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

[Symptom]

WOw ang ganda nmn neto TS, ngaun ko lang nakita to dahil na din sa alienware amplifier na inilabas kamakailan.

and tanong ko lang TS pwde kaya yong asus k55a ko sa EXP GDC Beast na setup,. may mPCIe nmn sya na slot internally tpos ivy bridge din nmn sya,. pwde kaya TS?

Short answer: Yes, it will most likely work. Please post pics and feedback if ever you implement it.

Though I still cannot guarantee 100% certainty, your laptop specs look eGPU-compatible. Unless your mPCIe slot is whitelisted for a specific device like wifi, the EXP GDC Beast will undoubtedly work for eGPU output.

thanks for the answer TS, i will post it right away if ever i will implement it. However, there are something confuses or im not so sure to do like; How will i know if my mPCIe slot is whitelisted? when u said whitelisted it only run that particular thing (wifi) right? and if it is whitelisted, is there a way to go around with it? i mean like jailbreaking it, i cannot find anything in the net regarding using the mPCIe slot for the setup they all use the express card though, or maybe i just cant locate the right one,

Sorry mga sir, naging busy ako for a while.

Custom Bios Flash can usually help with the whitelist. Pero delikadong magkamali dun.

Sa pagkaalam ko sir, wala pa rin eh. Pero at least nabawasan na yung need for a bulky ATX PSU kasi gumagamit na sila ng Dell DA-2 AC Adapter.

Ang mga HM55 Chipset, pre-Optimus pa yung graphics configuration. Kailangan mo yung pinakahuling driver ng Nvidia na allowed pa yung pre-Optimus settings. Anything later than that, hindi siya gagana. Parang 306.97 yung gumana sa akin dati. Isa pa, kailangan mong i-manual disable yung dGPU ng laptop mo kung mayroon siya. I'd say 20-30% chance to work. PCIe 2.0 ba ang Expresscard slot mo?

At sa experience ko noon, yung 2.53Ghz Core2Duo was slightly bottlenecking a GTX460 (halos same performance sa GTX560Ti)

maraming salamat sa info. t.s

 

[mokoram]

meron na kaya nito binibinta dito sa atin?

 

[badbadbad]

meron na kaya nito binibinta dito sa atin?

Yung adapter yung wala pang nagbebenta sa Pinas. Pero pwede namang gumamit ng ATM/Debit para mag-order online.

 

[mokoram]

ganda nito pag nasa barako, kahit laptop lang pwedi na mag laro ng mga heavy graphics game.. thank you so much sir.. abang abang na lang kung saan port meron nito.

 

[xHinne]

Ok din to kaso pag andito na sa pinas un item. pupunitin ka sa presyo </3

 

[badbadbad]

Wala naman silang tindahan kaya online order + $23 shipping talaga ang sakripisyo mo.

Iilan lang ang gumagawa nitong adapters, kaya kung dumating man 'to sa Pilipinas, local reseller na may patong ang pupunit sa iyo.
Mas mura nang konti sa Amazon ($80 with shipping na). At kung may PSU ka sa bahay, mas mura kung PE4L bilin mo ($69 with shipping na).

 

[phil john]

me gumagawa kaya nito sa pinas??grabe kung mahal aasa lng pala ako

 

[Pnoyarchie]

boss mga magkanu kaya aabutin dito? ung pianaka mura lng ng video card kahit d kaya high settings bsta mka medium settings lng.

Wala akong kilala sir at kung meron mang gagawa ng pasadya, mas mahal siya lalabas. Bili ka na lang ng gaming laptop kung mas mura siya.

boss mga magkanu kaya aabutin dito? ung pianaka mura lng ng video card kahit d kaya high settings bsta mka medium settings lng.

Ano ba specs ng laptop mo sir? Depende sa hardware mo yan, pero baka pwede na sa iyo ang secondhand GTX750Ti (P4500)+PE4C 2.1 (P3000)+Dell DA-2 Adapter(P500) ~ $180 (P8000)

Medium-High na kaya ng GTX750Ti sa modern games. Pero kung mahal pa rin, mag secondhand GTX460 (2.5k) ka na lang para 6k lang all-in. Medium settings yan sa mga bagong games pero kaya ng Ultra sa mga luma. Naka-Max settings ako sa Torchlight 2 gamit ang GTX460 ko dati eh.

Advice ko lang talaga, mag-invest sa eGPU adapter. Ramdam mo talaga ang improvement niya sa laptop mo, lalo na kung gaming/video editing ang habol mo. Matibay naman yung adapter ng Bplus tech at tumatagal. Yung PE4L ko gumagana pa rin since 2012.

As long as may working eGPU adapter ka na, pwede ka nang magpalit/mag-upgrade ng GPU (kapag may budget na). Sulit nang eGPU adapter ang PE4C 2.1 + Dell DA-2 (220W) AC Adapter kasi kaya na niyang ipower ang mga high end graphics cards ngayon. Bumababa na kasi ang power requirements ng mga bagong GPUs (Old-Lowend GTX460=160W, Newer-Lowend GTX750Ti=60W, Newer-Highend GTX970=145W).

Kung sakaling magpapalit ka rin ng laptop, no need to look for built-in graphics card kasi may connector ka naman sa high end desktop GPU mo.

Gets ba?

 

[themonyo]

ayos to ah

this is a great alternative instead of buying a full gaming laptop worth +100k like alienware and the likes... pwede kang bumili na lang ng mga business class laptop with great i7 cpu, ssd or hybrid storage, 8/16gb of RAM na less than 40k lang at saka mo lagyan nito.
geforce 960 or better would be a great price/performance upgrade.
