Depends though. If you want something that can be beefy like a desktop but still move with you, as well as being cost efficient giving you more room in a budget for better upgrades, then i highgly recommend taking an old laptop and upgrading it. If you want to use a bigger monitor just use a HDMI (If your laptop isnt too old to not have one) I was considering building a PC from scratch but it would have been around £600 and knowing i can upgrade my already good laptop for cheaper and get the same gaming capabilities out of it is a no brainer. Good thing about this is you can easily remove the upgrades to move into a PC build. Easy!

These are sick and work really well, and even come in various varieties including mini PCI-E, M.2, NGFF and Express Slot. However, you can't just expect it to work by shoving any old card into any old slot on any old laptop. Hell, even the type of *monitor* may prevent it from working if it has such tech as Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) or Panel Self Refresh (PSR), and even BIOS settings like Enable Hybrid Graphics. You also may need the software, DIY eGPU Setup 1.35. Do your homework before buying, but it's a sick product for those with a great laptop that's outdated such as a HP ZBook or similar, maybe your parents gave you one, maybe it's your only computer, whatever the case, quad core laptops can game just as well as a full sized desktop with the right know-how, and this route often is *FAR* cheaper than upgrading an MXM-III internal GPU if yours even has one, maybe you have a Quadro like me, but it doesn't matter if you don't have a dGPU at all. This video was awful and half arsed, this product is great for those on a strict gaming budget like high school students, or for those just looking to mess around with something niche.

He basically threw in the towel. It's just not feasible for such a big piece of dedicated hardware to be compatible with a laptop. I still think the eGPU enclosure is a viable solution honestly. My laptop has a RTX 2060 and 32GB ram. It's plenty enough for high/ultra 1080p gaming and 4k/multi monitor productivity. But if I wanted to bump up the muscle to run at a higher resolution, then the eGPU would be the ticket, until I built a proper mini tower. The best part is that since you have to buy the gpu for a gaming rig anyways, that's one less thing you have to worry with.

One thing that is missing on this video, is that the NVMe on the MSI laptop (and the MSI CX62 in my case) don't really work (SATA mode does work though)... However I wanna still try using the wifi port and see. (as I still have an aging laptop from few years ago). Linus ever thought about comming back to this and trying the wifi slot?: Edit, saw the mention of it at the beginning :)

@asmcint 6 жыл бұрын

The problem is, most people who want to run an external graphics card on a laptop on the cheap have a really cheap laptop too. That means no NVMe, and usually the highest-bandwidth port you'll find is USB 3.0. So a solution like this, while fascinating, only serves a very specific niche of people who somehow spent a decent chunk of change without getting a dedicated card internally.

What is the limitation on GPUs that you could use with such an eGPU dock? I imagine its more so bandwidth bottlenecked on the mini-PCIe vs. regular PCIe interface (as mentioned with speed comparison), but with the 16x GPU interface it should be compatible theoretically with most modern GPUs... so at what point would you start to see a trade-off or bottle-necked performance with current GPUs and where which would be a good candidate to try (eg. GTX 1660 OC)?

Hi Linus, thanks for the interesting video, as usual. I don't quite agree though, there is a very interesting market for this: Business laptops. I got myself a Dell Latitude E6530 with a decent I7 3720QM and plenty of RAM for 150 bucks. Professionnal buisness laptops are dead cheap nowadays. All I did was upgrade to a decent Samsung SSD (50$) and this thing crunches numbers like some descent desktop machines. Recently I got myself a beast with a mini PCI-E connection (80$) and a cheap GTX 780Ti (70$!) and am using a PSU I had lying around. For less than 350$ I now have a very capable and still portable laptop to do CAD or play games with. This thing has 3 mini PCI-E connectors from the factory and swapping the DVD drive for an Ebay SSD tray makes it easy to get an HDMI cable to connect the beast without even cutting a single hole in the case + still being able to close it. Maybe this wasn't interesting in april 2018, but you should definitively have another look at laptops with e-gpus today ;)

Yeah this is really intended for older gen laptop which does not have thunderbolt. As exp gdc have few alternatives way to be used, such as the mini Pcie, expresscard and M.2. Most laptop atleast have a wifi card installed on the Pcie slot so you can guarantee it will somewhat work, though you will most likely need ethernet or wifi dongle, I find that it is quite a hassle for newer gen laptop especially with gpu, since you need to “hotswap” the gpu. Still it serve as a good alternative to revive older laptop.

Was literally thinking the same thing. Older laptops are likely to have a NGFF SATA slot and not PCIe. You're actually more likely to succeed with the wifi card slot since it HAS to be PCIe. Edit: Adding on, some BIOS will actually whitelist specific PCI devices too. I have an old Lenovo that I had to have someone patch the BIOS when I wanted to upgrade from an N card to an AC card.

Keep in mind here that linus here is using the M.2 SSD port for the EXP GDC egpu and not the ngff/mini-pcie port that used by the wifi.The exp gdc through the m.2 port is not the common standard while using the exp gdc. Its not recommended. The cable is the most expensive, and the chance of it working is the lowest compared to using the exp gdc through the mini-pcie/ngff slot.

I had great success with the smart card variety on my enterprise laptop while I was scrimping to build my PC. I bought my GPU, PSU, and the beast first; played on that for about 6 mo waiting for a bonus at work, then bought the rest and assembled the system. I was out $80 for the beast at the end, but it was worth it to play Arma 3 and Fall Out in the interm. Would recommend as a temporary solution if you research on the forums first to verify compatibility and get lucky that it will all work.
