[TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - Attach a DESKTOP GPU to your Laptop!

[badbadbad]

Post ko lang po haha gamit ko po Acer Aspire v3-571G

i5-3210M

EXP GDC v8 with GTX 750ti

smooth fps sa gta v, nba 2k17 tsaka csgo

Galing! Pics naman sir.

Galing! Pics naman sir.

boss pwede kaya tong laptop ko na to? di ko pa sya nabubuksan, bagong bili lang kasi di ko sure kung meron mini pcie, pero baka naman. pano ba malalaman yung whitelisted?

asus k556u
cpu: i7-7500u
8gb ram
igpu: intel hd graphics 620
dgpu: gt 930mx

tsaka san kaya makakabili ng case para mag mukha syang razer core kamukha nung post mo dun sa ibaba? antay antay na lang tayo siguro sana may ibang manufacturer na mag release ng kamukha ng sa razer not a heavy gamer naman sa pc, pero gusto ko lang yung idea magkaroon ng egpu,

For portability, I would suggest using the new EXP GDC version 6 adapter. It uses a separate 220W adapter that can power up to a GTX680, GTX760, HD7870, or R9 270X

Sample Portable eGPU (Mini GTX670+EXP GDC V6+Enclosure)

It's very light and compact!


The parts needed will be:

• EXP GDC Adapter V6 with included 220W AC adapter
• Desktop GPU (up to a GTX680, GTX760, HD7870, or R9 270X)
• Laptop

You can also buy an enclosure to make your setup more portable

Happy New Year everyone!

mPCIe = Wifi Card slot (kung may extra slot, most likely pwede si mPCIe)

Kung nagpalit ka ng WiFi card at may error na lumabas, possible na may Whitelisting. Research na lang muna rito.

Yung case na yan, custom 3D printed case. May copy pa ata ako ng .stl niya. Hanapin ko nga lang.

I would recommend to stop asking for compatibility concerns here.
wala namang may absolute list ng lahat ng model ng laptop ever made na compatible sa peripheral and process na ito eh...
you just have to try finding one from google if someone else already tried it or just bite the bullet and try it yourself

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

planning to get this one on ebay, ok ba to?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-PCI-E-...810544?hash=item2ef77009f0:g:SMsAAOSw44BYLCVN

papano ko malalaman kung gagana yung sakin gamit ang internal monitor? sensya na kung madaming tanong, noob lang sa pc eh

 

[NothingInteresting]

Sorry kung natanong na pero hindi ho ba ma-bo-bottleneck yung GPU kung mababa lang yung specification ng CPU?

like I've previously said, kung wala kang mahanap na reference na may nakagawa na ng specific hardware combination mo sa google, then wala kang assurance but to try it yourself

Sorry kung natanong na pero hindi ho ba ma-bo-bottleneck yung GPU kung mababa lang yung specification ng CPU?

the idea of this setup is to increase your old laptop's gaming performance. so what kung may bottle neck? bottom line is: you've increased your computer's usability and gaming capability. most of the time, yung PCIE 1x pa lang ng laptop, bottle neck na eh. but that doesn't mean that it won't boost your computer's gaming performance significantly.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

kasya siguro hnd naman maglalagay ng motherboard gpu lang dimension: 220mm x 129mm x 340mm(W) x (H) x (D) http://www.apextechusa.com/images_u//mi/mi100g.jpg

I have this case bought from lazada. Problem is nasira ko yung Power Supply nya so ang option ko is ilagay yung dell power supply sa loob. Mejo mabigat and walang ventilation kaya mejo mainit ung buong unit. I'll try to find a similar power supply para malagyan ko ng maraming fans sa loob.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

Mga Dre, interested ako regarding this. pero may tanong ako. Wala bang harm ito sa laptop natin?
Second, kahit mababa yung CPU ko kaya bang mag play na kaya ng EGPU? Thanks! Gusto ko mag experiment regarding this

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

^Kelangan mo kalasin laptop mo, that is a harm itself. Tapos Tatanggalin mo rin yung wifi module nya para dun mo saksak yung pcie extension. That's about it.

Since old naman yung laptop ko boss, ok lang sa akin na kalasin to. Ang worry ko lang is, kung supported ba ng CPu ko yung ikakabit kong EGPU?
Kasi Lenovo g455 lang tong model na to, dual core 2.10ghz lang. Kung mag lalagay ako ng high end na GPU, makakaya kaya neto yung mga Laro like Battlefield 4? Thanks sa Reply.
Btw, ito pala yung spec ng lappy ko.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

amf! heto na naman sa paulit ulit na tanong
don't ask for compatibility concerns kasi walang may complete list ng lahat ng laptop ever made and had tested every possible hardware combination for this setup
kung wala kang mahanap sa google na may nakapagpagana na ng same hardware ng sayo, then wala kang choice kundi subukan
bottleneck, syempre meron. you'll be using a PCIE 1x slot instead of a 16x which is typically found on desktop motherboards. this thread is about increasing the functionality of your aged or weak laptop kaya you should expect that.
if you can't find answers sa google or youtube about your config, then you are on uncharted territory and have to explore for yourself.

 

[namaewagio]

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

yun lang talaga eh, wala kang makikitang source ng list of compatible laptops eh. kaya walang assurance kung gagana o hindi. pero for say, 5k+ na setup ng egpu, ok na din siguro mag experiment

mas maganda siguro kung ilagay ni sir ts yan sa 1st post para di mabugnot si sir themonyo sa kakasagot regarding sa compatibility

Hehe sige2 sir. Salamat sa Info. Abang2 nalang ako muna sa future project nyo sa EGPU.

Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU

mga dre, tanong ulit. hehe Kailangan ko paba ng external monitor pag mag egpu ako? or pwede kahit laptop screen ko nalang?
Wala pa akong nahanap sa youtube na same model ng lappy ko pero may pcie slot naman sya ng wifi so i assume pwede sya.
Sorry sa daming tanong, gusto ko kasi mag set up ng egpu. hehe

Basta NVIDIA cards from GTX 4xx pataas sir possible po ang laptop with NVIDIA Optimus pero may performance hit po ang pag gamit ng laptop screen. Anong model po ng laptop nyo?

Hmm nako hindi ako sure sir if possible ang laptop screen sa unit nyo po. AMD po pala ung processor and onboard graphics nyo po. parang kailangan po yata is Intel ung onboard graphics para magwork sya.
Best bet nyo po is gumamit ng external monitor po talaga. Kapag PCIE po yung gagawin nyong route sa egpu need nyo pa po ata iconsider ung mga whitelist ba yun hehe. Yung setup ko sir expresscard and halos plug and play lang po. Lenovo T400 yung ginamit ko po w/Nvidia GTS450.

informative post keep sharing
thanks

I see, na gets ko na. naka integrated pala gpu ng laptop ko. para magamit ko yung monitor ng laptop ko. dapat may dedicated gpu yung laptop ko para magamit ko yung egpu set up. hehe thanks sir. medyo nalinawan ako. sad to say. di pala pwede si lappy ko. hehe
