  1. I can confirm. EXP GDC made a new eGPU adapter that 2x or 4x the bandwidth of what they offers. It uses two HDMIs to conduct data transfer and uses M.2 M key to do the magic as it offers up to PCI-e x4. So all new generation Intel Wifi solution that uses M.2 M key should be able to use this new version to use eGPU. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3-c.w4002-3151074376.44.laZrBz&id=529434284683 (Not available in America) Feed back on the page suggests it support Gigabyte BRIX, Intel NUCs, Clevo P770DM and more.

  7. Here is my review of the product. It's bottleneck your graphic card very badly. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/315738-exp-gdc-external-pci-e-x16-adapter-for-laptops/#entry4290801
  8. I was looking for a mobile solution to take a graphic card plus a computer to my high school business department to push 6 1080p monitors for a game of League of Legends The new MSI GS30 Shadow and Alienware Graphic Amplifier is too expensive. So I dig around in Google for other solution. Then I found a company in China on taobao.com that sales a product called EXP GDC. It allows laptops with an expresscard slot, Mini-PCI-E, NGFF or mini PC with PCI-E x1 slot to accept a PCI-E x16 Graphics card externally. http://expgdc.taobao.com/index.htm?spm=a1z10.3-c.w5002-7098247987.2.t4LISj Since I have a Lenovo ThinkPad x201 with an ExpressCard Slot I immediately purchased it. The EXP GDC Beast v6.1 unit plus silver case and an extra PSU plug converter costs me 488 RMB, about 70USD. The package arrived yesterday and I began assembly. The Unit itself installed inside the silver case. From left to right HDMI port for the ExpressCard or other data transfer, an extra USB port for you to plug in stuff, DC-in for laptop adapters, Power Supply input, and power output for the 6+8 Pin graphics card. ExpressCard to plug into the slot on Laptop. Hex screwdriver and its special screws to install the unit into the silver box. ATX power supply to that specialized 8-pin power input. The adapter for the 6-pin output to a 6+8 pin for Graphics card The second-hand Dell ~200W Power Supply it came with. All Chinese User Manual. It also talks about HP and Apple devices requires to turn on something on the unit switch. The sliver box after it was closed. The GTX 275 installed into the system. Before plug in preparations. 1. Uninstall all Graphic driver on your laptop to prevent BSOD. 2. Plug in the Power supply, HDMI-->ExpressCard and Graphics Card display to a monitor. Then I am good to turn on the whole system. The system ended up like this. Performance League of Legends Max Setting ~60FPS Temperatures around ~70C when running League of Legends Major Drawbacks - bandwidth: According to GPU-Z and Nvidia driver. The card is only running at PCI-E 1.1 x1. 3D Mark Vantage score on this set up compare to Toms hardware result. A 56% performance hit compare to a GTX 275 in a desktop gaming rig. Conclusion: Pros: Inexpensive Wide compatibility Cons: Bandwidth Requires Drivers uninstalled/Reboot to switch Requires a monitor Laptop screen becomes useless in graphic card mode. Who will benefit from this product? College student who needs a laptop but wants to game. On a budget? Here is a calculation. Refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad W510 Core i7 QM laptop-----$389 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2082HM4963&cm_re=lenovo_thinkpad_Core_i7-_-9SIA2082HM4963-_-Product EXP GDC ExpressCard version without power supply----$52.99 http://www.banggood.com/EXP-GDC-Laptop-External-PCI-E-Graphics-Card-p-934367.html Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB----$129.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500327&cm_re=GTX_750Ti-_-14-500-327-_-Product 90W DC Power Plug----$33 http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-90W-Notebook-Power-Adapter/dp/B00C9KUVWQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1424658894&sr=8-2&keywords=ASUS+laptop+charger Grand Total: ~$604.99 Still Less Than MSI & Alienware solution.

  11. Hi, I have 2 AMD HD7950 running in Crossfire mode and I ran Battlefield 3 at max settings. The computer just shut down after 30 minutes. The GPU is at 90C when it quits. The second time is 70C I tried to turn on all fans inside the PC to max still didn't fix. I tried to lower the setting, still didn't fix. I tried turn on VSync, still didn't fix. The problem won't happen on my GTX660Ti, even at 90C Anything I could do?

  12. =.="""" Too lazy. The CPU 8-pin is too short. I was forced to route it like that........
  13. So I am a Twitch streamer and I have 2 HD7950 running in crossfire. AMD drivers sucks, they always crash and turn off my PC while streaming titles like SimCity2013 and Battlefield 4. Today it crashed while streaming, but this time it crashed like this. So I unplugged one of the graphic cards and everything work fine again Then I fear single GPU cannot handle the load, so I dig up my GTX660Ti and plugged in. After I installed the Nvidia driver, the Open Broadcaster automatically detected there is Nvidia NVENC compatible graphic card and turned on the NVENC decoding. Now there is no performance impact while I stream those game. You think it will stays the same over time?
