptop to double check, thanks. But yeah, assuming it is using Mini PCIe, I'm talking about using a PCIe capture card with the EXP GDC, not a GPU. Could you perhaps answer on that? :)

@@horgoththerelentless261 the capture card in my mind is using the portable one. For one reason: you are using an Old Laptop. The possible Capture Card is from GPU card HDMI output to the Capture Card Passthru. So the scenario look like this: Laptop->eGPU->GPU->Capture Card->Hard Drive & External Monitor. The Hard Drive here is HDD External with USB 3.0 to write the captured video. Elgato Capture Card that you mentioned is using PCIe lanes on Desktop Motherboard to capture visual activity. You need another type of Capture Card. I will do a quick search for this kind of Capture Card

@@horgoththerelentless261 the Keywords search for this kind of Capture Card is: Capture Card Passthrough for Laptop. Not sure if Elgato have this version or not

@@ClayWheeler I'm not sure what you all meant but at least I'm aware that Elgato mentions PCIe lanes directly on the Desktop Motherboard, however it's already been shown to work on external PCIe slots as well (though these are Thunderbolt eGPU enclosures): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6mYddJnmrqxqmQ.html Only thing is, my laptop has no Thunderbolt port and I also don't find those enclosures' pricetags worth it. Also I have no interest in buying a dedicated external capture card from Elgato or any other company, I'm specifically interested in the 4K60 Pro Mk.2 for its multifeed feature (i.e. it automatically records and stores a copy of your game capture on your pc's HDD while you're streaming).

Yeah, it's in another video. Online game, Multiplayer as well

None of it will work. Because for heavy Games that is dependant on CPU, you will need at least 4 Cores 8 Threads CPU. The only Old Laptop CPU that is suitable for those Games is Core i7 xxxx QM or Core i7 xxxx MQ. Core i7 with 2 Cores 4 Threads or 4 Cores 4 Threads still cannot play those Games you mentioned. Even if you're using RTX 2080 ti. You need a Laptop with Core i7 2670QM (year 2012) or Core i7 3610QM (year 2013) or Core i7 4700MQ (year 2014) Any Laptop CPU that is Lower than QM or MQ cannot play those games, even with RTX 2080 ti, you will struggle to get 20 FPS.

Only Valorant and CS GO can work with Lower CPU like Core i3 and i5.

If the Video Games is Dependant on GPU, it is more smooth. Like Rocket League, MiHoYo games, and a lot of Racing titles are usually GPU dependant instead of CPU.

@@ClayWheelerToo bad I have core i7 4500 U Guess I can't play the games I wanted to play then haha anyways thank you so much for being so informative and also being able to reply to my inquiry. +sub+ to you and I hope you well.

@@thethirdvlog6552 just play Video Games that is not CPU intensive. Like Resident Evil remake 2&3, Devil May Cry 5, (Most Capcom games are GPU dependant, so Core i7 4500U is more than enough to play even new Titles from Capcom) All Assassin's Creed games 'Before' Odyssey, Origin, and Valhalla can be played smoothly on Core i7 4500U using eGPU.

@@anonimity2562 and don't worry I will immediately delete your comment after you reply your email address

There are several points to pay attention here First, Core i5 5200U might be using NGFF WiFi slot. So you need to get EXP GDC NGFF. Example of assembly here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prGmZ5Zn2LXWfqM.html Secondly, 750ti or 1050ti is a 75 Watt GPU category. You need different approach to feed Power to the eGPU board because the White Cable Adapter that Bridge from PSU to eGPU Actually doesn't give a stable 75 Watt. Check my Latest eGPU Troubleshooting video regarding this one.

More likely the Laptop itself rather than Graphics Card. Check out pinned comment for range of Compatible Graphics Card, even RTX 3070 is possible. But if the Laptop has poor compatibility or a driver that's no longer updated by the company itself, then the Graphics Card might not be detected at all.

During Gaming, I suggest setting up the Power config to "High Performance" this will surely eats battery faster. However this is 8 years old battery. The maximum discharge of this Laptop in my video is just 45 minutes for watching videos or 1.5 hour Typing documents in MsWord. I could easily buy a new battery which is just $5 here from HP service center.

That's why I always plug the battery to AC Charger.

You need PCIe Allocation. First, you need to disconnect your eGPU. Just unplug the eGPU HDMI cable is enough. Now Boot your Laptop normally. Open Device Manager. Since you said you had NVidia GT 635M, it must be listed as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" alongside with IntelHD in Display Adapter section? Now, on the top menu from Device Manager, Click on View - Devices by Connection. Now Try to Expand every PCI Devices, scroll down until you find that "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" . Once you find that Root PCI location of the GT 635M, Right Click on that PCI root of the GT 635M, and then Disable it. Now Shutdown the Laptop. Use eGPU again. One question, is your GTX 1050 ti has additional PCIe power connector? If it doesn't have PCIe power connector, it must be a 75 Watt GPU category. You will need a different way to connect the PSU to the eGPU. I have another video of it.

How many NVMe SSD slot does it have on the Motherboard? I cannot give you any recommendations before you know the inside of your Laptop. Try to search Video about your Laptop model Disassembly

Actually you can, all Laptops can. First of all, you will be limited with 2 Options for External GPU. WiFi slot OR M.2 NVMe slot. The First Option is by WiFi slot, which without a doubt, you have NGFF slot. With NGFF you have 8Gbps Bandwidth (while this video is just 2.5Gbps) So you can use EXP GDC NGFF. Second Option is M.2 NVMe. To make sure about this, please open your Laptop manually, and check if the Motherboard have Two M.2 NVMe slots and make sure it is written "NVMe" or "PCIe" on its PCB board near the M.2 slot. If it says "M.2" or "SSD" then you cannot use eGPU with this slot. If it says "NVMe" or "PCIe" then you can use that slot for eGPU. So you can buy EXP GDC V9.0b NVMe. Search keywords on AliExpress is "Beast EXP GDC"

With M.2 NVMe, you can have 16Gbps bandwidth if it is X2 Lanes, OR 32Gbps bandwidth if it is X4 Lanes.

Just open it up and check the slot type of the wifi card. Also I would suggest to instead get a rx 500 series because unlike the gt 1030 they will be supported by the new amd FSR technology. You can get a rx 560 for about 140$ right now on Ebay.
