  1. Informative
    HL0315HI got a reaction from Bendy_BSD in EXP GDC External PCI-E x16 Adapter for Laptops   
    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.

    (Not available in America)
    Feed back on the page suggests it support Gigabyte BRIX, Intel NUCs, Clevo P770DM and more.

    HL0315HI got a reaction from Faceman in EXP GDC External PCI-E x16 Adapter for Laptops   
    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

    Grand Total: ~$604.99 Still Less Than MSI & Alienware solution.

    The article confirms that the core used in Nvidia Titan Z is a downgraded version of GTX 780Ti.
    The base clock is 706Mhz and the Boost Clock is 876Mhz.
    It feature 2 full GK110 core. Model # GK-110-350-B1
    Total unified Shader 5760. TMU 480, ROP 96.
    Memory clock speed 7010Mhz
    Total memory 12GB GDDR5. (Same as Quadro K6000)
    Max TDP 375W (2x 8-pin)

    Each core is individually cooled, similar design to last generation dual-GPU cards

    It uses 3 slot configuration. No hope of fitting this in Mini-ITX or fit 2 of them in Micro-ATX chassis, unless you mod it.

    In 3D Mark, it show no advantage to R9 295 x2

    Analysis (Translated from the article):

    Titan Z shows lower power consumption than GTX 780Ti SLI and 60W lower than R9 295 x2
    R9 295x2 uses water cooling so it should be cooler than Titan Z
    Titan Z performs as expected, 82C under load, but fan is loud.

    Conclusion(Translated from the article):
    Major disadvantage
    The price of a Titan Z > 780Ti SLI/GTX Titan Black SLI

    Not worth buying
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Hong Kong computer market response (Top of IMG_0076)
    GTX Titan Z & Titan priced at 3000USD (or $23400HKD) is twice as expensive than a R9 295x2. But Nvidia repose stated that Titan Z is a product aimed  for both extreme enthusiast  and professional. It also provided a cheaper alternatives to Quadro cards. E-Zone predict that first batch of Titan Z will be priced at 30000HKD or above because of its availability. 

    Besides that, Inn3D posted a a picture of a massive heat sink for dual-core graphic cards. The heat sink features 3 giant fans and many heat pipes. They predicted it will be used in Special edition Titan Z.

    I think they under estimated the power of R9-295x2, when they designed this. Not driver issue.
    Even if they tweak the driver, I think the card will not out-perform the R9-295x2 because of the thermal limits of the card
    Now Nvidia have 3 options:
    1. Go back to drawing board and try to fit 2 full Titan Black onto a card and try air cool it.
    2. Tweak the driver and mark down the price of Titan Z
    3. Slap a water-cooler onto the Titan Z and overclock it.
