Re: Build your own Gaming Laptop! - DIY eGPU
Thanks! Hoping that this would really pick up the interest of many upgraders/modders here.
I think the only thing preventing a lot of us here is the lack of an eGPU adaptor reseller in the Philippines. Kulitin niyo na si Hotgadgets!

Gawa lang po kayo ng Union Bank EON account. Tapos link niyo yung debit card to a Paypal account.

Re: [TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - ULTRA SETTINGS on a Non-Gaming Lap
Medyo bitin yung nilista mong laptop specs kaya napa-research pa ako.
Acer Aspire 5733 - Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset
Sa Chipset na Series-5, mataas pa rin yung chance na gagana yung eGPU, but only for x1.opt or x2. Gamit pa kasi ng laptop mo ang lumang PCIe 1.0 lanes (2.5GT/s). Sa Series-6 kasi nagsimula yung PCIe 2.0 lanes.
See the eGPU table of Chipset Compatibility. It also shows which kind of GPU is advised for your Chipset (NVIDIA Fermi/Kepler)
Very device specific ang pag setup ng eGPU so don't expect me to be able to guide you 100%. Share ko naman lahat ng alam ko pero may hangganan talaga yan pag ibang device na ang usapan.
Posibleng magkaroon ng problema kung:
Dahil malaki screen mo, suggest ko mag single PCIe 1.0 lane with Optimus compression (x1.opt). Sayang lang kasi mag x2 kasi PCIe 1.0 (2.5GT/s) lang naman lanes mo tapos baka hindi pa gumana yung x2. Higher risk for incompatibility.
Kuha ka ng PE4L 2.1b with PM3N, or PE4C 1.2 para mura, or kuha ka ng EXP GDC v6 para may portablility ka. Ok din yung mga adapter na yan kasi compatible siya for newer systems with PCIe. Kung hindi issue ang pera, ok na rin ang PE4C 2.0 for future-proofing.
Yung medyo sulit na GPU for PCIe 1.0 is a GTX460 or GTX 560Ti. Pag mas mabilis na kasi na GPU, bottlenecked na siya ng PCIe 1.0 lane.
Hindi rin po advisable maglagay ng GTX650Ti/GTX750Ti. May problem siya sa pag boot for systems with >2Gb RAM.
Sa high RAM setup, may nagbabago sa allocated PCI space. Dahil mas malaki ang occupied PCI space ng GTX650/750 kumpara sa ibang GPUs, hindi nagbBoot nang maayos ang laptop mo at nagcCrash, di tulad ng sa ibang GPU. Solution is to use 2Gb RAM only (not ideal for gaming), or do a DSDT override.
Sana po nakatulong.

Posibleng magkaroon ng problema kung:

TS pahelp naman pwede ba itong laptop ko?
Intel HD Graphics 3000 yung gpu ko.
tsaka ano po ang recommended niyo na bibilhin ko if ever na kaya
TIA

binuksan ko laptop ko, wala akong nakitang mPCIe, di ko rin nakita yung wifi card ng laptop. hahaha sayang gusto ko pa naman gawin ito.

