While it would be possible to get the GPU to boot with your iGPU, it comes down the nvidia driver recognising the card. And if the driver doesn't recognise the card then it's basically game over.
 
If your friend wants to play around with a Pascal GPU just get any of the GTX 1080s floating about. Way more support for those cards than the GTX 1070/Ti.

I do think that any attempt to game on it will be a waste of money! And It doesn't matter what GPU u get even if u get a Titan its still always going to be limited by that CPU and the RAM! just wait till you get your new PC man  

I would also argue it being a bad investment.
I do not know what exactly what you're going to get in your new PC, but you could in any case just swap the new graphics card over.
Might aswell buy yourself a 2080ti now and upgrade the cpu/motherboard/ram later no matter how big of a bottleneck your current setup might be ?

The CPU and RAM combo there is really showing its age, a GPU will improve it but those games are quite CPU intensive! Also I highly doubt that laptop has the ports / capability to support an external GPU? 

Ahhh okay that makes more sense! When you say eGPU I alway think laptops ?! Any I think that Ansuex is being a little hopeful with the 1080p 60fps, maybe in CSGO if you are very very lucky but as I say the RAM and CPU combo is going to really restrict you in this case to at max 720p 40fps at the lowest settings, especially with (god help me) Fortnite.
 

It will run them yes but not sure about 40-60fps, very lowest settings in CSGO you may get 40fps at 720p 

55C won't hurt your CPU but it seems a little high for idle.
You don't want to get hot enough to activate throttling.
Here is a list of standard CPU temps...

Hi, and could be a bad PCI slot! Has happened to me before try another slot if u have got them! Also try to remove and re install your CPU and RAM, good luck!
 
Read the whole post first mate....

What is the monitor/ how old is it? Your monitor may be dead/ dying and producing the green lines. You should also try reinstalling the GPU drivers. Uninstall using DDU and reinstall from Nvidia's website. If neither the monitor nor the drivers account for the issue, your motherboard is the most likely bet if the problems persist on integrated graphics.

Those are great temps for a laptop under load. Mine reaches around 80c when gaming.

Looks awesome

this is surprisingly kickass for $410

Super excited about ur latest build bro I love all of ur builds so hope this one is just as epic as the other! I will be following dude! I am in love with that case but I still will not let go of my H440

Nah I wouldn't go for a 1070 at all. that CPU is really old. much slower than a modern i5
RX 470 is the best choice IMO
 

Haha thanks a lot

Hey guys,
 
I've started to take apart the case and get it ready for painting. So many rivets!
 





 
Stay tuned for more!
 
Cheers,

Help, I have thermal pads stuck to my face!

Logitech G502... Nuf said!

Get a crappy blue one maybe

Hey man, I just picked up a MSI GE62 6QF about month and half ago and its a great laptop, NVME drive and great build quality! 16GB of RAM and a GTX 970M, and of course the 6700HQ, screen is a delight and the laptop as a whole is great! I highly recommend! I do a simmilar workload to you and its never let me down always buttery smooth

Poor poor console peasants, should have joined the glorious pc master race

Well, get rekt i guess
Worst thing is that a lot of people pay Sony money to use it...
 
Oh well, i'm happy i don't have a PS3 or PS4

G502 is good for me and I have massive massive hands hahaha 

5000 dollars is not so much as a budget as more of a bank balence
