  1. Hello everyone, I used to have an eGPU setup running on my Lenovo P51, but I was having major issues with it. Eventually, I returned to a natural desktop setup. However, I'm considering selling my desktop parts and returning to an eGPU setup to save space and be more efficient with my workflow. This thread will relate to one of the major issues I wanted to ask about with having an eGPU setup. I appreciate any responses to this thread. At some point when I was running an eGPU setup, I switched out the 1070 I had with a 1080 Ti, and this issue was only with the 1080 Ti. During times when I was playing Rocket League with the 1080 Ti, the monitor I was using would periodically flicker on and off, until I closed RL. It could be that the card was under a heavy load (I saw high utilization percentages when doing a basic investigation). Now, the Akitio Node 3 has a 400W PSU, and I was wondering if there was not enough power for the 1080 Ti. The new enclosure I'm looking at (Razer Core X) has a higher capacity PSU (600W, but only 500W will go to the GPU), and should definitely power the 1080 Ti, but I wanted to see if anyone here was having a similar issue with these screen flickers.
  2. Hello everyone, I used to have an eGPU setup running on my Lenovo P51, but I was having major issues with it. Eventually, I returned to a natural desktop setup. However, I'm considering selling my desktop parts and returning to an eGPU setup to save space and be more efficient with my workflow. This thread will relate to one of the major issues I wanted to ask about with having an eGPU setup. I appreciate any responses to this thread. In my initial eGPU setup, I had the Quadro M1200 from the P51 and the GTX 1070 in an Akitio Node 3 working together. Now there were issues when switching between the two cards (I'm assuming this has to be because of the different series of graphics cards). Whenever I used the 1070 at home and had to disconnect the eGPU enclosure to take my laptop to school, it would mess up the display drivers of the P51. For example, whenever I needed to use the HDMI or Mini-DP connection from my laptop, it would mess up my internal display and show no output on the external display. Every time I needed to use the integrated HDMI or Mini-DP port, I would need to re-install the Quadro drivers everytime I needed to use the integrated display connections (which was at least once a week a couple months ago). I was wondering if anyone here has had any similar issues with this on the P51 or any other systems, and any workarounds that I could do to avoid this situation. Thank you again.