Re: [TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - ULTRA SETTINGS on a Non-Gaming Lap
Good News eGPU enthusiasts!
With the announcement of the new Maxwell GPU lineup (Next Gen NVIDIA video cards), we can now have the absolute portable gaming setup!
The GTX880, NVIDIA's top-performing Maxwell GPU will be using a GK204 chip, and will only draw power as much as a GTX680 (195W)
It's great because our eGPU setup using the AC adapter-powered EXP GDC or PE4C 2.x can supply enough power to run it (up to 220W)
This announcement is very timely and lucky for eGPU enthusiasts. I will personally (save up) buy this as soon as it arrives.
My reasons for this purchase are the following:
1. Future proofing my Gaming Rig
Just like a desktop gaming enthusiast, having the most updated graphics card will guarantee you the best performance for games and graphics processing tasks.
Update: SLI (GPUs chain-linked together) was successfully implemented in an eGPU rig! The future looks VERY bright for notebooks.
2. Not powerful enough? Use a new Thunderbolt 2 adapter (or better) for full GPU maximization
One might argue that using the best GPU in an eGPU setup will surely bottleneck in performance thus making the upgrade too expensive or useless. While it's true that the limited bandwidth on a mobile PCIe slot will definitely bottleneck and result to a sub-optimal experience, I personally feel that 50% power of an uber card is still better than 100% power of a so-so midrange card.
The triumph however is reserved for users with Macbooks, and Thunderbolt2 notebooks (TB1 = x2.2, TB2 = x4.2) because having the best GPU here will give you almost 100% performance -- the 20GT/s (16GT/s real time) bandwidth from TB2 almost sees no bottleneck.
For those itching for a GPU upgrade, you can buy the card now as one time investment, and when you finally upgrade to a notebook with larger bandwidth ports (I intend to wait for TB3), just transfer the GPU to a compatible adapter and enjoy.
3. Can be "retired" to a Desktop PC if your notebook is already slowing down
If you feel that your GPU is just too powerful for the power of your notebook, you can always run the option of placing the GPU in a desktop and using it for what it was originally meant for.
4. Very minimalistic setup allows for an easy, portable experience with the best graphics available at that time
Of course the main reason for the purchase will be to maximize the graphics processing power of the most powerful cards in a very compact setup. An 8Gb GDDR5 RAM dedicated for Graphics Processing is surely overkill for now, and can handle the most complex of graphics computations in the years to come.
Hope this helps a lot guys.

Re: [TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - ULTRA SETTINGS on a Non-Gaming Laptop!
Hanggang x2 lang max na kaya ng 1st Gen core chipset mo (2.5GT/s + 2.5GT/s) kaya minimum lang yung magagawang acceleration niya (siguro sagad na si GTX460 or GTX560Ti). Mahirap din ang implementation ng x2 kasi tsambahan lang ang makahanap ng laptop na may dalawang compatible mPCIe ports. Pasenya na kung hindi maganda ang balita.
Kung balak mo man mag-upgrade ng laptop, try mong pumili sa list of well implemented devices o kaya sa listahan ng mga compatible devices.
Marami dun sa listahan ang murang bentahan lang sa TipidPC or Sulit. Hindi kasi nila alam na pwede palang maging Desktop-quality performance ang mga laptop na iyon. hehe.
Actually, medyo matagal na yung mga eGPU. Inantay ko lang maayos ng manufacturer ang bugs at maging stable na yung PE4L adapter nila bago ako bumili noon.
Mas sulit pa nga ngayon bumili ng adapter tulad ng EXP GDC v6 or PE4C 2.x kasi di na kailangan magkabit ng malaking PSU. Kabit mo lang yung bagong (195W) GTX880 sa adapter, tapos isaksak mo yung Dell DA-2 AC Adapter at may eGPU ka na!
Di ko po masisiguro sir. Kadalasan pag hindi Sandy Bridge (i5/i7 2xxx series) o pataas yung chipset, medyo alanganin mag-confirm po.
Check niyo po yung chipset niyo sa website nila kung compatible. Doon banda sa may FIRST STEPS >>> nakalista kung anong implementation pwede.
Sana po nakatulong
Sir, mas tamang itanong kung malaki ba ang magagawa ng eGPU sa laptop specs niyo. Ang sagot po doon, hindi masyado.

Oo nga po. Galing ng nakaimbento ng adapters.

Hay, sana nga po. May balak daw gumawa ng eGPU adapter yung MSI at ASUS kaya baka umabot sa Pilipinas ang eGPU. Kaso di ko lang alam kung natuloy yung project nila. Research research lang muna.

Re: [TUTORIAL] DIY eGPU - ULTRA SETTINGS on a Non-Gaming Laptop!
Mahirap magcommit pero mukhang pwede kasi Series-4 yung processor mo. Problema lang baka hindi sulit kasi hanggang x1.opt or x2 lang abot. Max na yung GTX460 or GTX560ti sa Gen1 na mobile PCIe.
Kung may Express card slot yan sir almost sure na gagana yan. Good luck!
