I can see that you have bought my suggested pcie adapter instead of using that previous janky setup.

"If this adapter doesnt make me the next monarch of Croatia I will be dissapointed" greetings from Croatia

I'm actually impressed that the proprietary bios even allowed a dedicated GPU to work.

If you really want a bottleneck get an ivy bridge thinkpad with an ExpressCard slot. That's 1 lane of PCIe 2.0. Basically USB 3.0 speeds.

All I can say is great call on that adapter. Smart people make our lives so much easier. Thank you smart people.

At times i wonder how you can sleep at night, tortured hardware must be haunting your dreams...

1:18 GT 710 for $9,000 lmao

CS GO uses a lot o bandwidth in the PCI Express, that's why it was struggling

Would be need to see this done with an M.2 slot. That’s x4, and you could even use Gen 4 too

I don’t know what you mean. Surely this mediocre GPU bottlenecked this absolute BEAST of a rig.

Very interesting! Would love to see a follow up investigating how much GPU power it actually makes sense to use in a setup like this. I think you're probably right that GTX 1650/RX 570 would be about right, but would be very interesting to investigate!

Great video, it would have been nice to see the GPU-z screenshot confirming the card is plugged in and running at PCIe 1x Great job!

this is amazing i never thought this would ever happen, very epic thanks for the video Dawid

Other youtubers: its not working there must be a problem Dawid: it actually worked, there must be some problem

Me using this exact setup with my HP all-in-one: :')

Can you test this setup with lower end cards to see at which point (GPU wise) the 1x slot becomes a bottleneck. Thanks! Awesome video!

This is awesome, man! I have the same PC and I will try these upgrades some time.

Recently the YT algorithm presented your videos and your content is unique. This video among the most creative and off-the wall! Keep up the good work. Your recently minted subscriber.

My favorite way to wake up on the way to work, great video as always!

Great video Dawid. What next for the all-in-one I wonder?

What you really should be checking and I'd like to see, is a video where you checkout which graphics card fits best for this adapter. Where you lose out as little as possible on the bandwidth cap.

finally I've been waiting for this video

Looks like dawid has bought everything for mining.. but hasn't figured out its for mining.

"Fart in a bath" probably my new favorite quote. Thank you

The EXP GDC is actually pretty competent. With the correct m.2 adapter you can actually get 4 lanes which really helps. You can power it with the brick power supplies from Dell optiplexes of old and you can use an adapter cable to then power your GPU's connectors from the GDC, and the whole thing powers up and down with your computer.

I did this setup for a 5 year old Dell laptop, and a smartcard pcie to the same type of setup. Had a GTX580 with a i5 2000 something U. This hooked me up until I could afford a new game rig. These adapters are so underrated.

thank you for doing this. ive been wanting a video like this for a while/

Would love to see you try to make that adapter work on a normal desktop tower!! Plug that beast straight into the wifi slot!

Dawid - "At this point I'm still waiting for something to explode." That makes two of us. ^^

Another fun video Dawid doing Dawid stuff lol

I would love to see this with a few step ups in pcie range. 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x

I'd like to get one of these for my laptop, its one of those "pair a decent processor with a mid tier GPU" models.

The most fitting channel name. Couldn't describe it any better.

Great video mate, good listening to us

with that limited bandwidth, you might get very similar performance with something like a 1050 ti, of course depends on the game's bandwidth utilization

Digging the Aqua FPS shirt noice!

As always fun video and I want to say insightful....lol Keep enjoying that All in 1.

I’ve been waiting for this, eGPU

I use a m.2 nvme to pcie 4x adapter and i have like 18% performance drop with my 3060. I think thats actually pretty acceptable when taking in consideration that I mainly use that gpu for tensorflow which only seems to perform around 2% worth than on my friends 16x pcie slot.

I have the ADT-Link version connected to a "DeskMini 110" and it rips... also the connections and setup are much cleaner as you use a dell power brick to run it instead of a whole PSU like that.

I can't believe that actually worked. Incredible!

you're a mad man, and i love it. subd

I use one of these with the expresscard to make my old dell latitude more usable in 3D CAD with a 750ti. Expresscard makes it extremely easy to use, its not quite hotswappable but i never have problems when unplugging it or plugging it back in (i do have to turn the pc off though), it always recognizes the card just fine. And with a lower end gpu the bottleneck isnt as noticeable, just from experience i would say the loss is less than 10%, of course the 750ti is quite a low end card these days but its an incredible upgrade from integrated intel graphics and for something that takes 5 seconds to plug in and one reboot its great.

You can also do the same thing with a laptop that has an ExpressCard slot, same PCIe1x limitation exists though, if you find a computer that used PCIe 4.0 you'd see 2 the performance from just one lane of PCIe, but most if not all of these have switched to M.2 with at least 2 lanes of PCIe(WWAN slots might be 1x but IIRC will only work with WLAN/WWAN) I'm assuming you've already done this, but in case you havent, well, here's a fun project, and can provbably use much of this hardware for another video

This type of setup is a lot faster if you are able to connect the exp gdc beast via m.2 wifi interface. I was able to play GTA V on max 1080p well over 60fps using an rx 5700.

I don't know why but his vids are better than Linus tech tips' vids

Take the plastic cover off the x16 adapter. This allows the card to seat and lets the MOSFETs "breathe". I run 2 adapters like these (that didn't come with that cover) for my Folding @home rig.

This is the only channel I subscribe to that has notifications on.

This is the quality content I expect from you tube! NOW get it running on a Samsung smart fridge!

@Dawid Does Tech Stuff This was my setup when I made the switch from console gaming three years ago, except I was using this adapter on my a laptop with a ROG Strix 1080

With reference to the high GPU usage, it would be interesting to see the power draw on the card.

I actually did this with my xps l502x, I used a msi gtx 950, did not need external 6 pin power so worked out great

this will be the best tech video all TIME!

I am shocked at how easily this went Dawid. SUGGESTION: Next video see how this setup runs when you introduce a small fire.

Max to this adapter I would say is something about 1050 Ti. For a newer hardware with M.2 slot it's also available adapter which give us about 4x PCIE lanes that can make sense.

Love your vids

AWESOME VIDEO 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Had an idea based on the view from 5:12 and checked your other videos. Looks like there was an option (and samsung's support page indicates this as well, AMD Radeon HD 7850M to be exact) for a GPU to be soldered onto the motherboard. So maybe there might be a way of getting something like an PCI-E 8x slot from that bare section of where the GPU was meant to go.

you could do some testing on that and see what graphics card would not be bottlenecked by that adapter

you can also try pluggig adapter into m.2 port for ssd in notebook. ALso big thank you for recording screen on camera, every lag is pronounced so it can be better seen-

You would have better luck using at 1650, with EGPU's having something like the 30xx on a processor like that will hinder you more then help. When it comes to external GPU's Thunderbolt 3/4 are still king in that aspect. I'm doing something similar with a 10900k and getting some amazing performance's. Keep up the awesome show Dawid! I would love to see you and TJ do more content togther... Maybe an EGPU showdown?

Nah you're not corrupt enough to be the monarch of Croatia

This is a BEAST of a video, thanks for doing this its great. Do you think it would work on laptops with HDMI ports?

the bandwidth also gets cut in half because the signal is getting sent back to the internal display, you could definitely get more performance by hooking it up to an external monitor

This was really cool sir!

"Goku slowly charging the spirit bomb. Ready to Launch it at the newest enemy. " The energy this PC gives off with all of its scrotal prowess.

I used to run a Mac Mini on medium playing csgo at 90fps at 900p. The updates have really ranked performance.

I love that you're wearing an AquaFPS shirt!!! He's an underrated streamer!

This is what happens when u spend all Ur pc budget on a scalped rtx 3070 so u can only buy a raspberry pi

All in One maker will now be coming for you since you have shown how to extend the life of all in one.

This video is ligit sick

Damn, I'm late to the party! but- if you ever see this, I'd love to see a pt.3 with either a second fan on the cooler or watercooled (it's opened anyways) also, I'm not sure if i'm right but.. how much bandwidth does a USB 3 port have? there's two of them (unless they share bandwidth)

Damn, I thought the recent eGPU setups from PC World and Jarrod's Tech crippled Ampere's performance. 1x PCIe though...hot damn.

Would be kind of neat to see what graphics card maxes out the pci 1x slot. I'm guessing a very very old card.

I'm curious how older cards would fare in that setup :)

If you lower the monitors resolution or only use the GPU as a rendering device it would probably perform better since yeah, 1x is not doing HDMI and GPU stuff at the same time

My man with Aqua's t-shirt, a man of culture

hey dawid its been a minute hopefully u remember me from the 10k days i think!

So this is genuinely a useful video. I got hold of a old 2011 Sony VPCL2 All in One. It’s great, 1080p display, i7 with 3d and a touchscreen. The big bottleneck is the graphics card: a GT 540M. There is a free mini pcie slot on the board so I wonder if this is something that could be done? Question is what graphics card to get

sorry to say can't see the top of the screen miss the settings % on MSI testing numbers

I have this same exact adapter and also the ExpressCard cable instead

I see that AquaFPS shirt Dawid! Got yourself some cool clothes!

Now try that combination in a proper pc motherboard, I would LOVE to see the comparasion

Next video do the ultimate ram bootle neck I don’t think anyone else has.

Welcome back from vacatiom :)

My son and I used the beast to build him a gaming laptop with a GTX 960 2gb. He’s 6 and he loved taking the old laptop apart and learning what everything does.

I absolutely love this ridiculousness

It would be cool to test this with like a 1050, 1030 or something just to see at what point the interface isn't the bottleneck

you could make another comparison and see, if a lower end polaris/pascal card (rx550 gt1030) also suffers that much on a 1x PCIe interface, or if a card like thhis could use its full potetial. I'd be interested to see that.

you should use a Dell DA-2 power brick , it can deliver up to 250w and terminates to a VGA 8pin connector, I used one for my abomination a while back

I was on such a huge eGPU kick a while ago, never wanted to succumb to using a GDC Beast and ALMOST made a cheaper solution work once...but then i accidentally fried the adapter lol. GDC Beast really does make things easier, thats for sure haha.

try the card in a 1x on a normal MB. performance might be higher there

I want to see what a lower model gpu does with this setup. Could be a wortgwihile upgrade for some people

Dawid simply forgot to equip his Razer™ Xtreme Gaming RGB Bracelet, adds 400 fps guaranteed

You should test it with a gtx 1650 like you suggested m. just to see the difference or maybe like test different GPUs to see where the bottleneck stop like the cpu and gpu are equally being utilized.

I wonder if a gt1030 would work just as well with that adapter?

Aaaaand i wrote that, you should buy that adapter in previous video :P

Yay! The ad where you pronounce Linux wrong is back!

that box branding is like 2 more lines away from sounding like an Andrew WK bit

so now that we're done with this experiment, could you put it back in inventory? thank you
